"This Greenland adventure was everything one could hope for--incredible hiking, stunning views, kayaking around icebergs, meeting with locals for an in depth knowledge about the country. Kevin, our guide, was also terrific and the organization of the trip was impeccable. Highly recommend this trip or any other Northern countries with Kevin."

"Mario Marin is a gem!!! Tom and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip with him and driver Pablo. His unbridled enthusiasm and knowledge about all things Costa Rica kept us excited day after day! He is a wonderful person with a happy, friendly disposition, and impressively articulate and well informed. As a guide he was able to spot and identify birds that we could just barely see. As for the itinerary, it was the perfect amount of time in each location. We saw all the different monkeys and even the elusive Quetzal! Thank you so much! This trip was a once in a lifetime opportunity for us. Josh and Wild Planet Adventures will always be highly recommended by us!"

"I had paid the deposit but not completed or signed the Booking form. Heritage Expeditions say that because I paid the deposit that is as good as signing the Booking Form. Of course, this is absolute nonsense. My deposit should be refunded in full being 294 days out from the start of the Seabirds and Cetaceans expedition."

What travelers are saying

"We would highly recommend seeing the Galapagos Islands on the Santa Cruz II operated by Metropolitan Touring. The 90 passenger ship was very nice with lots of pleasant common space to relax when you were on board - a large library, bar, lovely outdoor covered deck area. The food and service were very good. All the staff seemed eager to please. There is a medical doctor on board the entire time. Transportation to/from each island was very well organized so there was very little idle waiting time. Our naturalist guide, Lola, was excellent. She was extremely knowledge and made sure we saw and learned as much as possible. There was a morning and afternoon activity every day so your time seeing wildlife was maximized. Sea kayaking and mountain biking were also offered, and there is a glass bottom boat for those who don't want to snorkel. Metropolitan also arranged our hotel accommodations and transportation to/from the airport. We were completely satisfied with everything."

"My trip was the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, Oct 2023. The balloon fiesta was fabulous. Mike the driver was awesome. Our tour manager Jolie started out great, however, as the days passed she encourage travelers to go off on their own which changed the touring times for everyone else. The last day was a disaster, one lady was left behind because Jolie didn't do a head count. More stops were added so other people could leave the tour and go places on their own. Twice in the afternoon Jolie lost track of how many people were on the bus, she told customers to look around and report if someone was missing. She laughed on the bus intercom about how she didn't know how many people should be on the bus. A Mayflower rep stated that she was a favorite manager so nothing would be done. Most of these tours are attended by seniors, we need responsable employees to keep track of who is on the bus and who is not. She encouraged travelers to leave the tour and lost the ability to keep track of customers. Reckless..."
