From the owner: Your one-stop shop for adventure travel and active vacations. Olivier's Trails is a one-of-a-kind…read moretravel operation that is the perfect choice for any active individual seeking solitude, wilderness and adventure. The trips are a satisfying blend of taking in breathtaking landscapes by day, all while having the luxury of comfortable lodging amenities at night. Leading a one-man operation allows me to be super responsive to the needs of individuals and flexible to specific circumstances such as dietary needs or sudden changes in route/trail conditions. Last but not least, a small trip group (10 max.) not only minimizes impact on fragile wilderness environments, but also allows us adventurers to be efficient with the time we have and take full advantage of our always scant vacation days. I recognize the powerful effect several days of exploring the wild can have on a person's well-being and have realized it is my life's mission to bring these unforgettable outdoors experiences to people.

I can't say enough good things about Shade & Travel. I've traveled with them to Costa Rica,…read moreColombia, Jamaica, and Vail, and every single trip has been an amazing experience in its own way. Each destination was thoughtfully planned, well-organized, and full of unforgettable moments. All I had to do was show up, it is so effortless and fun. Shania and Brandon are the best hosts. Together they create such a welcoming, stress-free environment that makes it easy to relax, connect, and fully enjoy the experience. Brandon has continued to bring the best energy to every trip! Can't wait for the 2026 trips!

As a type a person having someone mange your stays, adventure, relaxation, food, and bring people who enjoy seeing the world is truly an experience everyone should encounter. The people you meet on this trip are truly some of the best people you'll ever cross paths with. As my 2nd group trip with shade & travel I can confidently say it won't be my last! Shade & travel has created some of my favorite memories ever. Truly grateful for them

Paige is different. She really listened to our needs and interests as a family and understood perfectly what would work for us. We loved the hotels she picked as well as the activities. She found activities that were fun for all ages rather than just catering to either the adults or the kids. It really felt personalized, like what I would have planned for myself if I had endless free time and travel knowledge. I also really appreciated her organizational and communication skills (both areas where I have very high standards). Would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a more personalized approach to trip planning.

Overall rating: 4.8…read more Full warning: this is a history tour of deaths more than ghosts. It's a great tour but I think if they revised the name to "haunted" or "spooky", it would be closer to the actual tour. Which is a history of massive deaths in the Brooklyn area. The tour goes from Williamsburg, to the Navy Yard to back up. You actually learn a lot about the Cobble Hill area. Tyler and Danny were great and so knowledgeable!! Not sure if this is a repeatable tour, but it definitely is worth it! Also come on the earlier side bc seats fill up quickly! I think I was only 1 of 3 locals. Everyone else were tourists. But they were nice. Highly recommend!

It was uncomfortable and poorly managed. The guide herself (Gaya) seemed nervous and not very comfortable with public speaking. Her energy was low and it made the tour feel flat. The whole thing really needed more confidence and enthusiasm to make the stories come alive. As for the tour content, it was extremely underwhelming. We did not go to any real haunted sites or cemeteries. At one point the driver simply pulled over on the side of the highway and pointed out a cemetery in the distance. I could not believe that counted as part of the experience. Overall this felt like a waste of money and time. It was crowded, disorganized, and the storytelling lacked excitement. I would not recommend this tour to anyone expecting an engaging or authentic haunted experience.

I can't wait for my next trip to take another walking tour with this tour company. Onel is knowledgeable, personable, engaging, humorous, thoughtful and kept us on time! He knew exactly where to stop for photo ops and gave us plenty of time for them - I appreciated the scheduled bathroom break at clean bathrooms and the stop for drinks/snacks at the most perfect grocery store that I wish was in my neighborhood. The tour ended at lunchtime in the perfect location with several food options as well as close to both the ferry and trains for the return commute to Manhattan. I highly recommend this walking tour with Onel as your guide - you won't regret it!
