What travelers are saying

"I was very disappointed with the unfriendly and dictatorial chief guide during my experience. When I disclosed that I had started taking Diamox, he humiliated me by criticizing its use and claiming that doctors were completely wrong. He insisted that I must reduce the dosage. Despite advertising the Rainier climb as suitable for novice climbers with little or no previous experience, the guides were very strict with their timing. If you were even slightly behind while hiking to Camp Muir, let's say by 15 minutes, the guides would repeatedly tell you that "you are not going to make it." They enforced stringent rules and showed no flexibility whatsoever. Their constant demotivating messages left me discouraged, and as a result, I decided to drop out. Furthermore, their rigidity extended to gear as well. It seemed like they were more motivated to steer people towards renting their gear."

What travelers are saying

"I loved this trip . The Tucano is a great little ship, and if the weather's good you can eat out on the top deck and watch the river and rain forest go by. The guides were terrific -- they knew the area well, and could tell you about the use of medicinal plants or even take you piranha fishing. There were plenty of opportunities to go on shore and occasionally we'd visit an isolated village. My only disappointment was that it's hard to spot wildlife, though we did see some of the famous pink dolphins, heard plenty of howler monkeys, and, at night, spotted some sloths in the tree by spotlight."

"Personalized planning service from the company about what to expect, daily excursions, flights, and packing. The tour guides are the best in the business, and travelers have amazing experiences.

"They are just great!!! They have a no-nonsense ambience. The Dormitory is adequate, very clean and comfortable. The food was very tasty, homely and had a good variety. The activities catered to our satisfaction. They are provided with lots of patience. Every staff member is so friendly and they ensure that you enjoy the outing. We were a family with people from all are groups. They took care of every individual needs. Our aged mother was made very comfortable, and they arranged a chair for her at every activity area. We spent almost two days and one night. And we enjoyed every moment. If one is looking for a good outing, this is the place. Total value for money. Above all it's the passion of the staff that makes them better than most places around Bangalore."

What travelers are saying

"Our Azores trip was excellent except for a bit of rain :-); The volcano hikes were spectacular and the side trip notes were very helpful. Doing the volcano hikes was fantastic, especially being high enough to see the Atlantic Ocean to the south and the north, beautiful! We also enjoyed the beach walks and walking to town from our hotel, Santa Barbara Eco Hotel. We stayed at the Santa Barbara Eco Hotel which was excellent. The room, property, pool and spa and services were all excellent. We enjoyed meals everyday at their restaurant which where all excellent. A very relaxing and restful and comfortable hotel. The restaurant at the Santa Barbara Eco Hotel is excellent as is there sister property, The White House, were we enjoyed a spectacular sunset and dinner one night. Your selection of this company “Singular Resorts” is a very good choice. We have been using Intura Travel / Walk Inn Provence since 2014 and will use you again in the future. I have recommended you to family and friends and will continue to do so. You have excellent information and support for travelers. Fantastic trip to the Azores, it was a highlight of our vacation to Portugal."

"Have just returned from an incredible time travelling in South Africa with Adventure World. The itinerary they suggested as a first time visitor was perfect and all our tours/transfers worked like clockwork. Absolutely loved Cape Town and the winelands but the highlight of the trip was definitely Kruger National Park – stunning lodges and safari was just magic! Can’t wait to go back…"
