As we are a worldwide tour operator, it stands to reason our posts will be mainly about travel. And as a tour leader, it is my (Judy's) passion to write a daily journal whenever I travel, which could be on an escorted tour with clients or occasionally on an inspection trip on my own. These are undertaken before we introduce a new destination, to make sure we include all the best places and activities for our clients.  In 2017, I combined an inspection trip in Argentina and Peru with an escorted tour in Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands.

25 years is a long time to be in any business, and there are countless wonderful memories. There is a disadvantage, however - when we started, there was no Internet, no e-mail, no social media, no blogging!

But we must have done something right because many of our clients from those early days are still traveling with us to-day! We have taken escorted tours to many countries across the globe, from Ecuador and Galapagos, to Peru, Chile, Brazil and on to Europe where we have cruised extensively, then to Turkey, Croatia, Russia,  China, Vietnam, Bali.............and beyond.   Kicker Rock, Galapagos at sunset Drifting in the Amazon Istanbul, Turkey
