We wanted to let the ElderTrek agency and our fellow world travelers know that our Vietnam guide Ms Thuy knowledge of the history, customs and social structure was unsurpassed. She shared her life with us and opened her heart and soul so that we felt the soul of Vietnam.

Roger Burrows, our tour leader's attention to any and all details of needs of our group was simply remarkable. We want you to know if you ever have an opportunity to travel with Ms Thuy and Roger Burrows, you will be in the hands of the best tour guides we have ever traveled with. The special treatments never stopped!"

"Thank you so much for calling us back on Sunday, something we never expected but appreciated so much. It is a very difficult time for us - and we cannot tell you how disappointed we are to have had to back out of a trip we were so looking forward to - especially as we almost were walking out the door on our way.

Thank you all the staff, this adventure we will long remember."

"Three years ago I went on an ElderTreks trip to Thailand. It was a highlight of my traveling experiences. Recently I went on a group trip to
Costa Rica arranged through a travel agency. Although it was basically a good experience, the differences in the quality of your trip and that trip where light years apart. Yours was so well organized and the attention to detail was remarkable. The local guides on your trip where informative and I left Thailand feeling knowledgeable about Thailand and the people. I am looking forward to taking another ElderTreks trip. The problem I have is I teach and so many of the times of travel don't work with my schedule. I plan on taking many more trips through ElderTreks when my schedule allows so don't forget about me! I just wanted to provide this feedback because people usually only write with complaints."

"I LOVED the trip! Very helpful staff, outstanding food, even the weather was organized to perfection!"

"So impressed with the travel packet. I’ve never received so much info and maps before. And the personal relationships from those in the office."

"Immediate and personal responses endears me to ElderTreks."
