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 does a fine job of ushering around his group. He is extremely knowledgeable about a myriad of topics and informed about what we are touring. Entertaining and organized."

"Manuel was knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and courteous. He has a passion and enthusiasm for his job."

"A couple of the people on the trip said that they had been looking, without success, for an all Chile trip and were very happy to have found this trip. It was a great itinerary. Punta arenas to San Pedro gave us a great overview of Chile"

"Exceptional experienced trip leader. One of the best"

"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."

"Tomas's language skills and personality made our experiences in all three countries memorable. He was a tremendous asset in every respect. "

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

"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."

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

"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."

"Guiper was enthusiastic, energetic, always available and sensitive to everyone's needs. He has a great sense of humour. His knowledge is impressive and, as well as giving us information, he was always open to learning from others."

"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."

"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."

"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"

"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."
