"Recent tour to Panama Canal. Not real organized and communication not what I expected. Tour guide fair but she did her best. Farm tours at ports were weak-again not what we expected-a tour in Guatemala and going past sugar cane fields and guide obviously knows nothing about sugar cane production. We won’t use this tour group again. Rupiper tours never even reached out with a follow up survey-must not want to hear how poor they are?"

"Diana was a great host. Other travelers were farm folks like us! Best way to see Alaska; hopefully we can do another tour with them!."

"We just returned a few days ago from a Rupiper tour to Australia and New Zealand. It was a terrific trip: well planned and managed from beginning to end. For those of us who are interested in agriculture, I'm not sure you could find a better travel group to work with. We saw the usual big attractions in each country, but we also visited all kinds of farms and had a chance to interact with farm families. The tour manager, Brent Rupiper, was knowledgeable and efficient. The local guides and drivers were great as well. And the people we traveled with were some of the best we've ever had. I highly recommend Rupiper Travel & Tours."

"We had always wanted to try an Brazilian agricultural tour but had no recommendations from anyone. So very glad that we chose Rupieper. The tour was everything advertised but so much more. Rupieper has a close working relationship with local farmers and guides that really tell the story and answer the questions with genuine enthusiasm. You have access to so many places and experiences that you would never see on a regular tour. The other great bonus is traveling with a group of people from all over North America that have an interest in agriculture and a curiosity about farming in different countries. We truly enjoyed learning with and from our fellow travelers. I can’t emphasize enough how much the fellow travelers impact the experience. We can’t say enough for our travel host Brent. His interactions with the guides and farmers was great and his problem solving normal travel snafus kept everything and everyone organized and happy. I feel like we got an amazing immersion into the history, culture and agriculture of Brazil. I highly recommend this tour and plan to travel with Rupieper again."

"Great tours - they make sure you get the most out of your vacation. We visited a 200,000 acre soybean farm during harvest in Brazil, rode in a 60s convertible in Cuba, snorkeled the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, and picked pineapple at a farm in Hawaii. Many laces we could never visit on our own. Excited to visit South Africa with Rupipers next. They are always friendly and easy to work with. I recommend them to all my friends."
