Ways toTravel with GeoEx MARSEL VAN OOSTEN

CustomTrips Our Custom Trips, precisely tailored or built completely from scratch for you and your chosen travel compadres, are filled with personalized details, special-access visits, and imaginative touches. More time here, less time there, skip this and add that—we’ll work hand in hand with you to come up with a journey that suits your style, time frame, and travel imaginings. We like creating Custom Trips. We’ve been at it for 38 years and are proud of having choreographed some highly unusual adventures. In fact, such handcrafted journeys comprise more than half of our business.

Many travel companies will tell you they’re able and eager to build custom journeys, but frankly, very few really are. It’s labor-intensive work, and it demands delicacy, empathy, experience, and lots of knowledge, responsibility, relationships, and time—all of which we have in abundance. Our travel wizards routinely pull off difficult logistics, knitting together trips of all kinds with rare moments, such as dinners with Bhutanese dignitaries, outings with trained golden eagle hunters, sessions in the private recording studios of famous musicians, off-hours museum visits in the company of curators, and meetings with acclaimed economists, historians, and artists. The earth’s wonders—and possibilities for explor- ing them—are limitless. Let us in on your wildest travel dreams; 15 countries in one trip can be (and has been) done. How about taking a transcontinental adventure through Asia, Africa, or the Americas, or even around the world? We can make it happen. Nearly all of GeoEx’s trips are fully customizable.
