Company treats return customers well. Could work on communication (difficulty reaching people via phone during the day, things not explained clearly, mistakes in documentation). While they do offer some trips with no single supplement (limited to only cruises and just a few cabins), overall their single supplements are overpriced. I have been traveling with them for >10 years and they are pricing themselves out of the market. They need to add more unique trips for the 40-60 age group (active but not athletic). They are nature focused and have a good presence in S. Amer, but missing some key destinations like Brazil (Pantanal) and Panama (these are only offered for a custom trip which is not affordable). Their guides are some of the best I've had, always knowledgeable and friendly.

India Karazanga Nat Park- not for anyone over 30- wonderful places to visit..marvelous wildlife..much better than Taj Mahal ..local/boat Guide ok (not great and inexperienced, had his own agenda for taking pictures/ seeing wildlife// he was not looking for what we wanted to see in our group but for himself and his bird collection) .. AND IE Expert on trip had to take a backseat to local guide when on river boat/ in park on tours ( 6 + days) .. expect to pay ~$25 extra for photos made by local/ boat guide. IE guide did send group photos taken with telephoto lens no charge. Trip home was AWFUL. We were kept up traveling for 24 hours before we even set foot on the plane for return flights from Delhi to USA.. (28 hr flight ) VERY POORLY PLANNED return.. Not for anyone over 30. Will never use IE again ( this was my third trip) because of total exhaustion over one week due to return trip. If you do go, take lots of antidiarrheal agents and antibiotics.

We have taken 13 adventures with Internatinal Expeditions. We are often asked which trip was our favorite and have never even able to zero in on just one,or two,or even three. All trips were well planned and executed. Our expedition leaders and local guides were superb. We’re currently exploring choices for our 50th Anniversary trip.

We had a terrific guide, and the accommodations and activities were great. Our guide was very knowledgable, positive and extremely adept at shepherding our group through all of our experiences, despite the range of our ages and preferences. The lodge at Kenai Fjords National Park was absolutely wonderful, and the staff there was really great as well.

I've traveled with IE on four occasions: to Cuba, Belize and twice to Peru. All these destinations are, of course, wonderful places to see, but I especially appreciate IE's dedication to sustainable travel and to ensuring that local residents of these destinations benefit from this ecotourism.

Crew and staff went out of their way to ensure an authentic and memorable experience.

Very informed guides and the wildlife and historical sites were superb as was the food. Logistics however need to be improved. First day should have come with a list of suggestions and a city map. Rooms should not have overlooked a religious site which was going to have all night long celebrations interfering with any sleep. Too early a start on last day which was much too long and really continud into the nighttime departures.

Very professionally done
