What travelers are saying

"I paid for the Nepal trip then saw news of monsoon rain, flooding, landslides, 200+ dead. I was told by Elder Treks that they would not cancel the trip. However I did not feel comfortable going especially when weather reports were for more rain. They would not credit me or even allow me to switch to another tour. Because they wouldn't even allow me to switch tours when my concerns were valid, I would not recommend, nor use Elder Treks again."

What travelers are saying

"My husband and I originally booked this tour for April. Unfortunately, a week prior to the trip, my sister died. We called to reschedule and was informed that a rescheduled tour is the same as a cancelation and no refunds are given. Only after much going back and forth, they stated we could reschedule for an additional $600. Shame on this company. The trip was average at best and the lodgings at the Barcelo by the ocean was horrendous. Bedding nit changed. Found pubic hairs in the sheets."
