Our guides were amazing. Hotels were top notch. Great hikes with appropriate amount of downtime in the evenings. Recommend this trip to anyone looking to travel to Peru’s Sacred Valley.

The MTSobek experience is …so much more than walking the Camino. It is a cultural, historic, culinary and contemporary adventure across Northern Spain.

The MTSobek Camino experience was outstanding! The itinerary was well-paced to include the most scenic sections of the Camino Frances with overnight stays in charming, comfortable accommodations where local food and wine was served in abundance. Private afternoon tours were offered in major towns (San Sebastian, Burgos, Pamplona, Léon, and Santiago de Compostela) and wonderful stories and Spanish history shared daily by the trip leaders. It was truly a multi-dimensional adventure.

We loved the entire trip

We loved the entire trip! Ian Lewis was an outstanding lead guide. His knowledge of the area, the people, lodges, culture was extensive and he happily answered all of our questions. Amongst all of the members of our group we presented Ian with a few unexpected happenings and challenges. He always found a way to take care of our unexpected needs with a smile and in a way that did not cause any undue delays to the rest of the group. He maneuvered additional unexpected challenges due to local logistical changes with skill and efficiency. Ian and assistant guide, Juri, were top notch and a joy to travel with.

Exceptional Japan

This trip took us from the hustle and bustle of the big modern cities to slow pace of century old villages. Using the busses, trains and subways offered a real feeling for what everyday life is like in Japan. Each meal was an exciting exposure to beautifully displayed new foods for our consumption. The sites we visited gave us a deeper understanding of the history and culture of Japan. It is also cause for further study on my return home. The natural beauty of Japan, while on the hike, will remain in my heart for a long time. I feel lucky that I was able to participate in this exceptional trip.

Once in a lifetime in the Himalayas

A once-in-a-lifetime experience. The combination of stunning scenery and immersion in Himalayan culture was unmatched. Sanjeev was a fantastic guide, and all we had to do was enjoy the hike, the views, and each other's company. A true bucket-list experience.

Big Bend National Park

Beat my exceedingly high expectations…

Beat my exceedingly high expectations for the trip. It was seamlessly organized and led by really smart, kind, and fun guides. Kumano Kodo was a once in a lifetime experience. I’ve already recommended it to anyone who will listen.

A delightful week of day hikes and memorable villages

The trip delightfully exceeded my expectations: the diversity but relatedness of geography and cultural sensibilities of our hiking spots. Centering on villages and small town bases each day that were delightful, and so unlikely to experience outside of such a trip. Such pleasant accommodations and food! The expert and cordial leadership of our group leaders Roman and Ziva. And, the collegiality and warmth of the participants.

Fantastic 8 day adventure

Fantastic 8 day adventure! I can only use superlatives to describe my experience. Alisa and Stephen were superb in sharing the maximum experience in all of our stops. Anticipating the encouragement I may need and maximizing all of our park stops so that I experienced the most, they were totally sensitive as well as professional. Alisa regaled us with a magnificent albeit short, performance of an aria in The Narrows.! Her voice coupled with the acoustics made for a spiritual few moments. Thank you.

MT Sobek put together a fabulous custom trip for our small group, tailored to our taste and desired level of activity. The guides are local experts and know how to address every detail. Our Peruvian Guide, Nick Santander, handled the travel hiccups seamlessly and knew how to navigate and expedite around the crowds to give us a wonderful experience. He went out of his way to add the touches that would elevate our experience. We also enjoyed the expertise of Luis during the Galapagos segment of our trip. The office provided excellent support, finding storage for our bags and rearranging transfers. All in all, the team were experts in their field and customer service.

Exceeded our Expectations. This was our first trip with Mr. Sobek and we enjoyed every minute of it. The guides were both local and knowledgeable with our destinations and led our group of adventuring seniors with confidence and truly warm personalities. They adapted well to the changing weather conditions and helped create a wonderful team of travelers of different ages, skillsets and backgrounds. Well Done!

Hiking in the Dolomites

I highly recommend using MT Sobek for a hiking trip in the Dolomites. They arranged a private group trip for us on short notice and it exceeded my expectations. We had a highly qualified guide from the Dolomites who was with us throughout the trip. The accommodations, meals, and transportation were outstanding as was the customer service from MT Sobek. I will definitely be using MT Sobek for my next adventure!

Best Trip Ever!!

I have traveled extensively with other adventure group tours, and this was the best trip I have ever taken. It was meticulously planned and organized, with an amazing itinerary, and yet with lots of flexibility for each of the days so if Mother Nature gave us a gift, we could roll with it. All of the guides were the best I've ever had. They wanted my experience to be great.

Great experience and great customer service

MT Sobek did a great job of planning the trip and providing us with preparation documents such as packing lists. The guide Coline was top notch. She had much experience and shared her knowledge. Selected hotels and restaurants were wonderful choices. A great trip for all four of us, ages 31-63.
