Pygmy Elephant 306 South Washington Avenue, Royal Oak, MI 48067

"Had a really good trip to the W Trek in Chilean Patagonia with Pygmy E. Key areas they did well: great choice of hotels incl off trail; very responsive team whenever issues arose (as they always will); overall fantastic trip. Given our group, there could have been value in a bit more earlier briefing in retrospect, including how the Plan B to get to the start point in bad weather works. Trying to solve it live is a challenge, and sometimes the outsourced vendors they work with are not that helpful or responsive."

"Just returned from a trip planned by Pygmy Elephant. I had originally found the company on Instagram and couldn’t find much on honest reviews. Just wanted to pop on here and say the company is legit and we had the most incredible time. Communication was great, and travel was seamless. We traveled with another couple (4 total) and did the TMB. At each accommodation, pygmy guests were prioritized. The custom handbook they gave was perfect and explained the trails in depth as well as alternates if you chose. I could not have planned all the logistics for this trip by myself. The staff at Pygmy is educated and up to date on information, they even switched one of our accommodations as the recent reviews hasn’t been great. While hiking we encountered others who also booked with Pygmy and we’re happy. I highly recommend booking with them and look forward to hiking Patagonia with their assistance next year!"

"Can’t recommend them enough. Pygmy Elephant planned an unforgettable Tour du Mont Blanc for us! They cater your trip to your exact needs, offer transparent pricing, and have an impecable eye for detail. Their detailed planning and support materials left us with nothing to do but enjoy our hike. It’s absolutely worth having Pygmy plan your adventure. Will definitely be using them again."

"Just came back from a Tour du Mont Blanc that Pygmy Elephant organized. We are very pleased with their service and professionalism. From itinerary planning to booking the lodging and organizing the luggage transfer, we could not have been happier. Their app with customized itinerary was perfect. Knowing there was a team ready to help out in any event was reassuring."

"I cannot say better things about our experience with Pygmy Elephant! We used them for the Tour Mont Blanc trip and did the luxury package. We had an amazing experience with little work on our party, Pygmy did everything! We loved all of our hotels and somehow each room had an amazing view outside our window. They even sent us some champagne surprises as we were on our honeymoon. We had zero issues and couldn’t be happier. We’ll be recommending Pygmy to everyone we know, and likely using them for another trip!"
