What travelers are saying

"We did the tour to Bangkok and Phuket in off season. We were concerned about the weather and if we would get a sub-par experience. But we had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend Affordable World!! Great company. Very organized and thorough. Our tour guide was amazing! He explained all of our stops and even some extra tid bits about the country. We were transported in air conditioned vans/sprinters to every stop. We felt right at home!"

What travelers are saying

"I have taken 13 trips with WT, most recently a marvelous adventure in Viet Nam and Cambodia. Always difficult to name a favorite since their trips offer such a great mix of culture, history and scenic wonders. Each trip is unique but all trips share their great attention to detail, incredible trip leaders and a single, professional point of contact. Our Viet Nam trip no exception, the opportunities for exposure to the history, and culture (and incredible cuisine) was outstanding! Looking forward to my 14th!"

What travelers are saying

"Traveling with Smart Trip from Rome to Croatia was one of the best experiences of my life. It was easy, convenient, and allowed for me to focus on my studies as I knew my travel logistics were covered. The staff at Smart Trip were all friendly and very accommodating to study abroad students, many had studied abroad before and knew what it was like! I loved being able to meet other students studying abroad that I would not have otherwise known were in Rome too! Smart Trip helped create one of my best memories from Europe, cant wait for more!"
