Overseas Adventure Travel - Boston, Massachusetts

This was my first trip with Overseas Adventure Travel. It exceeded my wildest expectations! The trip leaders were respectful, kind and oh, so patient! Their knowledge of the places, people, wildlife, etc… made the trip. I have done a fair amount of travel on my own and this experience was very different. The accommodations were top notch. The food was excellent and way too much!🐷 I will definitely be referring others to OAT and will certainly consider other trips with them.
The Galapagos experience is almost beyond words. I guess you just have to see for yourself!

We travelled with OAT to India Jan 2025. We did the Heart of India tour. I had heard good things about OAT but had never travelled on a group tour even though I have travelled extensively.
I can’t say enough about how impressed I(we) were. The thoughtful itinerary was over the top. We would never have known to go to some of sites we visited such as the temples, we would not have had the experiences of spending a morning with people from a rural village then contrasting that with visiting a residential expensive school, we would never have understood the complexities of Indians cultures, politics, religions and customs. Our group leader (Dev) was amazing answering all our questions and personalizing our experiences in our free time. Our group added to our enjoyment offering interesting experiences and friendship.
I can’t say enough about how impressed I am with OAT. We will definitely travel with them again in 2025!

We had an amazing time in Australia and New Zealand. Our guide, Mike M. was very knowledgeable and had a great attitude. I would definitely have him be our guide again. He showed us about the culture and the land and the people. And brought us to so many interesting places, we were going constantly. The land is breathtaking, and any locals we talked to were so friendly. I can't say enough about OAT Travel, the rooms were amazing, the reservations were taken care of, everything was handled, all we had to do was show up. Loved that about them. Thank you OAT Travel for an unforgettable trip of a lifetime, and hopefully many more.

I went on the Tanzania, Serengeti tour, with the added hot air balloon ride.
This trip exceeded my expectations, in every way. The people at all the lodges were so welcoming, the rooms were beautiful, and the food was delicious, and my biggest surprise, was all the fresh vegetables and fruits, at every meal. .
Eddy, our tour guide opened his heart to our group, and shared so much, of his beautiful country and its people, with us. The learning and discovery part of this tour, gave us an opportunity to connect with people from all walks of life. So many highlights, especially going to a Maasai village and beading and dancing with them, visiting the children in their schools, , home visits, controversial topics.talks, such as genital mutilation and albinism. We had the opportunity to buy water filters and deliver them, to a group of women , on our way to the Serengeti, as they were out collecting water, with their donkeys. The joy on their faces was priceless.
. Eddy knew so many people, everywhere we went, that were so knowledgable , and welcoming. A couple favorites were the park ranger, educating us, about the black Rhino, and a walk through the organic gardens at one of the lodges, and a talk , by a brilliant young man , one of Eddy’s students, on all the different animals and their place, in the ecosystem.
Some of the best stops, were spontaneous. Once we stopped at a man’s house, who had drawings on the outside of his place. The reason he made the drawings, was to help him manifest, what he wanted his future to be. So simple , yet so profound.
Our drivers Tom and JJ, were fantastic drivers, making sure we were always safe and as comfortable as you can be, on those bumpy roads, in the Serengeti. They were both Maasai, and we were able to learn so much about their culture, as well as how good they were ar spotting the animals from great distances, and answering all our many many questions!
My favorite part of the trip were the tents , in the Serengeti! That view of the plains, and sitting around the fire every night, watching the sunset, was magical.
And the Baobab trees!! It was so cool to get to hug ones of these 1500+ year old trees.
I thought the trip was all about seeing the animals( I’ve wanted to go to Africa, since I was 10 years old), and we did see the big 5, Eddy and our drivers worked hard to give us the opportunity , to make it happen, but it was everything else that made this trip so memorable!!
I will definitely be taking more OAT trips in the future. Back to Tanzania for sure and ultimate Africa, will be next!
Thank you Eddy, Tom snd JJ, for making this the dream trip of my life!!

My OAT trip to Patagonia -Wilderness and Beyond was pure magic! Trip Leader Jorge Elage turned a beautiful landscape and local culture into an enchanting trip! You could feel the love and passion Jorge and his local guides had for their job and the places they took us. The sense of humor, knowledge and TLC that came from our trip leader crept into our souls and turned our group into one big happy family. So I say, get out of your comfort zone, go a little rogue and discover Patagonias beauty and beyond!

This is an amazing adventure! From exploring souks in the medinas to riding ATVs and Camels in the Sahara. We saw so much and did so many things. Getting immersed in Morocco's culture was a true highlight. OAT excels at putting together a trip where you actually get to see the real country and not just the tourist traps.

We are so delighted we experienced our first OAT trip with Cristiano Marsaglia! Our mighty group of 14 travelers was a happy group AND I sincerely believe it was the result of the tone he set and the great care and attention to detail consistently given to us throughout our time together.

Each town we visited had its unique interest and the hotels we stayed in were very nice, especially Hotel Griso in Lecco. The pace and flexibility were greatly appreciated…and Cristiano's balance of quiet time and information “time" was spot on. Clearly he had established a wonderful rapport with the various locals we met as I attribute their positive attitude towards us a direct result of their comfort and respect for Cristiano. I learned so much …from the Austrian/Italian fiasco of Mussolini to growing apples and grapes, my head if bulging from new information! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
