    Answered
    Business did not live up to their stated promise. They claimed trips are designed around the traveler requirements. Traveler can select preferred style of accommodations. Create the perfect trip.I asked for ******** expat communities in ********** where I might escape snow on a yearly basis.I asked for very nice accommodations with views. I was told hotels ,where I was booked by Audley, were 5 star. Definitely not true. I was booked in fair to poor accommodations. Only one hotel was close to my requirement.I was not scheduled near any expat communities or popular tourists locations.One location was actually frightening. I asked to leave on arrival. A driver was not available until the next morning. Audley felt I should pay for this night,I tried to resolve this with an Audley representative. I was told it was my fault because I accepted the trip. Virtually every part of the trip was not what I asked for. I believed the representation who made it look very different than it actually was. I believe I was lied to and the trip was misrepresented.I was told $3,020 would be returned to my credit card. I had no choice and my case was closed. I am 80 years old. If I could have gone online and planned this trip on my own, I would have. I hoped Audley would be able to book me for a wonderful trip that would be just what I hoped for. I was taken advantage of.

    We used Audley Travel for a 15 day family trip in June to *****. We paid $40,000 for six people and were never able to see what the breakdown for the $40,000 was. I booked my own airline tickets so the flight was not a part of this $40,000. As part of this package, we rented a car for three days in ********. I saw the bill which I think was an oversight on their part because I was never able to see any bills for this trip, including hotels, driver charges, etc. and it was ***** Euros for three days of car rental. Upon my return, I filled in a survey and mentioned that I thought this was too much for three days and that I would like them to check into it and also that I wanted a breakdown on what was included in the $40,000 that I paid. The representative said that he would check and call me back on the car rental and that there was no way that I could see what the breakdown on the $40,000 was. I have not heard back from anyone from the company. I would not ever recommend this company. I believe I was totally ripped off. I had to leave one star but really give it 0 stars.

    Dear ****, Thank you for your feedback, I am really sorry to hear you feel this way. I can see one of our Client Experience Executives called you on June 26 at 3pm. During this call ****** explained the cost of the car was approximately $600. The amount of 2,8000 Euros you are referring to would be the applicable deductible if the car was damaged. This charge would only have happened if any damage to the hire car had occurred. During the call it was also explained we are a full-service tour operator as such we provide package prices for the entire trip and do not offer a break down. All our trips are customized to the individual and a full package price is offered at every stage of your booking process. As a company we strive to offer high-level of service and unique trips. ****** did not follow up again as during the call you advised overall you had a great trip, and he had explained the information around the car hire and break down. I hope this answers your questions, and I remain at your disposal if you need anything further. Kind regards,
