Boy do they make magic happen. Top highlight was riding on horseback with a locally-renowed champion eagle hunter and their nomadic family through the Altai mountains while they practiced their call-and-release eagle training.

Rachel Mongolia

I am a lifetime explorer. I've had an active passport since I was 5. And I may not ever travel again without using Elsewhere.

Belinda Ghana

My husband and I are avid travelers. It takes so much time to research, research and research. We love it but it’s exhausting. For our anniversary, we wanted to have an epic trip. We decided to try Elsewhere and it was a complete game changer for us.

Caroline Egypt

I highly recommend Elsewhere regardless of how savvy a traveler you are. I'm a retired airline pilot with 50 years of travel under my belt and I saw, tasted, and heard things I would never have gotten to on my own.

Bill Italy

Nothing was ever out of the question for these professionals. I will never try to plan a vacation on my own again.

Pam Croatia

Hiking the sacred Dewa Sanza Mountains, meeting the Yamabushi monks and learning to forage and cook a traditional Shojin Ryori dish, I can't emphasize how spectacular and enlightening this experience was.

Emma Japan

From the initail consultation to the final goodbye, our experience was nothing short of outstanding. Elsewhere demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitement to ensuring our trip exceeded expectations. Their attention to detail was absolutely remarkable.

Jameela Spain

Best travel decision ever! Elsewhere curated a phenomenal trip, never have I been so blown away before.

Rachel Armenia

When I stumbled onto Elsewhere, I thought I would just be getting access to a generic itinerary template that I could then tailor on my own, but wow was I wrong!

Jeanette Japan

The trip was truly TRANSFORMATIVE for me on so many levels. It deposited so much more than I ever thought possible. I don't know that I will ever find words to capture the spiritual experiences we had there.

Elaine South Africa

Wow! I don't even know where to begin... When they say you have 24 hr concierge services, they aren't joking. I've never been so blown away by customer service this outstanding.

Caroline Egypt

It's the world's greatest understatement to say that Andrea absolutely, 1000%, nailed it. Could we have planned a honeymoon like this? It would've taken us probably 40-50 hours to do all the research, but there was absolutely things we got to do that we wouldn't have thought of or had access to.

Dan Italy

I had the extraordinary opportunity to hike to Annapuma Base Camp, From start to finish, the experience was spectacular.

Matthew Nepal

Magical, beautiful, life changing, exceeded all expectations! From the sunset camel ride, to the jeep tour through Wadi Rum, the tours of Jaresh and Petra, snorkeling in the Red Sea, and soaking in the Dead Sea, we were stunned, suprised and overwhelmed.

Kristin Jordan

Connecting with a destination through people who know and love it intimately is the best way to experience it's people, food, culture and sights. I have memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you all!

Kimberly Scotland

I have nothing but magic to share about our trip. Pravin is an absolute wizard and crafted the most unforgettable itinerary and experience for us.
