Audley Travel

We just finished a 10 day private tour in Thailand customized by Cato LaCroix at Audley Travel in the Boston office. The tour included Bangkok, Amphawa, Kanchanaburi, Ayutthaya and Khao Yai National Park. Cato and the team at Audley Travel coordinated the details of our tour in country with Exo Travel Thailand. Exo Travel was highly responsive to our inquiries and always provided exceptional service. We can’t say enough wonderful things about this tour and we highly recommend it! We had no idea how large and diverse Thailand is and we’re grateful to the entire team at Audley Travel and Exo Travel.

We personally want to recognize our amazing guide, Mr. Pipith who was not only an expert in the history of Bangkok, the royal family, the temples, and the culture in Thailand, he was also a consummate expert in wildlife identification and classification. He also shared his knowledge of the flora and fauna throughout our travels. A passionate subject matter expert and globally well-respected birder, Mr. Pipith is able to recognize hundreds of species of birds, either by their call or by sight. He took us to secluded areas in the forest, villages and the city to observe a wide variety of beautiful and exotic, wild birds, native to Thailand. Mr. Pipith also made sure that we saw bats, monkeys, gibbons, elephants, and deer. We were especially grateful for how hard he worked to make sure that we got a chance to see the wild elephants in the national park. He leads many tours in the national parks of Thailand and he has many friends wherever he goes. On the day that we finally spotted wild elephants, he had coordinated with several friends to telephone him as soon as they saw wild elephants coming out of the forest. Due to his relationships and many years of experience in the forest, we were able to immediately go to the area where the wild elephants were feeding. It was a magnificent experience.

Mr. Pipith was always conscious of our safety and comfort. He made sure we were well fed,properly hydrated and well rested. He kept us on schedule and made sure that we didn’t miss anything of importance on the tour in Thailand. He is in very high demand and often guides so if you want to have the kind of unique experience that we had, it’s best to try to book a tour well in advance.

Wherever we stopped, Mr. Pipith would find a local market to buy bananas, mangos, or coconut cake, Thai iced tea or other Thai delicacies, that we would never have tried without his stewardship. Our lunches were always in a local spot away from the crowds of tourists and he always ordered us amazing and delicious Thai dishes. Once Mr. Pipith found out that we enjoyed sunset boat rides, he made sure to include a sunset boat ride every day whenever it was possible.

This is our first time traveling on a tour coordinated by Audley Travel. Cato guided us through every step of our vacation planning process. When we first contacted Cato, he explained the details od a number of different tours of Thailand, which included some things that we really weren’t interested in doing, like an elephant sanctuary. When we told Cato that we were more interested in Eco tourism and preferred to see the elephants in the wild, he said give me a week and I’ll come back to you with a customized tour package based on what you want to do and see. We were overwhelmed by the customized tour that Cato created for us. He provided every experience that we had requested and more. He also selected the most amazing hotels! By taking the time to get to know us he was able to guide us into experiences that we didn’t even know we wanted, but once we were in Thailand, and had those experiences we were so grateful for Cato taking the time to get to know us well enough to pick up things that he knew we would really love. Cato is everything that you want in a travel consultant. Someone who really gets to know you and then works diligently to make sure he provides you the experiences that he knows you’re going to cherish.

Nick Botham was amazing in helping us arrange our honeymoon back in November last year. He put together a really special itinerary and was at the end of the phone to give us support when we were out there. Really great experience and would definitely recommend. Thank you.

Katie helped us with a Maldives holiday and the service she provided was great. Everything was personalised, she really listened to what we wanted and it's comforting to know the person has actually been where you're recommending

Although we didn't book due to the budget we had for Vietnam the period of time we dealing with Christian LeFort was really good. Took the time for a teams call to run through options and gave other options we had not thought off. The reason we did not book in the end was due to the budget of wanting to move around which involved alot of flights. The experience was still good over the week of deciding.

Gave us the most beautiful and magical Safari experience we could have ever asked for. Theresa Arachi was our specialist who organised our itinerary for Tanzania and the camps she chose for us were just out of this world. Audley have been absolutely incredible.

Always fantastic service! ✈☀
