A trip of a lifetime! The guide was amazing and went out of his way to make sure we all had everything we needed or wanted. Each day was a wonderfully orchestrated event for us to enjoy. I would certainly use Affordable World again to travel!

Five stars for spa hotels local tour Taipei National Arts Museum Taipei hotel central location to trains local tours in Sun Moon Lake areas
Hey Margaret, We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the spa hotels, local tours, and the convenient Taipei location. We look forward to providing the same 5-star service on your next vacation!
Our trip was wonderful! The convenience of having a guide meet us upon arrival at each new destination and giving us a walking tour or going over or itinerary was wonderful. Not worrying about transportation to & from the hotel was so convenient. Our only mishap during our trip was a miscommunication about our pick up time from the hotel to the port in Mykonos, which could have been avoided if someone could have communicated the time change to us that morning. We were stressing out trying to figure out the situation, considering it was a Sunday. The ferry ride both from Athens & Mykonos were long but pleasant and comfortable. We appreciated the guides telling us what to expect for our ferry trips and making sure we got on the right ferry. Santorini was beautiful. The hotel we stayed at was beautiful but their dining area did not seem to accommodate the number of guests they had. Every morning for breakfast, regardless of what time we went for breakfast, whether it was early or later, it was hard trying to find seating. They ran out of plates and utensils often. I’m not sure they were staffed appropriately given it was going into their off season. We upgraded to fly back to Athens. Normally the ferry would have left in the morning so I was expecting our flight to leave in the morning as well, but our flight did not leave until the evening. We would have liked to have spent a little more time in Athens so it would have been nice if the flight was earlier and left around the same time the ferry was scheduled to leave. But overall, this was a wonderful trip and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is wanting to explore Greece. Affordable Word provides excellent service and does a wonderful job curating the trips. This is the second time I have used them for international trips but I look forward to future trips with them.
Dear Song, Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the guided meet-ups, smooth transfers, and your time in Santorini. We’re sorry for the miscommunication regarding your Mykonos pickup and understand how stressful that must have been. We’ll be reviewing this with our local team to prevent it in the future. We also appreciate your feedback about the Santorini hotel’s breakfast service and have shared it with the hotel management. Thanks so much for traveling with us again — we’re excited plan your next vacation soon!

Hey Joanie, Thank you for sharing such an amazing review! We’re thrilled you loved your Thailand tour, from Bangkok to Krabi and Phuket, and that Nop made it so memorable. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the temples, islands, elephant sanctuary, and all the local experiences. We’re delighted everything—from hotels to transfers—was perfect, and we simply cannot wait to see you soon!
Absolutely Amazing! This was our first time using Affordable World Tours. We were very impressed and will definitely be booking with them again! We did the 10 day trip to Thailand that included Bangkok, Krabi, and Phuket. The hotels were fantastic with clean rooms, comfortable beds, and every convenience a spoiled American could ask for. The trip and tours were a great sample of attractions that let us absorb beautiful scenery, meet elephants face to face, learn history, and take advantage of great shopping. The highlight of our trip was our guide, Nop. He was extremely organized, greeting each of us at the airport with a packet including our itinerary and details for the additional tours we booked. Not everyone in the group had the same itinerary and he managed it flawlessly, making sure everyone knew when to be where, and herding our group through the tours like a pro. Nop was friendly, funny, and personable, giving us lots of information about Thailand history and culture throughout the trip. He really went above and beyond with one particular tourist in our group who was… difficult. Nop handled her antics with more professionalism and patience than I would have thought humanly possible. My friends keep asking me what the best part of the trip was and it’s impossible to answer. Everything we did was amazing and the experiences were so different from each other it’s impossible to compare. That being said, visiting the elephant sanctuary is a must!
Hey there, We always aim to provide exceptional and seamless service, and we’re so glad we hit the mark for you! We’re thrilled that you loved every aspect of the trip and that Nop provided excellent service. He is truly incredible, and we’re so lucky to have him on our team. We’re delighted you fully enjoyed everything Thailand has to offer. Thank you for your glowing review, and we can’t wait to see you in other parts of the world!
Very efficient and timely. Great tour guides
Hey Shiron, We’re glad you found the tour efficient and enjoyed our guides!
The representative we talked to on the phone was very helpful. She gave us options so we did not feel pressured into choosing something we weren't sure about. She then made the necessary changes to our trip plan. We felt heard and confident that we were getting what we wanted.
Hey JAM, We are so happy to hear that you had a great customer service experience! We cannot wait to see you in Greece!
This was a simply amazing experience! Great variety of locations and tours, the hotels were all fantastic, transportation was comfortable and easy. The best thing about it was our guide, Nop. He was absolutely outstanding. He was very organized and gave each tourist an envelope with their itinerary and need to know info. He made sure everyone was comfortable and stayed together. He was funny and engaging, giving interesting information all along the way. He provided insight into Thai culture and was fantastic at answering all of our questions. He also went above and beyond with a very difficult tourist that was part of our group. Words cannot express how awful she was and what she put him through. Through it all, Nop kept everyone together and made sure we all had a fantastic experience.
Hey Mary, We’re so glad you fully enjoyed the Thailand trip and found all aspect of the trip fantastic! Nop will be thrilled to hear your kind words—he truly goes above and beyond to ensure everyone has an amazing experience. We look forward to welcoming you on another trip soon!
This is my first time traveling with affordable world and my experience so far has been underwhelming. It started when I had to call your customer service representative who was rude and I had to ask her to stop rushing me and spend time answering my questions so I didn’t have to keep calling back. Secondly, your website is not very user-friendly. Thoroughly it was a huge debacle with our group based on the number of people who wanted to fly business class. I feel like we were dealt the old switcheroo as many of our prices went up for flying business class and all of a sudden those of us flying business class had maybe 72 hours to pay for our airfare in full, which seemed odd and makes me wonder if our group was singled out. I am very disappointed thus far with my experience with affordable world and have no plans whatsoever to ever travel affordable world again.
Dear Janice, Thank you for sharing your experience and for taking the time to speak with us yesterday. We strive to provide courteous and attentive service, and we are truly sorry to hear that this was not reflected in your initial interaction with our team. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience you encountered when reaching out to our customer service and for any confusion regarding your group’s business class arrangements. We would like to clarify that airfare is subject to change at any time based on the airline’s availability at the time of booking. Upon receiving your bookings, we were notified by the airline of the ticketing deadline. To best accommodate our customers, we promptly informed your group of this deadline to help prevent the fares from increasing. However, we agree that you should have been given advance notice about the possibility of an early ticketing deadline. Please know that we take your feedback seriously and have shared it with our management team and representatives to help us better assist customers in similar situations moving forward. We sincerely hope that your initial experience will not affect your enjoyment of the upcoming trip.
Unfortunately, we were not as impressed with this trip as we were with our prior trip. We felt a lack of consistency as we multiple tour guides and not one throughout our trip. When we messaged the tour guide of the day asking for assistance urgently as one of the members of our group had fallen and broke her leg, we never received a response and still have not been acknowledged. In addition, we purchased a sunset tour when we booked the trip because it was advertised as being the cheapest cost and 2 of our tour group members booked it that day at half price. I submitted a picture of our reservation and a copy of the receipt the other group member had from their purchase that day to show the difference and respectfully request a refund of the difference in price. Again, when I contacted the tour guide of the day, she said that that was out of her control. Very dissatisfied with the communication and contact.
Dear Sara, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry that the Greece tour didn’t live up to your expectations. For our Greece packages, we work with different guides in each city, and some optional tours—such as the Delos Island tour—require guides with specialized knowledge. This results in having different guides throughout the trip. The included guided city tours are conducted by a designated tour guide, while transfers are coordinated by local representatives. We make it a priority to be transparent by outlining the travel style of each trip on the tour detail page, which explains the level of guiding and assistance included. We apologize if the semi-independent nature of this trip was not made clear enough and will use your feedback to improve the clarity of our tour descriptions. It’s very important to us that our guides are professional, responsive, and passionate about providing enriching experiences for our guests. We are deeply sorry that this was not your experience and that you did not receive the assistance you needed in such an urgent situation. We are currently investigating the issues you’ve raised and will get back to you as soon as we receive a report. Thank you again for bringing these concerns to our attention. We hope you were still able to enjoy the beauty of Greece overall! Update 01/02/2026 - Thank you for your patience while we checked with our local partner and attempted to contact the affected traveler to gather more details about the situation. We received a report confirming that two of our team members—one from Reservations and our Santorini representative—were in continuous communication with the affected client from the onset of the injury and remained with them throughout the trip and their hospital stay. We also arranged a transfer for their revised return date. Regarding the Caldera Sailing tour that the clients purchased on the island at a lower rate, unfortunately, we were not in a position to be aware of any special offers that independent sailing companies may provide. Such offers depend entirely on availability, and there is always the possibility that no spaces would have been available had the tour not been booked in advance. Thank you again for your valuable feedback and we hope you will give us another chance.
It was an incredible experience. The trip was very well organized, the guides were very friendly. Laura, the guide from Athens, was very kind. We had a very nice trip. I would do one with you again. Thank you.
Hey Lourdes, We’re glad you had an incredible and seamless trip! We’d love to have you travel with us again!
Our trip to Thailand was amazing. Affordable World made the logistics very easy. Our tour guide, Sharky, was incredibly helpful, kind, and funny. He made the experience truly unique and helped us arrange additional activities. I’m so glad we got to experience Thailand with him. Thank you, Sharky!
Hey Timothy, We’re so thrilled that you had an amazing Thailand trip and that Sharky provided you with outstanding service! He’s truly a gem!
This was the first time booking through an agency for me. They were easy to work with but that's about all that new positive. The hotels looked nothing like the photos of where we stayed. The accommodations were 2/3 stars at best. The rate to upgrade your tickets are astronomical compared to if you booked yourself then upgraded. I will just arrange everything myself next time and save money.
Dear Jacqueline, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not fully meet your expectations. The hotels included in our packages are 4-star properties, and we strive to ensure all accommodations reflect the quality shown in our listings. We’d really appreciate it if you could email us with more details about what you felt was lacking so we can look into it further. We’re also sorry to hear that you found the business class upgrade fares high. Airline upgrade pricing can vary significantly, and we provide rates based on the airline’s availability at the time of booking. We hope you still enjoyed the destination overall!
Our tour guide Andy was outstanding! We loved him and his care of our group! We saw such a range of places in Japan and learned so much! It was a trip of a lifetime for sure! The hotels were lovely and food we were provided was delicious! We’d love to do another tour with Affordable World one day!!
Hey Kara, We’re thrilled you enjoyed your Japan tour and that Andy made it such a memorable experience! We cannot wait to see where you will travel with us next!
Affordable World provided a 5-star experience all the way around. The staff, hotels, food, transport and all other accommodations were exactly as advertised.
Hey Jared, We’re thrilled to hear you had an excellent vacation and it was a 5-star experience all around! We can't wait to see you again!
This package was absolutely wonderful. I greatly enjoyed the services offered. I did spend some days doing my own things but overall it was worth it. The hotel in Bangkok was great with very good service and top notch breakfast. It was walking distance from the mall, train station, and other public spaces. I also enjoyed Phuket, the resort was absolutely beautiful. For the price of airfare and lodging, it is literally a no brainer. I would only suggest looking more into your luggage allowances when having a two part trip. From Bangkok to Phuket, the luggage allowances is totally different than what was allowed from the U.S. into Bangkok. How tour guide was very helpful with this issue so, overall everything went smoothly.
Hey Walter, We’re so glad you enjoyed your trip and loved every aspect of it! We do notify travelers about the baggage allowance on domestic flights, as those planes are smaller than international ones. However, we’ll use your suggestion to improve clarity. We look forward to seeing you again!
Personal service , concern for our comfort and expert, timely advice
Hey Violet, We're so glad you felt well cared for and supported throughout your trip!
This is the 2nd tour we’ve taken with Affordable World. Great accommodations 5 star hotel and a Great cruise down the Nile. Your tour guides are very knowledgeable and want to show us their country. Sometimes very intense ie no plans for lunch. Need some free time ie 30-45 minutes. Great value for money. Thanks
Hey William, We're thrilled you enjoyed the Egypt vacation with us! We appreciate your feedback on pacing and free time, as it helps us improve. Thanks for the kind words and continued support!
We did the Japan package. It was amazing!
Hey Leondra, That’s fantastic to hear! We’re thrilled you loved the Japan package!
