Classic Journeys and its guides make the travel experience personal. We have just returned from our family “group” trip to Iceland. Our guide, Atli, gauged our families’ preferences and capabilities quickly, was flexible with every participant regardless of age, made each of our adventures special. Each of the “local” guides assigned to us during various activities were the same … respectful of and flexible with each person in our group, answering questions, ensuring our safety during adventure portions of the trip. All of us felt like we had a very unique experience in Iceland. It’s why I keep coming back to Classic Journeys to organize our trips. Thank you!

Our guide Len was fantastic! The restaurants were way above our expectations and the hiking in Quebec was so beautiful!

The guides and organization of everything. Nice variety.

What a fantastic trip. Everything so well planned out, accommodations were first rate. Our guide, Marco, was knowledgeable and informative everywhere we went and he added so much to the experience. This was my second tour with Classic Journeys and I look forward to another one.

Our guide was amazing and set up local experiences with people she knew to make pasta, taste olive oils, eat a traditional dinner. We traveled in a private car or on boats. We stayed in two great hotels and one nice but not as special. We saw three different parts of the country and learned so much about the history of Croatia. I highly recommend this tour

Had a great time in Greece. We had wonderful guides and amazing hikes. We went to a small olive oil company and tasted their olive oils, ate lunch at a farm outside and had the most wonderful Greek foods and visited a monastery where we had lunch. Our guides were very knowledgeable about the history of the islands and also a lot of fun.

I’ve had two trips with classic journeys. My second most recent one was to Italy and it was amazing. It hit many highlights that I was hoping to see as well as hidden treasures. I did the Venice, Florence and Rome trip and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to see beautiful art, small villages and experience great food. Our guides were both extremely knowledgeable and engaging. The places we stayed were beautiful and comfortable. I can’t wait for my next trip.

Marco was the perfect guide ensuring everyone was comfortable and everything ran smoothly. He shared a wealth of knowledge of archeology, local culture, food, plants, animals, mountains, and waterways. We saw wonderful Inca sites and beautiful scenery. Truly a great trip.

Diane and Conrad were outstanding. Lots of different personalities on the trip and they did a great job working with everyone. Some were disappointed the sun came up each day. But we were really fortunate to have such first rate guides. Trip was a Great mixture of nature history culture and exercise. Would love to see those two again in the future.

The tour group was smaller than expected- a real plus; the guide was exceptional! The schedule jammed packed and the accommodations first class.

Ida & Luciano were exceptional tour guides.. They were very professional, very helpful, very knowledgeable about Sardinia & Corsica & they made sure that everyone was properly taken care of and having a good time!
The hiking was GREAT.. Beautiful and interesting places to see and enjoy! The meals and hotels were
exceptional..
The only negative was that there was too much bus
travel. Although, I understand that in order to see the important sights we had to get to them somehow, and there were great distances between them.

The two guides, Margaret and Diane were fantastic! Engaging and funny and so knowledgeable. We consider them freinds now. Our small group experience (16) meant we could get a lot accomplished without waiting for a busload of people to get on/get off (or get it together). The Cotswolds "stops" were very well chosen (Burford, Bibury, Stow on the Wold, Oxford, Bath) and also all the smaller stops along the way. The walking sites were magical and just the right amount in my opinion. Our picnic was so much fun and lots of thought went into making it a success. The cheese specialists that presented was icing on the cake. Our Baking class with Susan was so much fun and we learned a lot (and ate delicious scones, Victoria cake, etc) for days! Stonehenge was a dream come true and we basically has the place to ourselves which was well planned by our guides. The hotels were incredible as well as all the meals provided. The gardens we visited as well as Blenheim castle were fun days. I'm forgetting 100 fun things along the way we did. Tony the bus driver was so accommodating and fun to interact with as well. We felt we were in great hands with Tony! The overall booking process was easy and communicating with our coordinator was perfect. We will definitely book another adventure with Classic Journeys!

The villages and vineyards of Provo was an amazing tour. This was our first time traveling with CLASSIC JOURNEYS and the tour exceeded our expectations. Our guide Isabelle was phenomenal and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the tour. We’re already looking forward to signing up for another. Fantastic lodging, wonderful experiences, and great food all made for an amazing memorable trip.

Great travel experience. Well organized walking tours in the backroads and visits to beautiful sites. Hotels are great. Transportation and guides are first class.

Our trip to the Galapagos was amazing. From the excursions, the people and the guidance of Cesar it all was seamless. Cesar had such and amazing grasp of knowledge regarding the wildlife, history and culture of his country that it was truly like being in a classroom. We would recommend Classic Journeys to anyone!

A trip of a lifetime! Our guides were superb, hotels were 5 stars+! Fabulous transportation! The walking and activities outstanding!! Small group was lovely to be able to get to know everyone! I’ll be back

This Galapagos trip was one of my dreams. Classic Journey's their staff and our guide Cedar Romero were in partnership with a most precious and spectacular archipelago to deliver just that. The itinerary was a marvelous balance of physical activity and learning. Each day was packed, engaging in walking, snorkeling or kayaking, and learning the natural history, the cultural history, and gaining insights into life on the islands. The hotels were first-rate, with incredible views, and wonderful end-of-the-day comfort. Our group bonded from the beginning allowing us to process our shared experiences, enjoy the fun together and support one another during the activities. We all agreed on how fortunate we were to have this amazing Classic Journeys experience.

Many interesting things were included on the trip...the spa, horseback riding, glacier walk, etc. Our guide was knowlegable about the history, geology, flora and fauna. He remarked that Iceland is doesn't have good signage and we discovered that is true. We travelled at the perfect time of year: not cold, lupin and greenery was gorgeous and with spring melting the waterfalls were amazing. Icelandic food has come a long way. Everyone we met, native or temporary workers, were very friendly and helpful.

Our guides were outstanding! As was our driver, Tony. Always had water always on time. It was perfect. The accommodations were great and the arranged meals were wonderful. We had some weather walking through the coils, but it was easy to navigate and Diane and Margaret were always willing to walk a little extra with anyone that wanted to. Baking with Susie was awesome and it was all in all just a wonderful wonderful time. Great mix of countryside, walking, sightseeing, history and culture.
