"We loved our Condor trip to Patagonia and the Lake District of Chile. Our group of 20 friends went away quite pleased with the challenges of the hikes, the efficiency of the organization (we were a big group to move around) and the lovely leadership of our guides. Thanks for another memorable ACTIVE vacation."

"Tim was a great guide, he made it seem so easy and relaxed, but I knew he had everything all taken care of. He had lots of enthusiasm, knowledge, great humor and really made us feel relaxed and comfortable. He did an amazing job."
-- Brooke Rawdin (Arlington,VA) April 2007 Tortuga


"I can't say enough good things about Tim. That guy has all the qualities you could ever want in a trip leader. He was always pleasant, relaxed and personable, and at the same time always working hard to make sure our trip ran smoothly. He kept us all on schedule, but still was flexible enough to give us free time or an extra 30 mins lie-in when we begged him! He encouraged people when they were tired, and had loads of patience with us all. I would 100% recommend him as a trip leader - Thanks Tim!"
