The two tour leader Wilfred and Tarik were superb. They moulded into the group with their friendly manner but remained very professional and knowledgeable throughout. Did they train in the Happy Store?
This was an excellent trip in all respects. We were fortunate to have a cohesive, compatible group and an excellent tour leader. Activities were varied and interesting, including the optional ones. Good weather throughout was a lucky plus for the trip.

Starting in Jackson Hole, you’ll take hikes in Grand Teton and Yellowstone, with a Trip Manager on hand to show you all the stand-out sites – we’re talking waterfalls, geysers, utterly artistic viewpoints, and even a few grizzly bears too.
An un-hurried but comprehensive experience with good optional activities. It compared well with my previous trips in Alaska that included Denali NP, Kenai Fjords NP, Seward and Anchorage. I was pleased to re-visit my love of Alaska with family members. Excited to see my first caribou but missed seeing more bears. New for me on this trip were more time to explore Alaskan Native culture and lifestyle and the eclectic charm of small town Talkeetna.
Great trip. Full on pace, would have to skip activities to slow down! A cultural and nature trip. Guatemala was my favourite country; the Mayan history and culture. The archeological site at Copan adds to the diversity of experiences on this trip. As well the more recent history of regime change in Nicaragua. The Spanish colonial architecture was highlighted at all destinations, quaint hotels. Nature’s beauty and wild life was showcased throughout. Overall, a diversity of experiences filled the two weeks!

I went on a trip in July 2023 and loved every second of it. We saw 5 bears in Denali, had some great hikes. The group was fun and our guides were amazing and made sure all of our dreams came true. The dinners were so yummy, I loved the grilled salmon but also the curries and pasta dishes we had. The trip felt like traveling with family and I want to go back to see other parts of Alaska's amazing wilderness.
We loved our trip to Costa Rica/Panama and it was a perfect mix of tours and time on our own. The guides were all great and the hotels (including breakfast) all good -- one less so but not bad... Highly recommend this trip!
