GBWent to Egypt with A&K Went to Egypt with A&K. - Communication was poor - several times had to email repeatedly to get answers. - Clothes they said were required on tours was incorrect. Caused me to have to purchase clothes that were more suitable on the trip - Tipping suggestions were not correct. - Only one meal provided was good - chicken was chewy and dinner options were limited and not what I would expect on an expensive tour. Although food on the Nike Cruise Boat was great. - My food restrictions were not passed on to Egypt. - Out Egyptian guide was wonderful. My issues are more with the US team and not the tour guides. This was during the Israel issues and there was no communication prior to the trip concerning this. I doubt I will travel with them in the future.

GBIf It Was A Free Trip, I Would Not Use A&K I will NEVER, EVER, EVER use A&K again and when asked I tell people to use another tour company. They give you bad and incorrect travel information. They do not return inquires and tell you they are too busy. I am waiting for two refunds. We went to South Africa and Kenya with them. I cannot say enough bad things about them. Interesting that they do not ask their customers to review them at the end of a trip

GBBEWARE DON'T BOOK Extra Services Iceland (Aug. 2021) Used A&K early check-in & 2 extra nights; charged $660 per night (taxes/breakfast) Other guests booked w/hotel (same room) $330. While on trip emailed numerous times & received generic non-answer from Margaret Wnek, Guest Relations. A couple on trip A&K quoted helicopter ride, $3,000. We paid $850 w/hotel for same ride. Asked Ms. Wnek for customer survey of trip like they used to do; told they don't do this.

GBStill waiting After months, I am still waiting for any response from A & K. In the meantime, on various travel websites, I’ve read reviews left by other A & K travelers who had the same similar, disappointing experiences as we did on our A & K safari. I haven’t even gotten any responses from this website! If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve already traveled with A & K and been unhappy. Too bad we trusted this company and shame on them for not caring about their customers.

GBWings over Mediterranean Sept 2022 Wings over Mediterranean Sept 2022. Other than the intra-city flights which were first class private jet, the rest was......average. Tour buses with windows too small to see any passing points of interest. A 250 sq ft "luxury" hotel room---thought I was in a Motel 8. Museum tours led by local experts who over-talked so long that they cut into anything that was planned for the remainder of that day. Restaurants....3 in particular very small, crowded, and not even remotely above average. Written itinerary says "and then return to your host city and enjoy the rest of the afternoon at your leisure." No way...we usually got back to the hotel around 5:30 after already passing up at least one planned exhibit. We had no special tour group privileges...we were just part of the pack and were overrun by tourists at every stop. $40,000 per person....a big huge "ouch"
