TESTIMONIALS - WHAT ELDERTREKKERS ARE SAYING

"Beyond my expectations, a great learning experience. Best parts: meeting Moroccans most days; learning about Moroccan culture; stunning scenery. Thoroughly enjoyed every day of the trip. Have recommended ElderTreks to others. "

"Your folk appear to be competent, friendly, and easy to work with. I like that."

"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. We had no choice, however. We continue to be very impressed with Eldertreks, and look forward to other opportunities to travel with your company. Thank you very, very much."

"Great office communication and efficiency. Fair pricing."

"We enjoyed the active hikes, the remoteness of the countryside, the people and the local guides. The wranglers and cook on our trek, each picnic and most of all the energy and excitement that Florencia gave us all - she is contagious! Thank you all the staff, this adventure we will long remember."

"Pre-travel communication (phone and written) was thorough, informative and well organized. Friendly phone contact!!"

"There are 15 people in our 21 day Vietnam tour - 13 Americans and 2 Canadians. All of us are very experienced world travelers.

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!"

"A good trip, well organized with outstanding staff and friendly group of travelers. Transylvania was much more beautiful than I expected and I particularly enjoyed the hikes and villages."

Manuel was truly a 10 throughout the tour, knowledgeable resourceful and well organized. I enjoyed all the day trips - the tour was perfect."

"ElderTreks made travel really easy."

"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."

"You folks are always great. What a pleasure."

"Everything was so organized! We appreciated the timely stops and hikes during each day. We really liked the traditional foods and all lodgings were excellent."

"Eldertreks gave me credit in the catalog for 2 of their Egypt pictures that I had taken for their Egypt page :)… brag, brag… Had to mention this…:) The truth is, I love Eldertreks so much, their tours, their tour guides (!) and the office staff, that I am proud of and happy for every tiny, minute contribution that I can make….. Thank God there will be Eldertreks’ trip to Uganda in February to break up the long winter."

I especially enjoyed visiting all the hill tribes, Inle Lake and all there was to see in that area - the travel by longboats, the time on the Pandaw, observing life on the river and balloons over Bagan. I enjoyed every opportunity to visit and interact with people."
