Elevate organized a truly excellent itinerary for our trip to Cuba balancing our family's requirements, legal requirements around US citizens visiting Cuba and the idiosyncrasies and restrictions of Cuba extremely well. For most of the trip (especially in Havana) we felt like we were locals more than tourists as Elevate's packed itinerary carefully steered us around typical tourist-traps. Five stars overall.

I highly recommend this experience to anyone. We are a family of five with young children (ages 5, 7 and 10). My 10 year old said it best, 'This is better than Disney!' The whale watch and turtle research to the sand dunes, the delicious food, the staff, the other travelers in the group... A trip of a lifetime, although I'm hoping to book another trip soon.

Every aspect of my trip was incredible.
Riding horses in Kenya was a dream come true. I galloped through herds of animals and saw every species.
Crossed rivers teaming with hippos, filmed lions and rhinos.

Every place we visited was absolutely worthwhile.
And our excellent guide was critical to helping us to understand the country and the customs.

It was an amazing adventure! Although walking the Inca trail was difficult and challenging, being able to say "we did it", was quite rewarding. We stayed at some beautiful places and we were treated so well everywhere we went. I would also say that our tour guides "in country" were great! In particular, we had a great bond with Yuri in the Sacred Valley and Christian in the Galapagos. They were friendly, informative and wanted to make the trip what WE wanted it to be.
The itinerary was perfect--great combination of places and all were different enough that we felt we got fabulous experiences. All were different in the way they approached conservation but all were excellent and focused on it. All managers, guides, trackers were wonderful.
Our trip exceeded above and beyond our expectations.
It was a truly life changing experience.
I will never make another trip to Africa without talking to Dominique first.

Every place we stayed was wonderful. The food and drink in all the places was so good and abundant there was not one bad thing. It was the perfect honeymoon! Dominique got it all together for us. Everything was right on mark. We were met and expected everywhere we went, and everyone knew it was our honeymoon. Perfect job!

We had an amazing trip. All transitions were smooth, on time. All accommodations were excellent and interesting.
We went to Cambodia and Thailand. Spent three days visiting non-profits in Phnom Penh, then went to Siem Reap, beaches in Thailand and an elephant sanctuary. All aspects of the trip were excellent: food, accommodations, and experiences.

Lana did an awesome, awesome job. The three extra days I had in Swakopmund she a great job on connecting with day trips that really were of interest to me. And every time I called her with a question she was very nice and never rushed me, always kept me up to date. It was a great pleasure to work with her.
