"Manuel was very much in charge of everything – he worked hard and all the details were well covered."

"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."

"The short version this is that our PNG trip was a huge success and Nitin is a super leader - would definitely travel again with him. He is a definite "keeper" and all your clients will enjoy him. On a scale of 1 to 10, he is definitely a 10!"

"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."

"Douglas is a scholar and a gentleman. He knows just how to read people and make them happy."

"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.""

"I want to thank you so much for making my trip to Kenya/Tanzania the best of my life. It was absolutely amazing!!!"

"Thuy was excellent - very informative about her country. She gave me a real insight into Vietnam."

"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. "

"Damla is a world class guide with a superior knowledge of the ancient history of Asia Minor and modern day turkey. She should have a show on the History Channel."

"What made this trip unusual, even for experienced travelers, was the extraordinary personal charm, enthusiasm and thoughtfulness of Guiper and the kindness and knowledge of the local guide, Antonio, in Guatemala. We have traveled for many years and cannot remember any guide who had Guiper's ability to enliven each day with his wit and good humor and with an almost preternatural ability to see what each member of the group needed to make the day pleasurable and interesting."

"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."

"He was always helpful, cheerful and considerate and had a great sense of humor and his knowledge of the country was excellent!"

"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!!"

"Martin is a very qualified leader. His thoughtfulness and helpfulness were exemplary"

"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"

"Karl continuously went above and beyond everyone's expectations! He was informative, witty, never boring, helpful, kind and full of surprises! I would gladly travel with him again!!!"

"This was the trip of a lifetime. I highly recommend Elder Treks. This was almost a month's trip to South Africa. Dylan was our tour guide and he did an outstanding job of seeing that we were happy, well taken care of, comfortable, and that all our needs were met. He did an outstanding job. The itinerary was perfect. Great hotels, lodges, etc. and excellent meals 3 times a day. They did not scrimp on anything. It was an excellent trip from beginning to end. They made sure that everything was perfect, including the wine that was served at almost every dinner meal. 14 people on this trip---all cooperative and insuring that we always left on time. I have travelled with other tour companies and this was the best! Consider booking with Elder Treks. I think you will be glad you did. If you have any questions, please email me and I will be sure to respond."
