We saw a lot of Japan in a short space of time. I wish the Hotels had been closer to the city centers but all were located close to a subway station. Our guides and bus drivers were great. Really know what you want to see in your downtime before you go - it will make it easier to navigate getting around

Honeymoon in Thailand
Went on a trip to Bangkok for our honeymoon and absolutely enjoyed it. I mean it was perfect from start to finish. We met new people, we felt safe, and we had a ton of time to do our own thing as newly weds. 1000/10 recommend

Our Thailand Experience
Our guide took the time to make our trip a memorable experience. He showed us around Thailand to more places than listed. The accommodations in Bangkok were a 9 out of 10. The location made it easy to maneuver around the city, and the food was great. The trip overall had smooth transitions from location to location. I would highly recommend this experience. Finally, be sure to book the elephant experience. It was a ride to get there, but it was well worth it .

Affordable World, Helping Create the Best Trips Ever!
I would recommend using affordable word to everyone! It was such a smooth, easy process from beginning to end. From registering online, to being on the trip itself, affordable world took care of everything! They did all the logistics... booking airlines, shuttle transfers, hotels and ferrys. They also included a small, private tour with every destination we went to which added to the trip! It was the perfect combination of events planned for us, while also having plenty of time to explore on our own and do whatever we wanted to. There was one day when our ferry was canceled due to high winds, and affordable world took care of everything. This was such a relief and we never had to worry about where we were going. Thank you so much for helping to create the trip of a lifetime!

Thank you for doing all the hard work that goes into planning a vacation. I would have loved to have been able to read customer reviews on the excursions offered to help make better decisions on which are worth taking. We absolutely loved and were sad to say goodbye to our tour guide, Bagus. Until next time Bali.

Hey Aura,
We're so glad you enjoyed your trip and loved your time with Bagus! We’ll keep your feedback in mind. Until next time—Bali will be waiting!
The guided tour was the best part of the trip.
The tour guide was friendly, informative and kept us on schedule. She informed us about Japan’s language and money. She recommended restaurants and other activities to do in Japan.

Hey Lisa,
We're glad you enjoyed the guided tour and that the tour guide provided excellent service! We look forward to seeing you on another trip soon!
We had a great experience in Japan. The land tour was a great. The days were very busy. We booked a few days on our own in Tokyo before to visit some places not part of the tour and it gave us some time on our own which I would recommend. We would definitely book again with affordable World.

Hey Rita,
We're thrilled you had a great experience in Japan and enjoyed the balance of the tour and your own time in Tokyo! We cannot wait to see you again soon!
We did the Thailand ATV tour and it was fantastic. From the airport transfers, hotels, tours, guide, van drivers, food. We couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable trip/experience. The elephant sanctuary was our #1 tour. I highly recommend adding all the optional tours. When are you going to be back in Thailand? Our favorite hotel was in Phuket, as it's right on the Andaman Sea. Our guide Kitty was amazing and took very good care of us the entire trip. She even took us right to the security line at the airport on our flight home. I'm already looking at other places/tours offered by Affordable World.

Not better just average unlike my other…
Not better just average unlike my other Good tour groups I took trips to Asia. They did not have communication option before during flight emergencies. Other tour groups have better communication with airport transfers and English language Guide. They can improve in a lot of basics.
Reply from Affordable World2025-07-08
Dear R J,
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations and that you found the trip to be average.
We understand how important clear communication and support are, especially during flight-related emergencies. As such, we make it a priority to be transparent and provide detailed transportation information and emergency contact numbers in the "Before You Go" document, so travelers have access to assistance when needed. We're sorry if this was not clear enough. We will use your feedback as we continue to improve our services.

The location of all hotels was far too…
The location of all hotels was far too far from anything walkable or relevant. The hotels themselves were cramped and difficult to use with two people. There was too much emphasis on "shopping" and not enough on relevant historical things.
Reply from Affordable World2025-07-08
Dear Anne Marie,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear that you found the hotel location far from everything. We are surprised as the hotels are close to train stations and the city center. However, we appreciate your feedback and will use it to select accommodations more centrally located in the future.
While many of our guests enjoy the included city tours and sightseeing activities, we understand that preferences can vary. We're also sorry to hear that you felt the tours were too focused on shopping. We would greatly appreciate it if you could email us the specific tours you found to be shopping-oriented, as this is not our intention and your input will help us improve.
We hope you still enjoyed the destination overall.
It was a small group and we all got along really well. Everything was planned perfectly and the tour guides were amazing. Overall the tour was the perfect blend of planned and independent. We will definitely use Affordable World again!

Hey Bev,
We're so excited you enjoyed the tour, the guides, and the perfect balance of planned and free time! We can’t wait to see you in other parts of the world!
I would have given you 5 stars but the hotel in Athens was not the best. It seemed to be in a sketchy area and was so far away from Plaka and Monestariki. We had to navigate the public transportation by ourselves which was a little nerve wracking. The guides and drivers were all amazing! Loved all the tours and other hotels. Highly recommend.
Reply from Affordable World2025-06-18
Hi Suzanne,
We’re sorry to hear that the location of the Athens hotel wasn’t to your liking. We do our best to select centrally located hotels to make it easier for guests to explore the city using public transportation during their free time. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration when reviewing future hotel options.
We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed every other aspect of the trip and found the guides and drivers to be amazing! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
The trip was nice but I’m not impressed with the stops on the tours that are for local sales pitches. We have seen this in both of our Affordable World trips (to Thailand and Bali). Also, it would be helpful if you would give an estimated amount of time for each excursion. Overall the tour guides are excellent and very courteous. Most of our hotels seem to be “off the beaten path” which makes it more difficult to see the sights of the towns.

Dear Heather,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the trip overall and that our tour guides made a positive impression!
We're sorry to hear that some of the tour stops weren't to your liking during both the Thailand and Bali trips. While many of our guests enjoy the included city tours and sightseeing spots, we understand that preferences can vary. To help travelers make the most of their experience, we include a variety of key highlights in each itinerary.
We provide a day-to-day itinerary with the schedule upon arrival, but we appreciate your feedback and will work toward sharing more detailed timing and exploring alternate stops in the future.
Thank you again for your feedback and we hope to see you again!
Very organized and trustworthy, loved it and cant wait to book more with them.

You will not be disappointed!
This company was great! I found a great deal and was a little hesitant, but after reading a lot of their five star reviews, I felt like this would be a good company to choose for my first time visiting Thailand, and they did not disappoint. The company was very professional whenever I emailed about questions they responded in a timely manner. They sent all the documents for travel that I needed. The tour guides were amazing. The hotels were amazing. I have been recommending everybody to them since I got back from my trip. There are a lot of companies that do travel bundles and tours, but this honestly was the best experience in the best company
