Fantastic adventure. Our guide, Adrian, was so knowledgeable, not just about Belize, her history and place in the world, but also the local ecology, economics, and news around the globe. That would be a tall order for anyone. However, Adrian added humor, kindness, patience and spunk. Our conversations in the car were one of the highlights of the trip. Our family agreed that the best days were snorkeling on Silk Caye with Go Sea Tours and the ATM cave journey. Our guide, Hector, with Maya Walk Tours which Charlie the Traveler arranged for us, was TOP notch. He exuded care for us in a very tricky expedition. Bless him. We were awestruck to have Dino with us at the Mayan ruins in Caracol and Xunantunich. How amazing it was to have an archeological expert to personally walk us through the ruins and bring all the politics and architecture of those time to life for us? Opened my eyes to a seldom studied society via the U.S. school system. We really are still Eurocentric in the classrooms of America. We particularly enjoyed Mahogany Bay Resort that Charlie recommended. We rented the family cabin and were able to cook all our own breakfasts and dinners. They supplied giant bottles of water, and we even had a clothes washer and dryer! In conclusion, this is not a tour for the faint of heart. You will not rest on a huge bus, and then be spoon fed. This is an experience. A personal journey. You will have to overcome some fears, set backs and complications. You will be stronger as a person and a family when you concur all these exciting challenges. We have traveled to some 30 countries. Belize is a secret gift to the soul. read more

"I had been planning an adventure to Jordan and Israel. So not knowing where to begin in hunting for a reasonable, honest, flexible, thorough guide, I started on the internet. I saw Charlie the Traveler's website and after doing some research, I may not have personally known anyone who has used Charlie the Traveler, but the reviews were exactly what I was looking for. I was able to tweak their standard itinerary, staying longer at some places, adding treks, and booking my own lodging. Upon arriving to the airport in Jordan, I was greeted by a local representative of Charlie the Traveler, 'Sami'. I cannot praise Sami enough and Charlie for finding a guide who legitimately cared about the traveler's experience. Sami made sure I was familiar with my itinerary Charlie's company had prepared for me, even after all my adjustments. I never felt uncomfortable, afraid for my safety or like I was being 'played'. Pick up and drop off times were always precise and reliable. I appreciate the care and reliability of Charlie the Traveler and his representatives. My time in Jordan was one of the greatest experiences of my life and I have Sami and his networking skills to thank for that. I will definitely use Charlie the Traveler for future adventures. Thank you! Carla Urbigkeit Oregon USA" read more

CharlieTheTraveler set up an amazing experience in Costa Rica! Great food, people, and adventures! I had a blast tasting the fresh fruits and exploring the jungles and many waterfalls and seeing the natural wonders and animals of the variegated landscape. The lively nightlife of Tamarindo was vivacious! Good tunes and good people! The night hike in Monteverde's cloud forest was crazy! Got to see so many critters and crawlers! The guides were eagle eyes! The waterfall rappelling in La Fortuna was incredible! Awesome getting to relax at the hot springs afterwards! Manuel Antonio was so lush and chill! The national park is beautiful and I fulfilled my sloth quota! The surfing school was rad; good teachers, muy divertido! Delicious ceviche! San Jose was very interesting! Big city with diamonds in the rough. The Pre-Colombian Gold Museum was unique and the Doka Estate coffee plantation was really informative! I had so much fun meeting a variety of folks from all over the world: travelers and guides alike all wanting to talk about what they've experienced in this wonderful país! Thanks so much! read more

In all my traveling, I can honestly say that Charlie the Traveler and his team are, without a doubt, the absolute best tour company and travel resources I have seen in my entire life! Charlie the Traveler and his team take care of everything from beginning to end, from A to Z! No stone is left unturned, and Charlie researches the heck out of things! Everything from the hotels he chooses, which are cool and always have a good social scene, to his itineraries and activities are top-notch! But don't take my word for it- you can go through one of his books and see how he pours his heart into his work. The quality of tour you get is also a very reasonable price for everything you get! Aside from being knowledgeable and tons of fun, Charlie is a good and ethical person. He says what he's going to do, and does what he says he'll do. He prioritizes safety and fun! I give Charlie the Traveler and his tour company my highest recommendation! He is truly a genius when it comes to travel, and you won't find an individual or company that is more passionate about creating lifetime memories! read more

I couldn't figure out why you were sending us to a bunch of monasteries. Once we got a look at them, I can understand. It is hard to believe that men without machines built them. They are well worth the climb. Sturdy shoes and water are a must. Our meal in a local home was loads of fun. It turns out the family are rock climbers, as I was long ago. We had a great time comparing notes. The food was exceptional and they should be cooking in a restaurant. They also gave me an appreciation of Greek wine. What I had been getting in restaurants left a bit to be desired. Back in Athens, Christiana took us to a restaurant for dinner. We did go to christiana's concert and enjoyed it. As you can gather from the messages going back and forth, we became great friends with Christiana and hope to see her next year when she comes to America. All our guides were well chosen we enjoyed them and they gave us a lot of information. We really appreciate what you put together for us. I hope you can use some of it for other travelers. Thank you, thank you, thank you read more

Just wanted to review my experience with (Balinese tour guide) Komang. I have had a great time visiting Nusa Penida. Komang has been very informative with regards to the itinerary, always on time, always motivated and with a smile. He has explained every question, has taken his time to make sure I had enough time at the different places we visited and took many pictures for me. I have had so much fun in just two days! He has been kind and I have always felt safe. He was attentive and made sure I didn't get injured in any of my adventures. I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Nusa Penida. My time in Bali was also amazing. 7 days full of visits to temples, waterfalls, beaches, rice fields and packed w experiences. I had Bagus and Dewar as my tour guide and driver. They always made sure I was safe and that I enjoyed every part of the program. The hotel accommodations were superior at all sites too. I would not have accomplished so much on my own as I did by having Charlie do all the work for me. I had an amazing time! Thank you! read more

We saw so much in Uyuni and around La Paz that I'm not even sure where to begin. Charlie the Traveler put together a custom "tour for two" on very short notice and it was first class all the way -- from the Uyuni Salt Flats to our La Paz hotel with a view of the Carnaval Parade route to the guide who took us hiking high up into the Andes. William, our contact, was in constant communication with us. We had expert drivers, comfortable vehicles, and depending on the day's itinerary we had different bilingual guides with really impressive knowledge of Bolivia's cultural heritage and history. We learned a lot and ate well every day! Never felt more catered to, or more pampered, by a tour company. Felt like it was truly important to everyone that we had a good time: and we did! We loved Bolivia, and I will never forget having a personal wine time set up for us in the middle of the salt flats. It was unreal! Thank you for everything William and thank you to Charlie the Traveler for making Bolivia an awesome experience we will always remember! read more

My trip with Charlie the Traveler was great. Having an itenerary was very helpful in helping me prepare for the day. I loved having the personal attention from my guides. All of my guides were great people! Knowing guide names ahead of time when possible was also helpful. I also loved having my transportation taken care of and trusting that they would show up for me. I did observe other tourists on a couple of occasions having to sit, waiting for their transportation to fill so that they could go. Their driver's were waiting to fill their vehicle, convincing other tourists to take the trip while I hopped in my ride and we left. I felt like a V.I.P. It was also helpful to have my entrance fees already paid for as I went from place to place. I really had an enjoyable trip and felt well taken care of. The sites I visited were incredible and worth it. Thank you Charlie the Traveler for minimizing the stress of organizing my travel agenda! read more

I was planning to spend some days in Porto de Galinhas or Maragogi, in Brazil, and came to discover CharlieTheTraveler's 13-day tour. This trip covers the North of the country, and has literally blown my mind! This company offers much more than I could have imagined to do out there! Above all. what I found most attractive is its detailed itinerary, which includes amazing activities at the different hotspots, such as flightseeing, 4x4 safari, sand boarding, cruise, boat and ferry sailing, snorkeling and even interacting with pink Dolphins! This company seems to guarantee joy, fun, relaxing and romantic moments that will most likely create lifetime memories for me and my girl. Finally, I love the fact that I don't even have to arrange myself for ground and water transportation, for example, and start calculating extra costs or fees. They also offer food, 1st class lodging and an on-call concierge. I just can't wait to start the tour! read more

I recently returned from an unforgettable trip to Iceland with CharlieTheTraveler, and I can't say enough good things about the entire experience. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully organized and well-executed. The itinerary was packed with breathtaking landscapes--from powerful waterfalls and black sand beaches to steaming geysers and glacier. We got to experience thrilling activities like hiking, and even soaking in the Sky Lagoon, all while staying in cozy accommodations and traveling in comfort. Our local guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about sharing the beauty of Iceland with us. This trip exceeded my expectations in every way. If you're looking for a hassle-free, action-packed way to explore Iceland's natural wonders, I highly recommend booking through CharlieTheTraveler. read more

Our Bali Trip was great - Charlie put together an itinerary that had each day filled with a mix of activities that worked really well for our family. While there was a fair amount of time in the car, having both a driver and tour guide kept everything moving smoothly. All accommodations were top notch and the staff at Dwarka Royal Villas in Ubud particularly stand-out. The Nusa Penida add-on, which we did first, provided the opportunity to see some jaw dropping views and get real exercise taking the trails down the cliff face to beaches and temples. Scrambling down nearly vertical metal ladders on a 600' descent, just after a recent rain and while wearing a sarong certainly added to the excitement factor. Many thanks to Charlie and his team for making this a trip to remember! read more

I just returned from a 14 day trip to Thailand. Charlie the Traveler was so easy to work with. Details of the trip were wonderful. It was somewhat a last-minute trip and everyone was so responsive to make it happen. And I enjoyed the flexibility of the trip. I was able to set my own start and ending date for the trip, pick my own hotels, and determine what activities appealed to me. As things change, which they always do when traveling, Charlie the Traveler was there - 24/7 - to fix it. I was never concerned about drivers not showing up on time, or guides being less than professional. As a senior woman travelling alone, it was just amazing! I can't wait to go on my next trip with Charlie the Traveler. read more

I've been looking for travel packages and I have not found anything quite like what Charlie puts together. Everything is thought of hotel excursions places to go visit & go eat.

Everything that is included they have great competitive prices and they are very responsive and friendly. I would definitely consider booking my next vacation with them. read more
