My boyfriend and I purchased an apple picking trip via Groupon and were very excited to attend…read morebased on all of the reviews, but ultimately due to poor planning on either Groupon's or Sourced Adventure's part were not able to attend. We purchased the Groupon on a Friday (when there were multiple trip dates available) and went to redeem the Groupon on Monday when we both could confirm our schedules, but there were zero available dates. I do not suggest using a Groupon for this company, as they have not organized themselves properly to allow those who have purchased a trip via Groupon to attend.

A big group of us (10) went on the Harper's Ferry tubing trip. Overall, we had a lot of fun and our…read moretour guides were great, but the tubing was not very relaxing. When we boarded the bus to the river, the drivers seemed to be having a disagreement and confusion over "which river" we were going to. I have a feeling we got taken to the "white water" route instead of the calmer, flat river route. We were all expecting a fairly relaxing lazy river experience, but it actually turned out to be a bit treacherous. There were extremely rough, jagged boulders everywhere that ripped our tubes and floating coolers and badly scratched us up. There were a half dozen rapids that flipped us and our coolers over. We spent more time getting stuck than actually drifting along the river. The $95 per person included a BBQ lunch post-tubing which was very good, and then another trip to a Virginia brewery. Though I think we all could have skipped the brewery (too tired). Tips: - Wear real water shoes or lace-up sneakers that are tightly secured. Our friends that wore flip flops or sandals all lost their shoes. - DO NOT bring anything of value with you on the water. You can leave your stuff on the bus. Wear cheap sunglasses. Our group lost 3 pairs of shoes, a few shirts, an iPhone, a speaker, and 4 pairs of sunglasses. They tell you this there, but I don't think people took it seriously. Don't. Bring. Your. Phone. - They sell ice and water shoes there, if you need them in a pinch. - Some of the life jackets BADLY reeked of body odor, so make sure you to grab a normal-smelling one. - Not all the tubes had cup holders, so try to find one that does. - Listen to them when they advise against standing up in the river. The current is strong, and it will drag you and your dangling limbs over razor sharp rocks. Stay in ya tube. All in all, we had a lot of fun as a group and would probably go again, as long as we could go on a lazier river :)

Re Kyrgyzstan: A…read moreriver of email photo trip offerings arrive in my inbox each week. While they have merit and are attractive, the opportunity to travel throughout Kyrgyzstan is unique in the photo workshop/expedition world. I'd never seen an opportunity like this before, and it immediately intrigued and excited me. Additionally, I'd never been on a photo workshop before. The logistics of the trip are daunting. Eighteen days long, with fifteen days on the road. Other than three hotel nights in Bishkek, the capital, at the start and end of the trip, only three nights are in hotels, the rest in yurt camps or tents. The execution of the logistics was impeccable. There was never an oversight or a dropped ball. And, despite the demands of this trip and extensive behind the scenes coordination and decision making, trip leaders Justin Black and Jerry Dodrill were always warm and in good cheer, with abundant photographic suggestions, insights and approaches to subjects. There is great instruction while shooting, exposure to diverse environments (2,500 feet to 13,400 feet elevation), and more than enough time at a multitude of locations to develop both a feel and an approach for/to the subject matter. Both Justin and Jerry are world class photographers with decades of experience teaching, and it shows. Ask a question and you get an answer with years of knowledge behind it (Stop, I can't absorb any more!). A word of advice to potential participants...this is not a hotel-based experience. You will be able to most enjoy this trip if you've spent some time outdoors, some time in tents, understand the clothing necessities of weather and altitude, and are prepared to tolerate a little bit of discomfort for an extraordinary experience. Justin's packing list is flawless. I give this trip six stars, and I'm a tough grader.-Lee G., 2024 Kyrgyz Republic Expedition participant

I believe he provides expert photography information (instructions, critiques, advice), excellant lodging and food, and most importantly he gets us to the best locations in perfect time to catch the light. Every detail on a trip or workshop is managed ahead of time-there are no surprises. Each location is carefully planned and scouted out. Justin has always been patient and willing to listen and help from the time I was new to photography till I had gained some expertise. I always learn something new and will keep coming back!
