What travelers are saying

"For me Outward Bound had entirely the opposite effect it hopes to. It left me doubting myself and with diminished sense of self worth. Due to all the talk of being strong and doing hard things and we can all do hard things etc, it made me blame myself. It wasn’t me. It was the experience."

"Why Trek to Everest Base Camp in 2022 Don't you think it's time to put on your shoes and pack up the bags to trek the Everest base camp, which is the land of real-life time adventure? Well, tourism is back with the greater smack of bounce back in 2022! Bye-bye to the dull old days of covid! Trekking to Everest base camp in 2022 can be the best option to re-explore the world, abandoning the virtual world's life within a corner of a room towards the nature's open field encircled with the majestic Himalayas, sherpa people, boundless flora, and fauna with the challenging and enticing routes. Travel is more complicating as of now than before. Borders seem to reopen after a long time. A once-simple visa on entry to the airport is replaced with piles of paperwork (Covid reports). And the whole world is even not sure when a new variant will make headlines. So start your journey as early as possible! Everything we will serve the same as before. Still, there are some essential things you must consider before trekking to Everest base camp in 2022, is don't forget to follow the traveling guidelines and new laws imposed by the Nepal government."

"Once in a lifetime trip today under the Golden Gate Bridge and to Farallon Island. We were lucky enough to see the rare sight of multiple bait balls with up to 8 humpback whales per ball, heaps of leaping sea lions and tonnes of seabirds! It’s advisable to take a boat sickness tablet before this trip as it gets very choppy and not enough seating for all on the trip. Multiple people were vomiting on our trip for a few hours including myself so please be warned! Totally worth the effort though this trip was incredible!"

First, let me say the customer service at Amtrak Vacations was incredible. Very responsive and quick to help. The train from Chicago to Salt Lake City was great. Ver...
