FOLLOW YOUR LEADER

"Roger was the best tour leader I’ve ever experienced because of the way in which he related to and interacted with the local people. He consistently demonstrated caring and concern for their members and the villages we met along the way."

"Gafa was a gem. He was always looking to make our experience rewarding. A very nice person."

"Lajos is caring and flexible when plans have to be changed."

"Manuel is a marvelous addition to your crew. He is so caring, so knowledgeable and looks after everyone like a mother hen. What an asset. I am dreaming about my next adventure."

"I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how much Mom and I enjoyed the trip!!  Our two weeks were so well organized, we saw so many sights and had such wonderful hikes - geared both for Mom and for me. But most of all I wanted to let you know that Eric is just the greatest Tour Guide... from his sense of humour to his organizational skills, to his people skills - he was just fabulous!  I can't imagine adventure travelling with anyone other than Elder Treks and have been telling everyone the same."

"Nitin is without peer. An incomparable leader who handled logistics flawlessly. His knowledge of India was impressive and the local guides he chose to expand our understanding of a variety of sites was most helpful. He established a positive personal relationship with each and every member of our tour group. I would travel anywhere with Nitin and trust him with my life. I will recommend him as a tour guide to go anywhere he is going to my colleagues and friends. He is a rare leader and a phenomenal human being. "

"David was excellent. He helped me in many ways. He made many efforts to look after the group."

"Abdul was extremely patient - always willing to explain one more time whatever information we needed to know - very kind, thoughtful and always up beat. His passion for archeology, pyramids, pharaohs, and tombs was contagious and inspiring. Very knowledgeable - wonderful sense of humor."

"Excellent guide! Broad interests, intelligent, caring, fantastic language skills, great people person!"

"Turin was excellent in his knowledge of the country, in looking after us, and in providing "surprises.""

"This is my first trip with Claire. She is a pleasure to travel with and a great organizer and communicator. I would love to travel with Claire on another Eldertreks trip!"

"He was indispensable to the enjoyment of the tour.  He was very knowledgeable but also used a reference book if we asked unusual questions.  We always felt that we were getting a correct answer and not just any response he happened to think of.  He also made us laugh a lot."

"Lucas did everything he could possibly do for us. He was a wonderful fit for our group."

"Ham is surely one of the very best guides I have ever had (I have traveled internationally on at least 15 trips catering to wildlife observation). He was knowledgeable (knows and names and even tells the sex) of hundreds of Ugandan birds, an expert sighter (could see a lion about a mile away!!), was always polite, had a great sense of humor, put up with 4 woman old enough to be his mother, ... I could go on and on. He was absolutely wonderful and made the trip one of the most memorable experiences of my life. "

"The ratings of excellent for Guiper should, in our opinion, be higher. Extraordinary would be more accurate. Guiper has a social intelligence that is literally off the charts and his natural thoughtfulness and lovely sense of humor make being in his company an absolute delight."

"Kamel was a great tour leader. His knowledge of Tunisia's history was impessive, he has a great sense of humour, and he added special visits to his family which we all appreciated."

"This was a very active itinerary and Manka helped me through a couple challenging parts. I might still be trying to struggle my way down the Paklenica Gorge Trail were it not for her. She knows her history, and her English is very good. She is VERY personable and has a knack for knowing different personalities and how to communicate with them and get the best out of them while making sure they are getting the best experience she can provide. She was on top of every detail at all times and has an amazing memory. I absolutely love her."

"No doubt Sammy has the fluency skills and organizational skills along with knowledge of Ethiopian history to be athe skillful tour leader he is. His organizational skills were flawless!!! His ability to be mindful of safety and watchful of all his clients at ALL times was impressive. His interactions with his drivers was one of respect and commraderie. Sammy can be hard to follow when sharing details as he uses lots of words to convey his message. I was lucky to have Sammy as my guide and would not have wished for another."

"Good sense of humor and knowledge. He was very accommodating."

"Jeff demonstrated a deep affection for his country. He was knowledgeable of the flora, fauna, history, culture and politics and gave us a wonderful overview of everything. He made sure we saw everything we were promised, but was flexible in giving us spontaneous experiences. He was kind, thoughtful and concerned about everyone's well-being. He also had a good perspective and sense of humor."

"Danny was an excellent trip leader. He generously shared his knowledge and personal experiences. He was always calm and upbeat even when things didn’t go quite as planned. A true professional but also a very kind sweet person."

"A+ Very caring and professional. We have traveled many times with different companies and find Sumit Pruthi to be the best trip leader we have ever had."

"Samir was the best: knowledgeable, organized, pleasant, non-flappable. "

"Knowledgeable, good sense of humor, good at working with people, just a few, mostly minor organizational glitches. We strongly recommend him!!"

"Joel was excellent...all the information he has, organized skills with people and the information book we got at the start...wished more companies would do that"

"This young man is knowledgeable, friendly, funny and well organized. You got a keeper."
