I received a high level of curated knowledgeable and flexible service from Jeff and his team. They were responsive efficient and invested in every step of my journey. It was my first time working with Jeff and I plan to book another adventure with The highest confidence in the explorer passage

The pre-trail guide and the trail guide were both best-in-class. The pre-trail experiences were well thought out and executed. Hotels and rooms were all top of line as well as the restaurants in which we ate. Total trip duration was from October 6 - October 24, 2025

Our trip to Venice and the Dolomites, meticulously crafted by Jeff Bonaldi and his team at The Explorer's Passage, was nothing short of perfection. The entire journey was flawlessly planned, with every aspect taken care of down to the finest detail. Our hotels and restaurant reservations were not only outstanding but perfectly captured the essence of what we had hoped for. All of our transfers and logistics were executed without a single issue, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the breathtaking scenery. The level of customization and personal attention was incredible, resulting in a truly unforgettable and hassle-free vacation. We are already looking forward to our next adventure with The Explorer's Passage.

Jeff and Explorer's Passage did a simply outstanding job on planning our trip and being extremely responsive during the trip (the few times a little help was needed). I can't say enough and will be booking all future adventure trips with Jeff. He knows his stuff from personal experience, and does a excellent job administratively.

What a trip of a lifetime!!! It was such an amazing adventure! Jeff planned the perfect trip for us & the materials & calls leading up to the trip were super professional & helpful. The people, the food, the land, the history… wow. I learned so much and had such an amazing time! Our guide for Cusco, Machu Picchu, & Rainbow Mountain was top-notch - his personal stories, command of the trails, and knowledge of the culture & history were amazing. Everything was beyond my expectations - it was a beautifully curated trip.

Working with Jeff to customize a trip to Patagonia for 5 was really enjoyable, easy and affordable! Jeff listens, asks insightful questions, responds thoughtfully and quickly if done either by Zoom or online. He found a way to include all we wanted to do and seamlessly put it together never making our travel plans and hikes seem like they were jammed together; it gave us downtime for reflecting on such incredible sights and sites. We are fortunate to have connected with Jeff and plan to use his services and network providers again.

Jeff and his crew went above and beyond in helping us plan an amazing trip to Patagonia. I had younger children, and he was able to work around some of our restraints and concerns. Their company made every effort to make us feel safe and give us an itinerary that the entire family could enjoy, while staying within our budget. Every hotel, restaurant recommendation, car transfer, and guide that they connected us with was excellent and worked out seamlessly. I would absolutely trust them with any vacation in the future and plan to travel more with them. I was blown away by their organization and thoughtfulness throughout the planning, and even after the trip! Additionally, they were always readily available for questions and would respond very quickly. They were amazing!

I booked a last second trip to Costa Rica a week before leaving. The team allowed me to pick all of the different activities I wanted to do, and they arranged everything. The trip was amazing. The team at explorer passage made it super easy, all I had to do was wake up in the morning and meet the driver in the lobby and the rest was all taken care of. I decided on the last day to extend my trip and they immediately arranged for accommodations and activities. I highly recommend using this company as they are very organized and made traveling extremely easy and stress free.
