Tour Operator
We focus on small groups, unique itineraries, and intimate local cultural experiences. We are a Veteran owned business and our guides are among the most experienced in the industry.
"When founder and lead guide Kevin Rosenberg sold Gear To Go Outfitters in 2018 he took his adventure travel offerings with him and started International Adventure Guides in 2019. Kevin has been a professional guide since 2009 and has been featured on ABC News, The New York Times, The Science Channel, Backpacker Magazine, New York Magazine, NBC Today, and more.
WE BELIEVE IN PRIORITIZING UNIQUE ITINERARIES, SMALL SMALL GROUPS AND INTIMATE LOCAL, CULTURAL EXPERIENCES. International Adventure Guides (IAG) focuses on providing immersive experiences that are true “bucket list” adventures. By limiting the number of adventures to a few destinations, IAG has become experts on those regions with deep knowledge on the specific destinations and itineraries curated for its customers.
WE BELIEVE IN FOSTERING A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND RESPECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT. IAG is dedicated to only serving small international travel groups, limiting group size to 12 guests and 2 guides. These small groups are able to develop new connections, but do not feel like they are lost among a crowd of others. Additionally, small groups allow IAG to remain committed to the Leave No Trace ethos – minimizing impact to both the environment and sensitive cultural areas.
WE BELIEVE IN PROVIDING OUR TRAVELERS WITH A WIDE RANGE OF EXPERIENCES, GUIDED AND UN-GUIDED. IAG recognizes that the customer’s experience on their travels with us is paramount. In addition to providing its guests with an exclusive adventure in amazing destinations, there is ample free time, both on the trail and in the city, to have time for personal adventure and discovery."
