Audley Travel is a luxury tour operator in the UK, which was started in 1996 by Craig Burkinshaw and John Brewer in Northampton. Gradually it grew to become a global travel company, and currently it has its headquarters at Witney, Oxfordshire; other offices are located in London and Boston. Audley specializes in designing customized travel experiences centered on personal preferences.
The main service of the company is personalized travel planning, as every trip would be constructed individually depending on the interests, budget, and speed of the traveler. Audley plans travels to 80-90+ destinations globally, all on the continents and even to Japan, India, South Africa, Australia, and the United States. Its offerings involve itinerary planning, reserving of accommodation, tours, transportation, and local experiences. Travel experts also deal with customers face-to-face, as they usually do the whole process, from planning to after-sales, where continuity and customer centricity are maintained throughout.
Audley also offers a high number of travel formats, such as luxury holidays, safaris, family holidays, cultural tours, honeymoons, and, lately, ocean cruises with land itineraries. The company also focuses on small-scale experience-oriented travel over mass tourism, including local experts, use of personal guides, and access to local places and activities. Its model enables tourists to select the type of accommodation, change day-to-day plans, and incorporate distinctive experiences like wildlife tours, food tours, or heritage tours.
Audley Travel has expanded to a large global operator in terms of scale, with an employee population of over 500-1,000 serving its customers in the UK, US, and Canada. It has won many awards in the industry, among them being from Condé Nast Traveler, Wanderlust, and The Telegraph. Audley is also B Corp certified and has sustainability projects in place in accordance with international environmental and social norms, such as its own Travel for Good fund.
