Wilderness Travel Reviews 

Many wonderful trips over almost 20 years.
Highly recommended!

We have traveled 4 times with WT, and several times with competitors. If they have a trip where we want to go, we choose WT. Their guides are uniformly good, their trips are well-planned, the office support is very good, and, for whatever reason, we find that they draw a consistently great group of fellow travelers.

We have been on multiple trips with Wilderness Travel and have always had great experiences. The guides are knowledgeable, friendly and go out of their way to make sure your trip goes smoothly. Many of our trips have been centered around hiking and we've always felt the itineraries were well thought out and appropriately challenging.

Family members have used Wilderness Travel multiple times and have nothing but great reviews of their trips. This was my first organized trip and it was indescribably amazing! I wouldn't change a thing!

Perfect trip for me and my teenage grandchildren. Excellent staff and service

WT is always the company we trust when we do group travel. Our experience is that we get the best guides and the best accommodations the country has to offer, and very experienced trip leaders. I recommend WT to anyone who asks for a recommendation.

Great travel company! Awesome and knowledgeable leaders. They pay attention to, and take care of, all the details to make for a relaxing and enjoyable trip. A true vacation!!!

I have traveled with Wilderness Travel (WT) a number of times. They are, simply, the best. From interactions with the Berkeley staff at the very beginning of planning a trip to the trip itinerary to the exceptional leaders, the WT experience is extraordinary. I’ve done cultural trips rated level 1 and hiking trips rated level 3; all have had incredible accommodations and have provided a wide range of experiences that would have been difficult, if not impossible, to arrange independently. The value received from traveling with WT leaders is incalculable. Their knowledge, insights, good humor and caring are what make a WT trip. I learn more, see more and experience more during a one week tour with WT than I would in two months of independent travel . . . and I’m good at and enjoy independent travel!

Fantastic trip, great guides, beautiful countryside, iconic villages. A very memorable trip with great people.

We recently took our fifth trip — all of which were spectacular. The planning and arrangements were flawless, and our guides were knowledgeable and passionate about the trip. We will definitely be back.

Wilderness travel never lets you down! Even after I booked twice (Tanzania & Adriatic) they always answered my endless questions! It’s a “hands on” down to earth travel company. Always met the most intelligent people from around the globe!

We traveled to the Galapagos for a 15-day cruise among the islands aboard the three-masted schooner "Mary Anne" . Everything about the trip was amazing. Wilderness Travel coordinated and arranged all details, which were flawless. They were also helpful in arranging additional stay for us prior to the group arrangements. They were always available to answer questions. Truly excellent!

Excellent organization, service, trips

Had 4 excellent trips and plan more in the future. We've had uniformly great guides. The itineraries hit our sweet spot of challenging hiking trips for a sufficient period of time to really experience an area, and combined where feasible with great cultural opportunities. The accommodations and meals are generally very nice, not opulent, but supports a very good value proposition. Staff are always very knowledgeable and helpful. Bottom line, a great company.

Fun, knowledgeable, experienced leaders showcase a variety of locations. On WT trips, we hike challenging trails, enjoy and learn about the culture of the area and eat/ drink fabulous food and beverages. Can’t go wrong with WT.

There are not enough stars to indicate how happy we are with Wilderness travel. We have experienced wonderful support in the planning and arranging of our trips and the most amazing journeys imaginable. Wilderness Travel and their people are second to none.

6 trips - all outstanding

All of our trips with Wilderness Travel have been beyond superb! The itineraries are laid out thoughtfully and the descriptions of trips are spot on. All of out guides have been excellent, over a variety of trips. We have had adventures we never would have even considered without Wilderness Travel's expertise.

Wilderness Travel does an outstanding job with itineraries and permanent guides. With any travel company the first time you use them you are not sure what you are going to get. We had heard good things about Wilderness Travel and our first trip with them confirmed the favorable comments. We have travelled with them twice and signed up for a third adventure early next year. They are not the cheapest offering but we like what they provide.

Which are great itineraries, great permanent guide staffs, great accommodations, and wonderful food from wherever you are in the world.

Regardless of your planned trip the weather can impact the guides ability to follow an exact itinerary. On both of our previous trips, when foul weather prevented the exact itinerary execution the guides had excellent back-up plans that helped make the most of the bad situation.

The office trip planning and support staff are very good at helping you plan/pick the right trip for you.
