      Morocco has been on my bucket list since I was 15. Alt Esc made it so easy. We stayed at wonderful properties and were able to see so much of the country. I'll never forget sunrise and breakfast in the Sahara.

      Just returned from another amazing trip with Alt Esc. The Morocco itinerary kept us busy and included full immersion in the culture, the history, the food, and the sites. I made new friends and reconnected with friends I’ve traveled with on other Alt Esc trips. Highly recommend traveling with Tricia.

      The trip was wonderful. Rwanda is beautiful and the people there are kind. No words to describe being able to see mountain gorillas in their own habitat. Love the manageable group sizes. Fellow travelers were great as well. Another great trip put together by Tricia!!

      The trip was absolutely one of those "trips of a lifetime" for me. I have wanted to visit Easter Island ever since I learned about it. and seeing it with Alt-Escape was very special. We had a compatible group of people and a great trip leader. Our local guide was excellent: extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of the island and the moai. We saw them at sunrise, sunset, stargazing, and during the day! It was fascinating, and I would recommend taking this wonderful trip with Alt-Escape if you're considering it as a destination.

      Not only was the destination fabulous so was the group of 9 women that I shared this experience with. The group was kind, considerate, and flexible. The intinerary made the most of our two locations- Santiago and Easter Island. Our local guides were knowledgeable, and we felt the love they had for their country. The were so proud to share it all with us. Tricia's attention to detail was obvious. The accommodations in both Santiago and Easter Island were well located and the service was excellent.

      This was my first trip with Tricia and it will not be my last. The group experience was wonderful. Tricia took care of everything and I made friends that I know I will see again. Ringing in 2024 in Paradise was magical and a memory I will never forget. Thanks Tricia and AltEscTravel!!

      I have traveled with Tricia/Alt- Esc Travel a few times and each trip has been fantastic! She is always available to answer any questions or help in any way to make sure you have a great experience. I would say, don't hesitate to take a trip with her, you won't regret it.

      I just got back from Alt-Esc Antartica trip aboard the UM Ushuaia. I loved it. Also loved the pre trip to Buenos Aires and Ushuaia. I’d like to stay in Ushuaia longer next time. WHAT a landscape!! Holy cow. The trip was well organized, I got exactly what I paid for. I’ve travelled A LOT and there are other groups that are disorganized, end up with out enough rooms, have too many people, are are a bit of a mess. Alt-Esc is organized and you get exactly what you pay for. I love it!! I’ve now done 3 trips and I’ve signed up for two more!! Thank you Alt-Esc. I work too much and your trips really recharge me!!
