The guides were outstanding! Also loved that I didn’t have to worry about luggage or logistics or anything like that.

Loved our driver too

Ulysses was terrific and the hotels were spectacular. My only negative comment is regarding timing. Two hours on our own, followed by a long walk, seemed excessive. I would prefer most activity early in the day and (if appropriate) the independent time later. We certainly got used to the schedule, though, and it didn't reduce the number of stars.

Asdis is awesome!

Everything that was explained in the brochure and prior to leaving with the US-based team was accurate. Everyone that we met by phone and in person were caring, warm. knowledgable and friendly.

It was a great trip. But the itinerary had changed since I had originally signed up so a few things were missing. I realized that this could happen, and thoroughly enjoyed the guide and his cohorts. All the sights that we went to were fun and unique and the accommodations were all top drawer.

An amazing experience! Our guide,Eric, was fabulous. We got even more adventures than the brochure suggested.

The country was beautiful, dynamic and almost "other worldly, but I wish we could have seen a little more of it. That being said, there is nothing on the trip I would want to give up so I guess I will just need to go back and stay longer. The people on the trip were amazing and we had such incredible bonding experiences.
We did have a bit of a scare the day one of the ladies in our group fell from her horse and left in an ambulance with a fractured pelvis. That is always a risk you take, but it a rocky way to begin the week. (Especially for her!)

I love Biology, animals, evolution etc., and I'd thought about what it would be like to experience the Galapagos Islands after all I'd read about them over my life.
'Classic Journeys' took me exactly where I wanted to be. The Guides were very knowledgeable and made an effort to make sure everyone on the trip got individual attention towards making it a profound personal experience. The accommodations and food were top shelf. I give the trip an A++ rating. Very memorable!

We had a wonderful experience. Our tour guides, Ulisse and Sergio were excellent. We learned so much from them. The accommodations were excellent. The cave hotel was beautiful, great food, well appointed rooms, etc. but smelled musty and this was bothersome by the second night. Our meals everywhere were excellent and we loved participating in the meal prep at the cheese farm. The hikes were beautiful and not too difficult. The choice of cities on the tour was great. Our only disappointment was that, for the price of the tour, transfers were not included. Our cost to taxi from Brinidisi to Lecce was 80 Euros. The cost to return (which was arranged by the hotel) was 120 Euros. That aside, we had a fabulous experience and I absolutely would recommend Classic Journeys and hope to travel with them again.

My husband and I toured Scotland with this company. There were 17 in our group. The literature states average group size is <10. We had one bus rather than 2 small vans. The guides were excellent, but 2 of the 3 hotels provided rooms that were old and run down. The tour cancelled a trip to the textile factory the night before it was to occur with no notice to travellers. The sheepherding demo was poor. Then the boat trip to view puffins was cancelled. We have travelled with several other tour groups such as Wilderness Travel, World Affairs, Backroads. This tour company IS NOT COMPARABLE to them!

Wonderful cultural experience. We spent a lot of time with local people - having tea and bread (their custom) and learning about how they live. Morocco is a beautiful country and we got to see a lot of it. Cities, farms, mountains, desert. Our guide was fantastic. Very accomodating and paid attention to what we were interested in seeing/learning about on the trip.

Our guides were excellent. They were very knowledgeable about the canyons we visited, they were responsive to the needs of the participants, they prepared us well for our activities of the day, they took good care of people who needed help, and the lodging was excellent. I have never been to a place more beautiful than the canyons we visited--maybe they were the most beautiful places I have been, or at least tied for first. I cannot think of anything negative to say about them!

The place, the local guides, the ease of travel and accomadation. The tour bus

I loved the experience. The guide - Perri - was terrific. The trip was a nice mix of different adventures ... puffins on the Isle of May, a walk on the Old Course at St. Andrews, a visit with a working shepherd and his border collies, high tea in Edinburgh, a boat ride on Loch Ness, and lots of gorgeous walks.

We had a terrific time on Classic Journeys tour of Puglia. The route included some great walks, beautiful towns and local interactions. Hotels and food were perfect. Our leader Alessandro and driver Enzo were exceptional. They were engaging, flexible and adaptable. We will go again.

Excellent guides, unique lodging, wonderful dining experiences in addition to just enough walking experiences to categorize this adventure as a hiking trip

The entire tour was a memorable experience! Our guide Alessandro was exceptional in coordinating our daily activities while allowing time for exploring and shopping.

The lodgings and food experiences were also wonderful. My wife and I are grateful to have shared in this small group experience!

Guides were amazing. Took care of everything AND were knowledgable, funny, pleasant! etc

Isabelle was so lovely ;she guided our group with care and kindness.
She is extremely knowledgeable about all things Provence.

The walks were great and I loved the guides. I would have liked more free time some afternoons to explore the towns. We visited too many houses. The food was very good. Most of the hotels were good; however, the Cotswalds Hotel was unacceptable and a safety hazard and should never be used again! We cannot have members of our group experiencing water pouring through the light bulb in the bathroom ceiling and the light exploding - and the staff made a bad situation worse!! I loved the cooking class and the visit to Stonehenge!
