Awards & Honours

Awards received by Kuoni Travel

It's that feeling when you come face to face with one of nature's wonders. The excitement when you experience a culture new to you. The calming relaxation as you sink into an age old therapy. The sheer pleasure in enjoying surroundings of unparalleled luxury. We understand how you feel and what you need, because we're travellers, too. All our knowledge and experience wins us awards. Important ones.

We've been voted the World's Leading Tour Operator at the World Travel Awards for the past 11 years. The Daily Telegraph's Ultratravel & Daily Mail readers each voted us Britain's favourite. And we've been Britain's Best Longhaul Tour Operator for the past 27 years, as voted by travel agents. This year, with your holiday, we'll show you why.
