What travelers are saying

"Thank you for diligently planning and coordinating my travels during a crazy time. I didn't think I would feel comfortable traveling internationally, but after going through it, I'm ready to go on my next trip abroad. The Argentinian side of Patagonia was spectacular and the weather and views to/from Fitz Roy completed my vision of the Patagonian mountains. Our group felt very accomplished. Ushuaia was a completely different environment, reminding me of San Francisco - cooler and with beautiful mountains. The team at Ushuaia (Jorge & Marcella) were super accommodating and they made my excursions more enjoyable. The other group participants were all local Argentinians and made me feel welcomed - I've made new friends along the way. I will definitely recommend Ushuaia to anyone traveling to the region. The hikes were equally challenging and the service they provided was excellent. It was a great way to end the trip! Thank you again for the adventures and I hope to see you again soon."

What travelers are saying

"I went on a week long trip in Napa and Sonoma and had an incredible time. The trip was so well organised - we went through the most beautiful parts of Northern California and the roads were blissfully quiet. The food stops were really well organised too - a particular highlight was stopping among the redwoods for lunch. I loved the way that you could go at your own pace - there was no pressure to keep up with anyone, and you could also zip off on your own if you wanted to, as the GPS trackers on each bike kept you on route. I really couldn't reccommend it enough!"

What travelers are saying

"The tour had an excellent itinerary and activities, giving a broad overview of Peru - we loved it. Accommodations (with one exception) were great, and all had an included breakfast buffet. The tour's included activities (e.g. cooking class, pisco tour and tasting, potato park, boat tour of Isla Ballestas) were terrific. Appreciated the two included flights which saved a lot of driving time. Logistics were handled, and everything was smooth and easy (thanks to our CEO, Mary Chu!)."

"An incredible amount is packed into this tour. It's a tiring schedule, but well worth it. The excellent tour leader, Alkan, really brought the history to life. The balance of locations, mixing up historical sights with natural wonders such as Capadoccia and Pamukkale as well as some beautiful seaside resorts, is a great mix. Highly recommended."
