TEP deserves more than 5 stars for the amazing start to finish service we experienced on our 7 day…read moreadventure to Peru to hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. From the time we signed up, to the time we boarded the plane to return home, TEP took care of every detail. We commented amongst ourselves that we felt like kids on vacation with our parents, as we didn't have to worry about any of the details - just show up and follow Neptali (our guide). From airport pickup in Cusco in luxury Mercedes vans where we were promptly served Coca tea to help with the altitude acclimation, to group dinners at amazing Peruvian restaurants, to historical tours and education on the history of the Inca - everything was covered and taken care of for us. And that was all before the amazing trek along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu! Of course the trek itself was the highlight of the trip, and although it was extremely challenging for us, TEP's unbelievable attention to detail did not fail us on the trail. With nearly a 2:1 porter to trekker ration, our every need was met on the trail. We dined like kings every meal, and were consistently amazed with the quality (and nutritional appropriateness) of the food our chef and sous chef were able to put out with minimal kitchen conveniences. The thing I felt was most special about TEP's approach to this trip was the focus on gaining a cultural and historical appreciation for what we were experiencing. Every step along the way, we learned about the native people of Peru, the Inca civilization, the many ruins we came across, the vegetation we saw and how it was and is used, and the history of modern Peru. It was the trip of a lifetime, and have the help of The Explorer's Passage made it so much more enjoyable, and so much more memorable. The value of what they provide is amazing for the cost....rather, for the investment. I highly recommend them!

Hired Karin to provide both a NYC tour and serve as a German translator when needed. Fortunately,…read morewe didn't need her to translate as much as we had anticipated, so the tour was mostly in English. We had Karin for about 5 hours and what a treat. Her knowledge of NYC history, current events, hidden gems and navigation allowed us to cover an extraordinary amount of ground in such a short time. I felt like I had spent 3 days touring by the time we were finished. We did a combination of driving and walking which was the best. I highly recommend Karin!

I found the Gotham City Tours photo tour through Central Park on the Groupon website and I am so glad I did. I recommend this tour and this company to EVERYONE going to New York. The staff is easy to reach with questions via phone,email, and is exceptionally courteous and professional. We met with Luke, our personal tour guide and photographer, on a chilly December day. He was fantastic! He made us feels comfortable and, as my then boyfriend (now husband) and I walked through Central Park, Luke snapped over 150 amazing professional photos. Some of us just doing what we do...walking and holding hands, laughing and talking. Other photos were of us in front of landmarks and historical fountains, statues, lakes, and in front of the architecture of NY. At the beginning of the tour, Luke took a few shots of us in front of the Plaza Hotel and told us that by the end of the tour we would know more about Central Park than NY natives. It was true, we tested some NYers in the bars later. It's hard to choose which is the best part of our experience with Gotham City Tours because it truly was amazing. Unlike other places that take professional photos, Gotham City Tours takes all the photos, and emails them all to you. You aren't made to choose a few out of the over 100 that they take and then charged for them. Every single picture is yours! It's been almost a year since we went to NY and we still love our pictures. Two days later, we got engaged, and our photos and our memories from our time in Central Park are even more special. There is so much to do in New York, especially around the holidays. I think it would be a great photo opportunity for families, friends and couples alike. Thanks again!! We will be back.

I can't wait for my next trip to take another walking tour with this tour company. Onel is knowledgeable, personable, engaging, humorous, thoughtful and kept us on time! He knew exactly where to stop for photo ops and gave us plenty of time for them - I appreciated the scheduled bathroom break at clean bathrooms and the stop for drinks/snacks at the most perfect grocery store that I wish was in my neighborhood. The tour ended at lunchtime in the perfect location with several food options as well as close to both the ferry and trains for the return commute to Manhattan. I highly recommend this walking tour with Onel as your guide - you won't regret it!

It was a very interesting and fun tour. There are also 3 trails available that you can walk after the tour if you choose to do so ranging in difficulty. I deducted a star because this particular tour is not accessible for everyone especially the elderly or anyone who may have issues with their balance and/or mobility. I think they should reconsider because the terrain could be incredibly challenging. Even though it is briefly mentioned on their website I still believe this point should be more clearly emphasized or explained.

Mr. Joseph Massaro had purchased Petra Island for $700,000 in 1996. Frank Lloyd Wright designed a house that Joseph Massaro built. There's a guest house (The Chahroudi Cottage) and the Main house (The Massaro House). The Massaro House is built around a 12-foot-high, 60-foot-long boulder that forms the exterior of the entry and an interior wall. A smaller rock is also used as a wall in the kitchen and bathroom. During our visit, we had the pleasure of meeting Barbara Massaro the wife of the owner. The Frank Lloyd Wright design (The Massaro House) is a special day outing. It's $150 pp. but definitely worth it. Hope you enjoy the photos from my visit. A restroom is available on the Island, after the boat tour. On the dock, there's a designated parking area for Petra Island Tours.
