Stay away! The hotels were fabulous, so I gave an extra star for that. We took the Classic Journeys trip to Southeast Asia and it was so poorly handled that all the participants were shocked, emailing and calling the company mid-trip and swore never to go one another one of their trips again. Poor to no communications, mediocre guides who didn't have the itinerary, no information on our internal flights, had to beg for the final itinerary before we left, are meals included or not?, the guides didn't know. I could go on and on. And it seemed as if Classic Journeys didn't even care ("we've never had a trip with issues before") or apologize. A small credit towards a future journey with a company you cannot trust, doesn't seem to cut it. This is not just me, every person in the group felt the same way.

Great guides Great guides, great accommodations for a family of 2 and a family of 11. 2 of us took the Amazon extension and didn't know what to expect....but it exceeded expectations with excellent guides into a jungle ride that was unlike anything I ever did. Warning...lots of walking through jungles is tough slogging. We joined the rest of our family in the Galapagos at the the airport in Quito and met our guide for the first time.....What a guy. A naturalist, sportsman, a gentleman and humorist. Our only glitch was with the original reservations...slow to respond to questions. But, it was worth it.

Would I go again with Classic Journeys??? Life changing! Alex our guide incredibly knowledgeable, caring and has a great sense of humor. If I needed a day to relax (and perhaps shop) it was totally encouraged and acceptable - Porto Fino amazing! The itinerary and hotels spot on! I’m ready to go back, maybe the Amalfi Coast!!! Don’t hesitate, book the guided trip now!!

The sights but the most significant… The sights but the most significant reason was our guide Katharina. She was simply amazing.

Costa Rica with Classic Journey's Very pleased with Classic Journey's. Our guide and driver were both outstanding (knowledgeable, friendly, flexible, and great at spotting wildlife). The properties, and rooms/suites were excellent. Included meals were, generally good to very good (especially breakfasts). Included activities, and options, generally, suited clients with varying physical capabilities and desires although some could have been better coordinated. Highlights were the thermal springs at Tabacon resort neat Arenal volcano, kayaking, the Pardor resort overlooking the ocean, and the wildlife (,monkeys, sloths, iguanas, crocs, and birds of many varieties).
