Although there were a few women traveling as companions, for the most part, we started as a group of 16 strangers, and ended our week together as fast friends. It was wonderful to go on a trip that was truly a vacation. Anna's attention to detail, and our wonderful guide, Melina, implementing and impacting the vision, made for a completely relaxing, fun filled experience. The food experiences were a mix of hands-on and demonstration and the food was delicious. The diverse itinerary invited us to explore alleys, a vineyard, churches, vast olive groves, pastures, mountains, archaic villages, workshops, and, of course, kitchens! Our accommodations were spectacular; on any given day, at any moment, around any corner, my breath was taken away at the beauty of the Masseria, which was only surpassed by the kindness of the employees there. Melina was a treasure and it was our group's collective pleasure to get to know her. She kept everyone on task (not a small task with 16 women) and made everything even more fun. She is a kind wealth of knowledge on so many topics and clearly knows the area and all things foodie! Anna's instructions related to the trip planning were always clear and exacting, which resulted in seamless execution. As participants, our connection to each other hasn't stopped as the group chat continues.... I highly recommend Anna and her team for any trip that you really want to be a vacation!

TEP deserves more than 5 stars for the amazing start to finish service we experienced on our 7 day…read moreadventure to Peru to hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. From the time we signed up, to the time we boarded the plane to return home, TEP took care of every detail. We commented amongst ourselves that we felt like kids on vacation with our parents, as we didn't have to worry about any of the details - just show up and follow Neptali (our guide). From airport pickup in Cusco in luxury Mercedes vans where we were promptly served Coca tea to help with the altitude acclimation, to group dinners at amazing Peruvian restaurants, to historical tours and education on the history of the Inca - everything was covered and taken care of for us. And that was all before the amazing trek along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu! Of course the trek itself was the highlight of the trip, and although it was extremely challenging for us, TEP's unbelievable attention to detail did not fail us on the trail. With nearly a 2:1 porter to trekker ration, our every need was met on the trail. We dined like kings every meal, and were consistently amazed with the quality (and nutritional appropriateness) of the food our chef and sous chef were able to put out with minimal kitchen conveniences. The thing I felt was most special about TEP's approach to this trip was the focus on gaining a cultural and historical appreciation for what we were experiencing. Every step along the way, we learned about the native people of Peru, the Inca civilization, the many ruins we came across, the vegetation we saw and how it was and is used, and the history of modern Peru. It was the trip of a lifetime, and have the help of The Explorer's Passage made it so much more enjoyable, and so much more memorable. The value of what they provide is amazing for the cost....rather, for the investment. I highly recommend them!

Paula didn't get frustrated with me while I figured out the details for my event. In fact she sent me several cost proposals upon request. I never felt like I was being pressured to make a decision. The company is also tech friendly. We communicated via email and I was able to pay electronically. My daughter and her friends loved the party bus! (The adults loved it too!) The bus was clean, and was Bluetooth ready. Cost - Surprisingly affordable!!! It was worth every dollar! I am so happy that I was able to work with a local company. I will certainly continue working use Silver Star!
