For me the highlight was zip lining above the canopy. It was so beautiful I forgot to be scared! I was worried about being “on our own” without a guide physically present but the tour operator answered any questions we had via What’s App promptly and thoroughly at any time of day and everything went so smoothly. Drivers were there right on time with a smile to get us from one activity to another. The hotels were uniquely Costa Rican with bright tropical decor and landscaping and located walking distance from shops and restaurants. And there was always lots of pineapple and plantains.

The best part of the Costa Rica trip for me was the visit to the Sloth Sanctuary and the zip line adventure.

Prompt and timely transfers. We were impressed that each of our pick-ups from our various events were on time and efficient.
Improvement suggestions: After viewing some of the other lodging options (as our shuttle dropped off other travelers), I would have preferred the option to upgrade one or two of our hotels in the planning stage (granted, it would have cost a bit more). No pool & no close restaurants on our third hotel was unfortunate (we had some down-time which a pool would have been appreciated). We didn't have time after the white-water rafting to view and purchase photos before we were hustled out for the long bus ride to Avernal. Although adequate, I would have preferred actually visiting one of the two Cloud Forest Reserves vs an abbreviated hike around the 100% Adventure property. It's a long way to go to not see the actual Cloud Forest Reserve.

The perfect balance of active and relaxing. This trip was Pura Vida in travel form. The adventures weren't too excessive. And the hikes weren't too strenuous. I'm 50 and my wife is 45. We're not exceptional athletes or anything. And we found the activities to be just perfect. The only mildly negative I can think of is there is a fair amount of time in transport. I enjoyed the down time and the scenery, but I could see some people getting bored. So take a book. And the length of the trip was perfect for a quick winter get away.

Santa Marta and Colombia’s Lost City
Colombia
Our guide, Christian, on the Tayrona National Park coastal hike was very knowledgeable in all aspects both of the area and of the flora and fauna.
The local tour company was readily accessible once we were back to cell phone service after the Lost City hike. Especially when one of us became ill such that we needed to cancel our tubing experience.
The Hotel Jorara eco-hotel after the Lost City hike was a wonderful experience. We enjoyed a very large room and an open air Read More area beside the room to hang out in and relax. Very helpful staff.
Our first night hotel in Santa Marta was in a good location for walking on the malecon next to the water with easy access to the Museo del Oro as well. One complaint: our room was right above a bowling alley. Hmmm.

Umbria - Culinary Walking Tour
Italy
We took this tour in mid-October and thoroughly enjoyed the hotels, towns, and special dinners included. Petra and Paolo gave us an arrival-night orientation which was very helpful and reassuring. This was our first self-guided tour with Tripsite. The hotels were truly lovely with hosts who were welcoming and accommodating. Their breakfasts were substantial. The three towns were new to us which was a delight.
Our walking directions were excellent. We did not take all the planned walks, choosing to walk other places that were particularly appealing to us.
We found Spello to be our favorite of these three towns and enjoyed immensely the wine-tasting dinner at Enoteco Properzio.
Spoleto was special for us because of the sister arts festival in our home town of Charleston, SC, selected by Menotti himself.
Any time we visit Umbria again, we will check in with Umbria & Ecologico Tours for guidance.
Many thanks to them and Tripsite for this self-guided tour of the region of Umbria.

Madeira Paradise
Portugal
The vistas were fantastic from all over Madeira. The two different sides of the island had two totally different water features. Some were rugged and straight into the water while others had calmer waters. The vegetation was beautiful. Very hilly which makes for dramatic views.

Umbria - Culinary Walking Tour
Italy
The GPX viewer app generally worked well for the walk. However, the estimated walk time should be increased to 3 hours for the Assisi to Spello walk & the difficulty increased to slightly challenging. After the walk to the winery, transportation should be supplied to Spello as people may not want to walk to Spello after Winery lunch & several glasses of wine.
The GPX viewer shows the location of the Winery stop as 1.1 km from the actual location of Tili 21 which is hard for the walkers after trekking from Assisi.
The next day’s walk through Collepino should specify that the final 1 km to Collepino is a steep uphill climb. Otherwise, a great experience all around.
Thank You

Multi-adventure on Madeira Island
Portugal
The guides were wonderful. They had local information and history to share with us, laughed at our misadventures and were extremely supportive as we hiked, rode bikes and just viewed the scenery. Miguel was there every step of the tour as our contact person. Marco was wonderful and had great suggestion for dinners around the island. Joesphina had the local history down and could personalize it to make the country come alive.

Spanish Way Camino de Santiago
Spain
We really enjoyed the experience walking these six days. The countryside was beautiful and the villages we passed through were scenic. It was interesting to see so many old structures along the route, many of them long since abandoned. We visited many of the small churches along the way and found them charming. At the end of each day we were tired, but not excessively so. We were very glad that we were not carrying packs and that we could look forward to a comfortable room each night. The lodging and food at Rectoral De Lestedo and La Casona De Nené in Arzua were exceptionally good. We thought that the Pousada De Portomarin was an interesting place, but was past its prime and needed updates. The Hotel Carlos 96 was also not to the level of the other hotels.

Spanish Way Camino de Santiago
Spain
Walking the Camino de Santiago with my dear friends was an experience unlike any other. The path took us through time, meandering through stone villages and farms and absolutely breathtaking forests. We made new friends along the way and supported each other as we completed the journey. This trip allowed us to connect with each other, fellow pilgrims, and a beautiful part of Spain. Buen Camino!

Umbria - Culinary Walking Tour
Italy
This tour features food and wine tasting with local proprietors who treat you like guests rather than customers, as well as scenic hiking through olive groves and wildflowers. It is an ideal way to experience Umbria in depth, and much more intimate than a tourist bus tour. The hikes are moderate and you will work up an appetite for homemade bruschetta, pasta, and meatballs, with wine pairings.

Spanish Way Camino de Santiago
Spain
The Camino itself since the scenery was exceptional and picture perfect! Living on a small island, greenery is lacking so seeing all the lovely meadows, rolling fills and forests was breathtaking. The final ceremony at the Cathedral in Santiago was amazing as we witnessed the botafumeiro swing and we all felt a special emotion which we will never forget! Thank you Tripsite for materialising our dream and for the professional way you have led this journey. Now on to the next one ☺️

Each host/hotel was very gracious and accommodating. We felt like special guests and were treated with great kindness, starting with Casada Posada- Marcela made GF pancakes and made sure we had everything we needed to start. Each hotel was different but excellent. Our favorite was Rectoral de Lestedo- Miguel was just wonderful.
I looked up the locations and comments before choosing hotels and was happy with my selection in every case.
Compliments to Tripsite staff on the information booklet. It was perfectly done with just the right amount of information- others we showed it to that met on the way were also impressed!

The Kenai Peninsula
United States
We stayed at the Backcountry Lodge, Riverside Lodge, and Kenai Fjords Lodge. All were amazing, with friendly, helpful staff and well-trained guides. All transportation (vans, boats, rafts, kayaks, etc.) and activities were seamlessly coordinated, and the food was great. As perfect as the experience was, it was the natural beauty of all the sites that overshadowed everything else - we only wish we could have stayed longer.
