This was a supremely happy combination of guides and a driver who did way more than get us from here to there - an exceptionally nice bunch of travelers - a great itinerary - and even some very lovely Scottish weather. I could not have had a better time.

Very fine guides.

Mike Howell made the experience a truly great one! So full of knowledge combined with a great personality made for a fantastic vacation! We hope to cross paths with him again.

The marketing brochure for the Dolomites Cultural Walking Tour described walks as “easy to moderate”, over “country lanes or well maintained trails” with daily distance options according to a table provided. In fact, the walks were moderate to extremely challenging, trail surfaces were very rough and in some places ridiculously steep, and daily distance options were not offered. I showed the lead guide the table of daily distance options sent to me by Classic Journeys and she said “What is this?” The tour had only two guides for 17 clients.

Amenities, adventures, food all well planned out and day to day timetable very helpful. Also a great travel group!

Erik and our 6 person group(plus 9 more) enjoyed a fantastic trip to Iceland. We snorkeled, rode horses, hiked on a glacier, rode Zodiacs in Glacier Bay, saw waterfalls, ate delicious meals and on and on. Such a great trip!

The guides were great and the planning of the days was well done. The food was delicious. The size of the group was just right. It didn’t hurt that the weather was fabulous!

The tour guide, Michael, was very knowledgeable about the indigenous people, the history, the culture and food.

Good guides, beauscenery, good hotels, variety of experiences

Besides the beautiful scenery, and the wonderful stops along our journey, our guides, Diane and Julia were exceptional. Their knowledge of the area and history was amazing and just thoroughly added to the experience.

It was an excellent experience with the guides/

The tour itinerary was excellent. Our tour director Mike was outstanding and went above and beyond to meet every need.
Very classy organization

Eric our guide was awesome

From the beginning of the tour and the concise history of Quebec to the end, strawberry ice cream with fresh strawberries and freshly made fudge, the week-long trip was perfect. It was the right balance of hiking, learning about Quebec culture, whale watching (with four different whale species), multiple gourmet meals, a great group of fellow travelers, and our two exceptional guides. We couldn't have asked for a better trip.

I loved every minute of my trip! The smooth transitions, during traveling and hotels. The beautiful places we visited. Our guide, Michael was wonderful! - very upbeat, informed, and knowledgeable.
The restaurants and hotels were exceptional. I hope to go on another trip with this company, again!

A balanced mix of active walking, architecture, history, culture and local food experiences.
Our two very experienced guides, Diane and Julia, organized our daily activities to the point that the entire trip was orchestrated seamlessly. Classic Journeys does a great job of communicating from the point of booking right up until the trip takes place. All went very smoothly and was extremely enjoyable.

The trip was well architected with much variety. Our trip leader Atli and his company is an incredible asset for the Classic Journeys company. Accommodations and meals were exquisite. Cultural education was top-notch mainly due to Atli’s knowledge and
background.
The eclipse viewing setup was sublime. It was nice meeting other travelers and enjoying the experience together.
One negative comment is receiving instructions for packing bags and bag sizing the day we were leaving for the trip. That is way too late to be sending specifications for bag sizes. I wasn’t impacted, but my travel mate was. She chose to not address the newly-received requirements.
Overall, I will definitely consider Classic Journeys for my next adventure.

The most memorable experiences of traveling with Classic Journeys are because of this outstanding attribute: each destination is guided by local experts who provide a perspective of cultures and worldviews that one cannot appreciate as an outsider traveling by oneself.

This trip was amazing! Highly recommend

Classic Journeys structure is great. The business model of combining the athletics (walking/hiking) with the culture experiences (native guides) is wonderful. We did have a wonderful time and will be a repeat customer.
