Why GeoEx

I t’s been 38 years since GeoEx got its start, and we’re still happily pouring our passion and expertise into handcrafting extraordinary journeys to the ends of the earth—adventures that are at once illuminating and tremendously enjoyable. We feel privileged to send our travelers to places they’ve dreamed of for years, compelling destinations across all seven continents that we know deeply, and we are committed to doing their dreams and these destinations justice. The GeoEx staff, probably the most experienced in the industry, goes the extra mile to create trips that would be difficult to arrange on one’s own.

We thrive on finding the right combinations for each person, handling all the details, and being on call throughout—all of which have earned GeoEx remarkable loyalty from our travelers.
