GBExtremely unhelpful and unresponsive Extremely unhelpful and unresponsive. I place at several calls with the agent assigned to my trip to assist in logistics. None of the calls were returned. For assistance they refer you to 3rd party vendors that charge you an arm and a leg... not the kind of service one expects for even the least prestigous of tour companies.

GBIncredibly bad service Incredibly bad service. Considering the high prices of this company, you might hope for commensurate service. A&K failed to meet us at the airport,wouldn’t reimburse for taxi fare, and was deceptive about Covid protection on their cruise. We will never travel with this amoral company again.

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"

GBOur trip to Spain and Portugal did not… Our trip to Spain and Portugal did not meet expectations. This was our first A&K trip. It did not compare favorably to our Tauck trips, Backroads, or even trips we planned ourselves and guides we hired. There were numerous disappointments that I won't even mention here. My husband and I both wrote to A&K and received no response. We didnt want anything from them...in fact we wouldn't take another trip with them if it was free. We were only trying to give some constructive feedback. I would be happy to go into more detail if anyone is interested.
