Zegrahm ExpeditionsReviews of zegrahm.com

We loved this trip! Everything was very well organized and top notch. The Expedition Leaders were all super knowledgeable and upbeat. We would highly recommend Zegrahm.

An excellent itinerary, right up with the best we have experienced with Zegrahms in our many travels with them. They showed us an unique part of our own country in a pleasant and informative way which was better than we could have done by ourselves.

Ideal vacation with intellectual Stimulation. Fine Food, excellent and friendly Service, good cabin, interesting excursions, world class Expedition leader - happy customer.

On a Travco trip to Southeast Asia...annoyed they didn't provide elephant experiences yet shown on brochure. Found their guide fabulous, their sales lady had an unpleasant attitude.

Zegrahm fell short short of expectations in several respects. 1, the ship and its decor were tired, 2, the food was undistinguished and the wine was was generally of low quality, 3, the buses were too large, typically two buses for the entire group. This limited the flexibility of departures and changes in venue. Buses should have been half the size used in order to facilitate flexibility and ease of navigation in smaller towns. 4, most of the anchorages were at excessive distance from the points of interest making it difficult or impossible to have dinner off the ship or to explore the towns in the evening. Often the location of the anchorage necessitated unduly long bus rides to and from the points of interest. 5, in spite of having an upgraded cabin our quarters were cramped and suffered from poor maintenance including leaks on two separate occasions. 6) The staff were engaging and helpful but odd choices in some cases- we had an ornithologist on board for a trip covering Malta and Sicily where bird populations have been nearly extirpated. He was a charming person but his specialty was of little use under the circumstances.7) both my wife and I submitted our comments when elicited by Zegrahm. Given the disappointment we registered I anticipated that there would be some form of follow up by Zegrahm. This never occurred.

We enjoy the expedition-style travel in smaller ships. The onboard staff have been excellent. Each serves to enrich the experience and deepen the understanding of the cultures and countries visited. Their knowledge is impressive and truly enriched our experience. Everything from initial contact to logistics once on board was handled promptly and efficiently. All staff are friendly, helpful and fun! They are willing to go the extra mile to help when needed.

I have traveled with Zegrahm Expeditions on three separate occasions and have been favorably impressed with this organization on each journey. They are deeply skilled at developing itineraries that maximize each destination, and their staff surpasses expectations with each passing day. The naturalists not only exhibit depth and breadth of knowledge about their respective areas of expertise, but also, they are very effective and notable lecturers. The expedition staff who transport passengers to and from the shore in zodiacs are highly skilled, and I felt 100% safe at all times. I especially like the fact that Zegrahm specializes in small ship travel, which maximizes the experience and results in more personal service. I recommend Zegrahm to all of my friends and choose to travel with them whenever possible.

Not quite the company they used to be.
