What travelers are saying

"We were very happy with the trip and how we worked together with you to plan everything. All of the places we went were amazing. Rome had amazing ancient history, art, and architecture as did Pompeii, and Florence had amazing Renaissance history, art, and architecture, while Milan had a little of both but also with the feel of a modern city. The Amalfi Coast and Lake Como were beautiful. We loved Positano (where we stayed) and Ravello best of the places of the places we visited in The Amalfi Coast because they had the most charm and beauty and the least people. In Lake Como, we stayed in Bellagio, but everyplace we visited in Lake Como was beautiful and charming. However, Bellagio, drinking wine and watching the sunset in Varenna, and the boat tour of the lake stood out as our favorite activities. The food was also amazing everywhere, from local places to fine dining the food was fantastic and memorable. We loved Italy. It’s beautiful, and we’ll definitely come back. All of the travel arrangements were excellent and everything was easy. The drivers were friendly and spoke good to excellent English as well as Italian. And having the extra phone was a nice convenience. We didn’t have any stress or difficulties during the trip about the details as they were all taken care of with excellent results. Our favorite drivers: Naples to Positano and back (and Pompeii) Salvatore was excellent. Driving with him was like being with a friend or family member. He was very concerned with our comfort and always suggested places to stop for pictures or a view and had great knowledge of the Naples and The Amalfi Coast. He was also a gentle driver and never made us uncomfortable. Florence Day Trip – I apologize but his name escapes me (maybe Giorgio?), but he was excellent for all the same reasons we liked Salvatore. He even took us to his favorite Gelato shop near his home town and it was so much better than most of what we tried, and since he grew up there he had lots of really interesting local history Milan to Bellagio – I apologize I also forgot this gentleman’s name, but he was a good driver especially around all the curves to and from Bellagio. Not as talkative as the other two, but very friendly and a gentle driver Our favorite guides: Vatican / Franchesca – Interesting personality and very different that the usual guide experience, but we enjoyed her character. She did what we were interested in doing and never let anyone forget that we (and she) were VIP! Pompeii – I apologize I forget her name, but she was very nice and attentive and very interested in what we wanted to know and see and learn more about. It felt tailored to us and what we wanted, which is why you hire a private guide! All of the other guides and drivers were good but the ones above were the best and most memorable. Thanks again for the great trip! We would definitely recommend you to friends, and in fact we already did recommend our friends Derrick and Lorena to you."

What travelers are saying

"I had no idea what to expect, but what I experienced was way over what I could even imagine! The landscaping was eye candy for the soul no matter where you looked. It was enjoyable even when driving between sites. Hotels were well appointed, employees accommodating . . . loved the horse park accommodations!!!! Glacier climb, kayaking in glacial bay, hiking along the coast, Diamond Beach, etc. were all exciting and beyond words."

What travelers are saying

"From the moment we stepped on board the stunning Turkish gullet in Croatia, we knew we were going to have an amazing week. The other six guests were just as enthusiastic, and we all bonded very quickly. Helena, our Archeologist was a great host and made our site visits come to life with her storytelling. There was a good balance between visits and time foe relaxing, and swimming in secluded bays. The food was delicious, and the wine was excellent . The attention to detail was second to none. Peter Sommer was in regular touch with Helena to ensure everything going well. Impressive!"

What travelers are saying

""There were so many wonderful moments it is hard to pick just a few. We loved the private, history filled tour of Buenos Aires in particular. Our guide was knowledgeable about past and current history as well as offering reflections on living in Buenos Aires. We enjoyed the Tango Dinner in Buenos Aires and the Argentine Dinner Party Experience. Ushuaia was a beautiful place to visit. We were on our own for dinner here but got excellent recommendations from our planner and another from our vehicle mates on the 4X4 Adventure Tierra del Fuego. We had three outstanding meals at 1/2 the price we would pay at home! Our driver/guide on the 4X4 trip was excellent and the whole day was filled with beautiful vistas, excellent company and food. We enjoyed the Beagle Channel Boat tour to visit the Magelanic Penguins. Calafate included a wonderful walk through the Laguna Nimez reserve (a bird photographer’s/watcher’s dream). Visiting the Perito Mareno Glacier was as awe inspiring as any other great wonder such as the Grand Canyon (many people sitting and watching it for extended periods). We thought our chances of hearing and seeing the glacier in action (calving) would be rare but in our couple of hours, it happened quite a few times. Next we spent a day at an El Calafate Ranch with horseback riding. The day was wonderful and, like many of the places we had been, the scenery was just awesome. We ended our tour with three nights and two days at a camp in Patagonia. Our two days of hiking were spectacular and included amazing vistas and views (think Ansel Adams). As an amateur photographer, it seemed only a dream that we might come across the top of the food chain (Puma) but, on our second day, we were lucky enough to we within photographic distance of one at a recent kill. The guides and entire staff at the camp were outstanding and super friendly. It was early spring and it was wonderful coming back to a lit fire in the wood stove of our Suite Dome (well worth the splurge).""

What travelers are saying

"I had a great time in Caserta touring the Reggia and grounds. I also attended two musical programs in the Capella in the reggia. I took a cab to Caserta Vecchia yesterday but I couldn’t get across that I wanted to stay a few hours so I could have lunch. He kept saying 30 minutes in Italian. Maybe he was negotiating because he seemed suprised when I came back after 30 minutes quick walk. Oh well. I went back to the reggia and saw some things I didn’t have time for on Saturday. On to Roma this morning."

What travelers are saying

"My husband and I booked a trip over a year ago with Sojourn for one specific reason, we were able to drive there and not have to take a plane. We have a doctors note stating my husband is unable to fly due to medical reasons. Now due to covid we cannot cross the boarder to get there so we have to cancel. I spoke with the owner of the company approximately late July and he suggested we wait to see what the U.S Government would decide on August 23 2021. I called him once it was confirmed that the boarder would be closed until September 29 2021 and wanted to cancel as it was getting to close. We paid over $6000 Canadian. The company has a waiting list for this particular time and trip and our place has already been filled, however, the owner will only refund us $2025. He refuses to refund the rest. We are so angry and disappointed as this was a lot of money and nothing to him. Now we are unable to plan a trip in Canada that we could actually get to. We thought we could trust this company as we had travelled with them before, sadly the owners greed wins and we are out a significant amount of money. I do not recommend booking with this company and will not ever again."

Guided Group Tour Selection Trips

A guided tour can be an exciting adventure or a relaxing affair, depending on your idea of a vacation. Proper planning is key to ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. Here are some helpful travel tips to consider before embarking on your guided tour:

  • Choose a tour offering unique experiences or off-the-beaten-path destinations to make your trip memorable.

  • Opt for smaller group tours for a more personalized experience and better interaction with your guide.

  • Prioritize safety by ensuring the tour operator adheres to strict safety standards and provides adequate insurance coverage.

  • Consider the environmental impact of your tour and choose operators committed to responsible and sustainable tourism practices.

  • Research the local cuisine and be adventurous with your food choices to fully immerse yourself in the culture.

  • Pack light and smart, focusing on versatile clothing and essential items to stay comfortable during the tour.

  • Take advantage of local guides' knowledge and expertise to gain deeper insights into the destinations you visit.

  • Stay flexible and open-minded to unexpected changes or opportunities that may arise during your escorted tour.
