What a wonderful tour we had with this lady. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Love the way she sprinkled personal family history and stories. Two hours went by very fast! If you wish to learn the history and architecture of the city I would recommend taking this tour.
Recently, we went on a ski trip to Manning Park, provided by Into the Wild, as a group of over 30 university students. It was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Our tour guide, Paul, with his easy-going and friendly disposition, instantly put everyone at ease. He was also very easy to talk to, and any last-minute changes were not a problem at all. Despite the size of our group, Paul effortlessly managed to create a warm and inclusive atmosphere, ensuring that each participant felt valued and looked after throughout the journey. Whether it was providing guidance on the slopes or offering assistance with equipment, Paul was always there to help. Highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a top-notch travel adventure! Our ski trip was an unforgettable adventure filled with laughter, camaraderie, and a cherished memories for all of us. Thank you Paul :)
Our GAA Club organized a club ski trip through Paul and his service was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped onto the bus en route to Sun Peaks to the moment we landed home back in Vancouver, it was brilliant. If anyone is looking to organize a trip, Paul is your best option.
Our football team recently had the pleasure of going on a weekend ski/snowboard tour to Sun Peaks, led by the exceptional guide, Paul, from "Into the Wild." The entire experience was nothing short of incredible, and I feel compelled to share my positive experience with others.

From the outset, Paul showcased an unparalleled level of knowledge and professionalism throughout the tour. His expertise in guiding us through the ski tour, along with his attention to detail, made the entire trip seamless and enjoyable.

What truly sets "Into the Wild" apart is not just their ability to check all the boxes on paper for their professional competence, but the personal touches and geniune passion that they bring to the experience. It's evident that they go above and beyond to ensure every participant has an amazing time.

If you're seeking an adventure with a touch of excellence, knowledge, and passion, look no further than Into the Wild. They've truly set the bar high, and I can't recommend them enough.

Thank you Into the Wild for an unforgettable weekend!
These beautiful women coordinate amazing trips to gorgeous places! I recently participated in an all-women surf and yoga retreat in El Salvador and it was such an amazing experience. I felt supported, safe, and most of all, I had a BLAST!! I plan to travel with Finisterra again in the future.
The El Salvador Surf Camp was absolutely amazing! The whole process was easy, reliable, and seamless. Keri & Nicole are great communicators and answered all my pre-trip questions fast and thoroughly. They even recommended a ton of helpful info as we went a few days ahead of the camp. As for the camp itself, it is perfect. The rooms were lovely and big, the resort was beautiful, and the beach was so perfect. It was practically empty and the waves were perfect for beginners. The instructors were so helpful and the food was great. I HIGHLY recommend this experience, it's perfect for solo travelers, beginner surfers, and anyone looking for a great travel experience.
It was our first time in Quebec! The walking tour was enjoyable even during winter (but do dress warmly including wearing mittens and touque)! Christian was a fantastic guide who had so much knowledge and passion about Quebec’s history & culture to share. He makes learning interesting, funny and not boring at all. We learnt about the architecture, political history, and even places to dine at / visit! Highly recommend the walking tour to better appreciate Quebec!
My wife and I are avid cyclists and have done over 25 trips across Europe, North America and Chile. We did our first trip with Randonnee (Great Explorations sister company for self guided trips) many years ago, and most recently did their Classic group trip in Turkey. We are hooked ! Their attention to detail, amazing routes, great accommodation and unrelenting focus on customer satisfaction is outstanding. What fabulous experiences, excellent value and great people ! We can’t recommend them more highly, and have already reserved our trips for 2024 😀.
This company is truly amazing. My husband and I went on a trip with them 20 years ago for our honeymoon. We finally were able to go on another bike trip for our 20th anniversary. Best vacations we ever had. Our friends who are not bikers came with us and had an amazing time. The hotels are amazing with most having pools to swim in after riding, meals are yummy. Plan to go again soon.
My husband and I have enjoyed two self guided hiking trips with Randonnée in the last two years, one in the Dordogne Valley of France and then, this September, in Ireland. From start to finish, both trips were well organized and thought out with clear route instructions ( both print and electronic) and helpful area managers and guides to keep us on track! The accommodations are definitely a reason we used Randonnée a second time: every spot we have stayed has been awesome - charming, and authentic. Our biggest shout out goes to the Randonnée staff who are always available to answer your questions while preparing for the trip.
We would definitely use Randonnée again.
Where to start... we did the 2 pm watch, which had 12 people but plenty of room on the boat. We saw bald eagles, seals, porpoises, and, of course, whales. Brandon was our captain and did a great job. They provide you with the safety suit to wear. The boat ride was worth the money we spent. The whales were the icing for us.
This is an excellent park, we were walking around here and about to go into a house when we realised we had to pay! There is a fee to explore this area but it’s a small fee which gives you a lot to look at. There is a lot of places to see and to learn if you are into this sort of history. We loved the views of the city from the different areas above.

No worries. That’s what you have to look forward to when you book a trip with Jason and his team at Downunder Travel. Our family of four took a once-in-a-lifetime trip for almost six weeks to Australia and New Zealand and not only did Jason (patiently!) personalize a tour that took our young boys’ and my husband’s and my interests and tastes and budget in mind, but he recommended some truly memorable experiences I would never have chosen on my own. There were many gems in both countries that we will forever look back on fondly.

We stayed in 11 locations and airport transfers eliminated the normal stress of getting to and from the airport. His teams on the ground in Australia and New Zealand were contactable 24/7 and it gave me great comfort to be able to rely on them to take care of any contingency when needed. Thank you again Jason for creating such an absolutely special and unforgettable trip for us!
If anyone wants to go Whale watching, I highly recommend doing it by Zodiac boat and this company offered it and decided to try it out. We dressed in floatation suits to keep warm and safe and even though it was a hot day, out there, the winds were cold and kept us warm. Had 9 people, 10 including the captain which was good. Everyone is close to each other so if someone isn't into that, this boat ride isn't for you. The boat was super fast getting which was exhilarating and fun, but felt safe. The captain told us tidbits of the marine life, the islands, and other general information. He answered all the questions we had. There were other bigger boats but the zodiac easily and quickly maneuvered to spots. Saw harbour seals, purposes, and mink whales. Unforgettable experience and thank you to the captain that kept us all safe and having a great time.
4 of us completed the 8 day Normandy bike trip and were thrilled with every aspect of the tour. Randonnee prepared us before the trip with detailed itineraries, preparation suggestions and route maps to download so there was no need to use data. The accomodations were diverse and lovely, and in perfect locations to explore our surroundings. The Normandy area is filled with WW1 & WW 2 history and the route we followed covered so many highlights. The bikes were great for all of us, 2 ebikes and 2 hybrids to meet our needs. We would certainly choose Randonnee again for a cycle trip.
A must do experience if visiting Quebec City. We loved interacting with the historical character actors and even had tea with the British commander's wife. Great value and a lovely memory.
We recently had Jason arrange a trip to Fiji for us. Everything ran like clockwork (even though we were on Fiji time 😀).

Once we told Jason the type of holiday we were looking for, he managed to ensure all our needs were met.

We highly recommend Downunder Travel, and would use them again.
The El Salvador surf and yoga retreat planned by Finisterra with Surf Sister was absolutely amazing! Keri did such a fantastic job planning an incredible and super well-organized trip with great local stops and so much wonderful surfing and yoga. Highly recommend for your next adventure!!
Once again Jason did a terrific jog at organizing and booking our three week anniversary vacation in Australia. No problems, no issues the work by Jason was flawless. Jason was good enough to speak to his contact for the Indian Pacific and they announced our wedding anniversary during supper and supplied us with a cake and presents during our meal. Both Eileen and I were extremely happy with our vacation thanks to the hard work by Jason at Down Under Travel
Had a very enjoyable and insightful mural walking tour of Mount Pleasant with wonderful guide Jayne! She was very knowledgeable about each of the murals we’d viewed, along with the back stories of the artists, their visions and methods for crafting their art, as well as how the art ties in with the local culture and society of the time.

I’ve been a resident of Mount Pleasant/Olympic Village and hadn’t even seen most of the murals Jayne showed us - I was pleasantly surprised and amazed at all the street art we *don’t* see along the main streets!

Highly recommend, 5 stars!
We absolutely loved this historical tour of Quebec! Our tour guide, Carole, was the most upbeat, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide we’ve ever had. She made us feel like we were transported into the late 1800s Quebec. We so enjoyed our 2 1/2 hour tour (she gave us an extra half hour). Highly recommend!
Amazing tour of the bay of Fundy, seen some whales and sea lions !! Our captain was very knowledgeable about the different species. we also got to see some of the fisheries around the area , which our captain stopped to educate us about. It was an amazing experience!
Had a great time here, only 8.5 bucks for an adult pass. Very interesting historical landmarks, impressive scale models, and cool preserved artifacts. The on-site guides and actors were fun and informative, with a bunch of great anecdotes and also local recommendations!
My partner and I did a Vancouver Mural Festival tour through Mount Pleasant last week and we loved it. Jayne was our tour guide and she was wonderful! We were so impressed with how much knowledge she was able to retain about all of the different artists and murals. Her delivery was great and she made it a lot of fun. Absolutely recommend this tour to everyone! We wish we got to do the other ones as well! Looking forward to next years.
We saw Juggle Me Not in the park in 2021. It was absolutely fabulous, bursting with humour and energy. Thanks Axis!
Very good tour! Honest and blatant about all aspects of the history of Vancouver, even the unpleasant and embarrassing parts, which was refreshing. Erik was knowledgeable and friendly and I felt like I got a crash course on the city in a few hours.
We have had the opportunity to take several cycling trips in various countries with Great Explorations. The company does a wonderful job of arranging for guides who are knowledgeable and personable, and the trips are designed to provide the clients with wonderful cycling routes, unique ways to experience cultures and the country, amazing food, and beautiful places to stay. Some of my favorite traveling memories are from Great Explorations cycling trips, and I hope to add more cycling trips with them to the list in the years to come.
We did our first self guided hike with Randonnee Tours in 1997 and, since then, we have taken Randonnee's walking tours in Italy, France, Nova Scotia, the Czech Republic and, most recently, Spain. On these tours, we have stayed in interesting and charming towns, many of which are not on the normal tourist route. Randonnee's hotel choices consistently have offered us great locations, lovely accommodations and helpful services. The hikes have taken us through farmland, along coastlines, into forests and past castles, villas and towns.

We just completed the 8 day hike in Catalonia. This tour gave us everything we have liked about past Randonnee trips in terms of locations, accommodations and hikes. The coastal scenery was breathtaking - as good as or better than Cinque Terra and without the crowds. Every one of our hotels was outstanding - we enjoyed beautiful, spacious rooms with great views, generous and varied breakfasts and wonderful hospitality. The food throughout Catalonia was some of the best we've ever eaten - we found great restaurants everywhere and the hotel restaurants were especially good. Our visit to Salvador Dali's house near Cadaques was a real highlight. This trip definitely ranks as one of our favorites.

Overall, we feel Randonnee's tours are a good value and have allowed us to visit many places which we would not have found on our own. We are already looking ahead to next year's trip.
