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 made our travels flow smoothly and is just a pleasant person to be with."

"Lajos did a great job. Things went smoothly due to his efforts. He was sensitive to our needs. Lajos and the driver added a great deal to the trip."

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

"He was great. Even when you thought you couldn’t do it, he would give you courage to go on."

"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. "

"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."

"Wherever he goes, I plan to book a trip!"

"I cannot imagine a better guide."

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

"I cannot imagine a better guide for India then Claire. She remained calm, cheerful and helpful.She has a great sense of humor and an obvious love of the country. She gave us history and understanding based on personal experience.She moved easily through the group sharing meals and conversation with all of us at different times. She encouraged everyone to get to know each other. She was great. "

"The tour was fantastic, in large measure because of the exceptional professional competence and friendliness of Ollie along with the excellent service of Stefan, our driver.  We will surely use ElderTreks for some future trips.  We hope tour director/guides on other trips are as great as Ollie."

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

"Duane was one of the most knowledgeable guides we've ever had. He gave us running commentary during our long bus rides. He knew the history, tribal cultures, topography, some geology, and the route. He was also very familiar with most of the lodges we were staying at. He never minded answering the blizzard of questions we all threw at him."

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

"Ham was terrific. I can't say enough positive things about him. He was knowledgeable, a keen guide- saw birds so far away I was amazed. He had a wonderful sense of humor and we had many laughs. He is just a complete gem. "

"Damla was very knowledgeable about the many aspects of the trip, both historical, cultural and about Turkey itself."

"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."

"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."

"Helen absolutely made our trip. She worked overtime to give us a fabulous experience and succeeded way above expectations."

"Sahil was just perfect. He made everything run smoothly, was caring, had a good sense of humor, imparted a wealth of knowledge about all we saw and did plus was fun to be with."

"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."

"Christos was a joy, a warm personality, encouraging, did every thing in his power to make sure we each had a great experience, a culinary expert when ordering meals. You are fortunate to have him!"

"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."

"I have again enjoyed another Eldertreks trip and have more planned upcoming. I just wanted to let you know that in all my years of traveling--and with several different tour companies--I've never had such a good guide as Sumit Pruthi! My friend and I experienced a wonderful tour thanks to his excellent skills. Just wanted to let you know what a jewel you have!!!"

"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!!"
