Global Basecamps

"Global Basecamps planned an incredible trip for our family to the Galapagos Islands and Mainland Ecuador. The itinerary was fantastic and the experiences were authentic and special. We swam with white tipped reef sharks, kayaked, snorkeled with sea lions, and thoroughly enjoyed our time in The Galapagos. We had a great stay in the treehouses at Galapagos Magic and enjoyed a couple nights by the water at Finch Bay. Our trip on the mainland included visits to Guayaquil, Cuenca, Quito, and Zuleta. Highlights included the drive from Guayaquil to Cuenca (with a beautiful hike in Cajas National Park en route) and our time in Zuleta. Zuleta was magical - the setting was gorgeous. The Global Basecamps team was amazing pre-trip and throughout our trip - we were very appreciative for all that they did to make our trip perfect."

"Two weeks in Thailand and Global Basecamps nailed it! Allison Tucker really took the time to understand what kind of experience our family was looking for and then revised our itinerary accordingly until it was perfect. Our trip had everything... discovery, culture, active adventure and always a wonderful boutique hotel to return to at the end of the day. She even sent us off with a list of personal restaurant recommendations. Above and beyond in every way. We will definitely be calling these folks again for our next vacation."

"We have used Global Basecamps for a trip Kenya and to Peru. Both trips were amazing. Global Basecamps did an excellent job organizing the trip for us. They are very good at creating a custom trip for your specific travel goals. They are extremely responsive and patient (we always have a ton of questions!). We just booked another trip to Vietnam with Global Basecamps for later this year! Yay! For all three trips we used Meagan Yash as our contact and she is GREAT!"

"My travel group of 4 used Global Basecamps to plan a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Japan and I have only incredible things to say about the company. I reached out to the company about a year before our travel dates, and over the course of that year our Japan trip representative, Laura, spent so much time with us to plan our perfect trip. We talked on the phone and emailed, and Laura was consistently a fantastic communicator. We had a general idea of what we wanted to do in Japan, but what I most impressed with was the knowledge Laura had of the country. She listened to the types of activities that our group enjoys doing, then she provided spot-on recommendations for our trip. I can honestly say that if it weren't for Global Basecamps then we would have missed out on so many incredible parts of Japan. They planned a 2 week trip for us that included the big cities (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka), but also includes so many rural areas and small towns that were just beautiful (Takayama, Hakone). Laura also recommended and planned a 3 day hike through the Kumano Kodo area, which we had never heard of until speaking with her. This allowed us to escape to nature while on our trip and soak in the Japanese countryside. Global Basecamps took care of literally all of our logistics--hotels, ryokans, trains, buses, taxis, etc. We were provided a full, easy-to-read itinerary prior to our start date, and we used these guides throughout the trip. The guides provided our logistics information as well as restaurant and sightseeing recommendations for every city. This was a great resource for us. We were provided local contacts during our trip so at any point if we had a question or need we had someone to reach out to. The level of service provided was spectacular. Global Basecamps provided us personalized service, superb trip planning, and ultimately a Japanese trip that we will never forget. I cannot recommend this company enough. If you are looking to plan something incredible then use Global Basecamps."

"This is the best travel company! I booked trips to Tanzania and Japan with Lauren H. and her attention to detail was amazing! Truly once in a lifetime journeys that I will never forget. I especially like that they work with local travel specialist that really know everything that their destination has to offer and the service was exemplary. I my heart was warmed when we visited the children at a local Masai school that Global Basecamps and their local vendors sponsor. The children were so happy about the suitcase full of school supplies that we brought. Such a special memory!"
