Meet Our On-The-Ground Local Insiders

Hanna – Local Insider, Iceland
Hanna loves all things outdoorsy, which makes her the perfect person to lead our Volcanic Iceland Mini Trip. From snowmobiling across a glacier, to walking behind thundering waterfalls and bathing in the luminous waters of the Blue Lagoon, there’s adventure and tranquility to be found on this five-day itinerary.

‘There are always mountains that I want to climb, recently discovered waterfalls I haven’t seen – it’s what I love about living here. There’s so much natural beauty, it would be almost impossible to see it all.’ – Hanna, Local Insider, Iceland | Photo by Adam Jang on Unsplash

Antonio – Local Insider, Ecuador

Antonio did most of his growing up in Quito, but is a country boy at heart. Among the things he most loves about leading our eight-day Adventurous Ecuador Epic Trip is how we move from the inner-city buzz of the Ecuadorian Capital, to the wild tranquility of the Cotopaxi highlands as we take to horseback among volcanic peaks.

Linda & Angelica – Local Insiders, Colombia
Linda and Angelica are both from Bogotá, Colombia’s high-altitude capital. They lead our eight-day Authentic Colombia itinerary, which spans the breadth of the Andes – from Bogotá to Medellín, via whitewater rafting on the Rio Negro, sipping volcanic coffee in Cordillera Central and visiting an orchid farm. They share their love for the diversity, history and accessibility of their home country.

Ana – Local Insider, Portugal

When it comes to the things she most loves about her home country, the food is right up there. ‘We have some of the best food and drink in the world – wine production, cheeses, cured meats… and the people are some of the most gentle and kind you can find.’ It’s no surprise that foodies will find plenty to love about our 10-day Complete Portugal Epic Trip, which meanders its way through the country from Porto to Lisbon via the Douro Valley.

Onur – Local Insider, Turkey

With over 20 years’ guiding experience, Onur knows Turkey like the back of his hand. He’s helped us put together the comprehensive 12-day itinerary of our Majestic Turkey Epic Trip, which covers the best of the big-hitter and off-the-beaten-path sights, from the bazaars of Istanbul to the blazing beaches of the Antalya coast. His favourite spot? Cappadocia, with its magical ‘fairy chimney’ rock formations.
