Global Basecamps

What a great experience with Global Basecamps. We used them for 2 trips to Africa and they were both amazing. Every detail was taken care of and nothing was missed. Follow up and communication is awesome. They are certainly travel experts.

Global Basecamps planned an incredible trip for our family to the Galapagos Islands and Mainland Ecuador. The itinerary was fantastic and the experiences were authentic and special. We swam with white tipped reef sharks, kayaked, snorkeled with sea lions, and thoroughly enjoyed our time in The Galapagos. We had a great stay in the treehouses at Galapagos Magic and enjoyed a couple nights by the water at Finch Bay. Our trip on the mainland included visits to Guayaquil, Cuenca, Quito, and Zuleta. Highlights included the drive from Guayaquil to Cuenca (with a beautiful hike in Cajas National Park en route) and our time in Zuleta. Zuleta was magical - the setting was gorgeous. The Global Basecamps team was amazing pre-trip and throughout our trip - we were very appreciative for all that they did to make our trip perfect.

We had a fabulous time on our 14 day trip to Japan in February 2020!  Laura Roundy + team planned it all.  My challenge was "where do I start?"  This trip was myself and my 22 year old daughter.  We didn't want to be hauled around with a group of people yet we wanted some guidance, too.  Plus I didn't research a lot about Japan (as the trip was my daughter's idea) so I was relying on Laura to lead the way.  We went over budget, # of days, things to explore, # of cities to see and more.  Then we started to narrow things down.  We had 3 days of a one-on-one guide (THE way to go!) and the rest was free time. HOWEVER, the free time was VERY organized with pre-planned activities and places to go. Laura served up ideas, I selected and she planned it.  I told her it was like I had a 'fast pass' to Japan.  It was nice to have tickets ready, train and subway passes, a day-by-day booklet and info on each place we visited. Our activities included:  meditation with a monk, a formal tea ceremony, dressing in kimonos and education and a food tour.  That was plenty.  Japan in February - the weather was fabulous, faster time getting around, limited crowds - the cherry blossoms happen a little later but the 'no crowds' was worth it.  The other days, again, were opened yet planned so it was a great balance.  Thanks again for the incredible trip and memories with my daughter that will last a lifetime!
