I did the Belize trip in December 2019 and had a great time! My favorite part about the trip was that I could actually relax and enjoy my vacation the entire time and didn’t have to worry about anything! I’m typically the person in my friend group who plans everything and was so glad that Travendly had everything set up—from our hotel, to our activities, and even our meals. My toughest decision on the trip was which drink to order while chilling at the bar! Our guide was so outgoing and personable, which made the whole group feel comfortable from the start and helped everyone get to know each other. Would definitely recommend Travendly!read more

Travendly is a great company. I met some really awesome people and keep in touch with them to this day! I felt like the trips were reasonably priced (especially compared to their competitors) and the excursions we went on genuinely surprised me with how much fun they were.Our trip leader, Samara, was really the glue that made our group “into” a group. It was a bit awkward at first since we were all strangers, but her literal force of personality made us open up to each other and actually get to know each other. In such a short amount of time we made friends that have endured years later. It’s really a credit to her. Not to gush further, but Samara’s connections to the locals also made the trip FAR more fun. We were well treated whenever Samara was around, and were definitely pointed to the right places that didn’t try to price gouge tourists.All in all, 10/10read more

I just went on the 11 day Argentina trip Dec 26th-Jan 5th 2020, I cannot recommend this trip enough! If you’re thinking about it, don’t, just book it immediately! I have mostly done long (1-2 month) solo travels and my budget has always been on the most minimal of funds, so this was huge for me to go outside of that for just 11 days. But honestly, knowing what I now know about this trip, I would have easily paid more! The group was incredible, they perfectly matched us with the roommate survey they did, the itinerary was incredibly planned and executed, you could tell there was so much thought and planning that went into it. We were constantly on the go, which is what I love about travel, as well as there was so much I wanted to see in Argentina and this trip covered it all! Pablo our guide was such a luxury, he anticipated our needs, was flexible and accommodating, was always calm and completely took away any anxiety/fear that could potentially go along with being in a foreign country. Not to mention he was always so much fun and his jokes and humor endless! Bringing in the new year with our group in Buenos Aires was so much fun, truly started off 2020 right with a new travel family that will never be forgotten. I am a huge hiker and adventurer so the horseback riding trip in Mendoza is a MUST DO! I highly advise being in decent shape for the hikes in Patagonia, they were tough, but worth every step of the way. The views were literally to die for! I have never seen such beauty before like I did on the laguna de los tres hike to Fitz Roy, as well as the Perito Moreno glacier hike! This is an adventurers DREAM! The people in Argentina were so warm and welcoming and I always felt like family everywhere we went. The culture is so rich here and not to mention the wine, steak and empanadas were absolutely everything! Honestly, planning my trip back there as we speak so book that trip right now!read more

I had a trip of a lifetime with Travendly in Iceland. Besides the amazing sights and landmarks we saw (and about a bagillion waterfalls), the other people on the trip were amazing. instant BFFs. Travendly really cultivates an inclusive and bonding experience for its travelers. As a solo traveler it was exactly what I was looking for. I’m looking forward to my next trip with Travendly.read more

I went on my first Travendly trip to Iceland over New Year’s and had an incredible, unforgettable experience. The trip really allowed for a chance to see the beauty of Iceland, satisfy a craving for adventure, and connect with people in a way that all felt very seamless. Highlights were definitely the glacier hike and seeing the Northern Lights. It was so comforting knowing we had a guide to show us around, do the driving, be in charge of the timing of the trip, and be of assistance in the case of any unexpected snags. It helped that our guide David was incredibly fun and personable, which really amplified everyone’s experience. You can tell that the itinerary of the trip has been carefully thought out and refined over time. Having booked the trip just a month before leaving, I found the packing list and ability to ask questions beforehand extremely helpful.I traveled with a close friend of mine, but the trip is easily set up to go by yourself and feel very much a part of the group. We enjoyed bonding with the group in van rides, excursions, group dinners, and lodging that facilitated spending time together in the evenings. The size of the group (13 plus the guide) was perfect for having plenty of different personalities to connect with, but not being so large that you get lost in the crowd. Overall, it was a fun and adventurous group to travel with. I will definitely be back with Travendly for another trip in the future!read more

I went on the Portugal trip in October 2019 and had a amazing time! My expectations in all aspects of the trip were far exceeded. Travendly did a great job putting together this trip. The structured activities led by local guides added a lot of value to the trip and made the experience in Portugal feel much more personal and engaging. Our trip leader was also very knowledgeable, organized, and fun. The trip went very smoothly and everyone had a great time together as new friends. Portugal is a beautiful and friendly country. I would highly recommend booking a trip with Travendly!read more

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I went to Thailand (winter tour) in April 2019 for 11 days with tour guide Oi and 8 other girls. I haven’t been on a tour group with others by myself so I was really hesitant to travel over 6,000 miles to meet up with total strangers, but it was worth the trip! Oi was an amazing tour guide and you can tell she’s passionate about her job and her country, she makes Thailand come alive with her stories and anecdotes.I would highly recommend a Travendly trip to Thailand, there are some amazing sites to see (like the Ayutthuya ruins in Bangkok) and places to visit (like Baan Chang Elephant Park or Khao Sok National Park). Oi did a great job making sure we were all comfortable and got to do what we wanted, eat at some amazing places, and all in all have a great time!Travendly did a great job making sure I was prepared for my trip and we even had a pre trip google hangout where I could meet Oi and the woman who coordinated our trip, Alison, and ask any concerning/pressing questions. It was very well organized and I felt very prepared when I set off for Thailand. Will definitely go on another trip with Travendly soon!read more

I went to Iceland with Travendly on their last summer trip just a few days ago and had an absolute blast!! I was hesitant to travel with a group as I have become accustomed to traveling with close friends but this was so much more than I had ever expected. The trip was organized so well, every detail was planned out perfectly and efficiently. Our tour guide in Iceland was wonderful and put up with all of us and our needs. The group was wonderful, we all got along so well and supported each other through some of the very challenging hikes. Jon, was great in responding to my questions…even my silly ones. I would strongly recommend this group and I am already looking at my next trip with Travendly!!read more

Just did the Greece trip last week and Travendly absolutely nailed it. Everything prior to the trip was well communicated and explained. Samara was our tour guide and is one of the most fun-loving and enthusiastic people I have ever met. You could tell instantly that she is passionate about her job and is trying to make sure everyone on the trip has a trip of a lifetime. She along with a few others there have no doubt become friends that I’ll have for the rest of my life and it truly was an experience I’ll never forget. Already looking at planning my second trip with Travendly.read more

I just happened to find Travendly while searching for a travel group geared towards my stage of life. I love to travel and see new places but want to be safe and smart and sometimes you just can’t get friends or family to join you! So I took a leap of faith and signed up for the 6 day summer Iceland trip and I am so glad that I did! It was so well-organized and we had a full itinerary without it seeming too rushed. I felt like I got a great taste of Iceland (so much so that I would love to go back some winter and see it again). Our tour guide, David, was fantastic and my fellow travelers and I were all around the same age and enjoyed the shared experience together. Travendly provided detailed itineraries and suggested packing lists and it was so nice to not have to do all the research for a change. I hope to do another trip soon! Thanks again!read more

I booked a 5-day Cuba trip to Travendly and I must say that it really exceeded my expectations. The itinerary was very well planned, was also flexible and allowed some free time to yourself or to rest, and it also got better day by day as far as events and choices of restaurants. Jonathan & Alison are great at communication and are very open to all questions prior to the trip. Jeremy, our trip leader was very friendly, easy going, and knowledgeable. Upon my return, I highly suggested this specific trip to my friends and family.read more

As a two-time Travendly alum, I have to say that I love this company! They make it so easy for young professionals to travel with like-minded people by curating amazing itineraries and coordinating accommodations and transportation during the trips. All you have to do is book your flights and enjoy your vacation! So, if you’re open to meeting new people and exploring new countries, then I highly recommend checking out one of Travendly’s incredible trips!!read more

I just got back a few weeks ago from the 6 day Iceland trip. I was not sure what to expect, I had never been on a pre-planned trip or a trip where I did not know anyone else. I can honestly say this was one of the best trips I have ever been on. Iceland was breathtaking – from endless waterfalls to the constant, gorgeous horse running past our van, I want to keep it all frozen in my memory forever. Our tour guide, Jon, went far beyond what I could have expected. Not only was he there to help us crush some amazing hikes and keep us safe, but he showed us the best restaurants, secret views, and was not just patient, but he encouraged dozens of epic photo shoots. Jon took Travendly’s itinerary and added the icing on the cake to make it the trip of a lifetime. Needless to say, I am so happy I took the risk and decided to go on this trip. I went in with a group of strangers and came out with a fierce group of travel companions. I cannot recommend Travendly’s Iceland trip more – you’ll make amazing memories, and if you’re lucky some great friends too.read more

Going on the 6 day trip to Iceland this summer with Travendly was probably the best decision I have made this year. Everyone on the trip was friendly, open, and excited to try new things, which worked so well, since Jon was the best guide and was so helpful in teaching (and showing us) all the wonderful things about Iceland. I recommend this trip for anyone who wants to see beautiful sights, learn to make strangers into best friends, or anyone who wants to challenge themselves physically on some of the incredibly breathtaking hikes. Would do it again in a heartbeat.read more

Thank you Travendly for the best trip of my life! It was a spontaneous decision for me to join the 6-days Summer Iceland trip with Travendly. I did a lot of research before I submitted my application, and trust me, that was the hardest part! Travendly provide me with a detail list of instruction on what to do/bring, the only hard work I have to do is show up at the airport. The trip itself was also amazing and life changing. Jon – our group leader, was super friendly, honest, and also knowledgeable about everything Iceland! He took excellent care of us and satisfied all our random requests as well. And the group, omg, I still can’t believe 6 strangers can such instant connection! Iceland was lovely to visit during summer: the landscape was beautiful and the waterfalls were breathtaking; the hikes were challenging but also very satisfying; the food was amazing; and the weather was PERFECT. But what makes this trip so unique and unforgettable was the people!! I serious have the best trip of my life because of Travendly. Highly recommended it! Can’t wait to do another trip with my new BFFs.read more

Just returned from our 5 day trip to Iceland. This trip has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. There is something interesting about traveling to a place you’ve never been with complete strangers. Jon, our group leader was absolutely amazing, has so much knowledge about Iceland in general and is someone who truly cares to make this trip one of the best experiences you’ve had. Iceland was beyond words, food was incredible, waterfalls, mountains and hikes really exceeded my expectations. My group was fantastic and can’t wait to join them again on the next adventure.Travendly was a great choice. Very quick with email responses and a nicely organized schedule. Well paced itinerary and very personalized attention. Rather than a tour agency, felt more like a group of friends decided to go on a trip. Highly recommend it!read more

I was really nervous about traveling with a tour group for the first time but now thanks to Travendly I’ve discovered a whole new way to travel! I recently toured Croatia with Morgan as the trip leader and had the time of my life. Morgan was the BEST guide. She is always (I mean ALWAYS) positive, happy, and excited to show her group new sights. She was knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and so much fun. The trip itself was a blast and a great mix of sightseeing, relaxing, and nightlife. I loved the itinerary and didn’t feel that I missed anything on my 8 day trip. I highly recommend the Croatia trip and will definitely be traveling with Travendly again in the future 🙂read more

I’ve just came back from a trip in Croatia, and I can definitely say, that was one of my best trips ever!!! Starting on the Itinerary, you have 9 days in 03 incredibles places, just the right amount of time in each of them, no rushing and really beautiful. You will have city timing, waterfalls landscaping, island dropping of, and party environments. The size of the group is just perfect, I was the only Portuguese and had so much fun with the American Gang! I had such a great time, the group was really nice! This trip is one of kind, and is really well planned and thinked, all of this could not obviously be done, if it wasn’t for our amazing, rock star, smiley, full of energy, party style… Ms Aussie Morgan Georg – Tour Guide!!! She was truly one of kind! First year working in Travendly, and you can bet you will not find a better guide than she!!! I really loved her, and think she did an awesome job! So congrats Travendly, you have exceeded my expectations, will definitely recommend and spread the word about you guys. All the best Rita Pintoread more

I cannot say enough good things about this company! I recently returned from the Peru trip and could not have hoped for a better trip. It was great meeting a new group of people and we all meshed really well. By the end of the trip, it felt like I’d known everyone for much longer. The entire trip was well organized and unexpected problems were handled quickly and efficiently. I was a little worried because I am a very picky eater, but all of the restaurants chosen had a wide variety of options to suit everyone’s needs. Brenda, our trip leader, and Matt, our local guide, were both excellent at their jobs and I would recommend either of them for future trips! I’m already looking for my next Travendly adventure!read more

I just got back from the 6-day Northern Lights Iceland trip and I can’t say enough positive things! It was a trip to remember. Travendly created an amazing itinerary and setup ways for us to communicate as a group and were very communicative in answering any questions prior to the trip. Their business model felt very personal and showed they wanted to make sure we got the most out of our trip and were properly prepared. The packing list was a must have for Iceland weather! The small group size with other like-minded travelers is such a great idea. I’m so glad I found Travendly!

I joined the Cuba (5 day) trip last summer and most recently the inaugural Morocco (9 day) trip! Both were amazing experiences! Travendly offers a place for solo travelers to meet wonderful young professionals and visit truly fantastic countries. The groups I joined were 7/8 people which was a perfect size to make sure everyone felt included and got to know each other well. Having been on the first tour of Morocco, this is an experience you cannot miss! I literally would hop on a plane today and go do it all over again! Our tour guide Ali was extremely knowledgeable of the history and culture of Morocco. He created a fun atmosphere and was open to all kinds of questions. You couldn’t ask for anyone better to show you around and if you’re lucky teach you how to truly be Moroccan 😉 The tour takes you through numerous parts of the country which were all unique from each other and offered a new perspective on life in Morocco. Be prepared for a fair amount of driving on the trip, but it offers you the chance to see much more of the country. I expected to sleep or read during most of the drive but didn’t want to do either for fear of missing something outside! Don’t waste your time going to the blue city of Chefchaouen or you will not have a chance to see Fes (which is a must see!). Plus, there are blue walls in Fes. The optional hot air balloon ride in Marrakech is a must do! Look forward to booking another Travendly adventure in the future!read more

Our leader Samara was truly incredible – so energetic, passionate, and friendly. She really made our trip what it was and made everyone feel included and part of the group. She also was very informed about everything on the island, and ensured we received the true Belize experience. I was also impressed with the planning and organization leading up to the trip to make everyone feel comfortable and prepared ahead of time – including the Google hangout, WhatsApp group, roommate questionnaire, etc. The trip had a perfect mix of planned activities and free time, which is just what I was looking for!!

Truly one of the best travel experiences of my life!!!! I traveled to Thailand March 2018 and an unbelievable experience. This was my first group solo travel experience and I cannot express how fantastic this trip was. Travendly does such a fantastic job from start to finish. I loved this trip so much I will be traveling with Travendly again in March 2019 to Morocco. The Thailand trip is a trip of a lifetime. Our guides (1 from Thailand one from the U.S.) were phenomenal. Oi, our Thai guide was the sweetest and most attentive person I could have imagined. Not only does she have an amazing knowledge of the history and culture of Thailand, she is fun, energetic and goes out of her way on a daily basis to make sure everyone is taken care of. I have a true admiration for “Oi” Naphat Oi Pradubsri and will have a lifelong connection with her for sure!!!The trip itself just seemed to get better and better each day. My favorite part was definitely swimming with the elephants. We visited a sanctuary that takes in retired elephants, and we spent time feeding, them, walking them, and then literally SWIMMING with them. The guides kept this a secret and we were all extremely excited that this was part of trip!!! Truly amazing.I cannot say enough about this Thailand trip, our guides, and Travelendly, which is why I did not hesitate a second to book my second trip. One truly unexpected aspect of this trip was the close connections I developed to the other travelers. All were young professionals with an eager desire to travel and have fun. I will have life long last friendships with several of the people who shared this amazing experience.If you haven’t already – BOOK THIS TRIP or try another with Travendly ASAP!!!read more

It was nice not having to plan anything and we saw everything I wanted to do – even the Northern Lights and horses! Our guides, Jessica and Gunnthor, had us in tears from laughing and were the BEST tour guides I could ever ask for. I enjoyed getting to know new people and we all got along great.

So it’s been a little over a month since my trip, and I honestly can say I can’t wait for my next trip with Travendly. I went on the Greece trip, and it was the trip of a lifetime. It was my first time traveling solo, and since I wasn’t ready yet to do it all entirely on my own, I decided to do it through a travel group. I found Travendly through a Facebook group, they were talking about their positive experience. I did more research and what interested me about Travendly was that it was a small group, it focused on young professionals and compared to some other groups, the prices were very reasonable. I loved how the only thing literally I had to worry about was my flight. Travendly handled all of the details – the itinerary, the packing list, excursion options, etc. They also did a fantastic job with pairing our group together – we all did everything as a group, and truly enjoyed being around each other so much that we’ve planned a reunion in a few months! LOL. The travel leader, Jessica, was excellent. She ensured everyone was having a great time, and she knew the most amazing spots to take pictures. I’m horrible at that, so I appreciated that so much!! So if you’re wondering whether you should or not, like I was, just DO IT! The trips are reasonable, there are so many different trip options and activity options, and lastly you literally just have to show up. I can’t wait until my next trip, thank you Travendly!read more

I went on the 9 day trip to Greece this summer. After doing some research on which company to travel through, I will say that I definitely made the right choice! Travendly was the perfect mix of fun and adventure. I was so happy to meet some young professionals that had similar interests as me. I loved the trip size- there were 12 of us and I felt like I really got to know everyone. Prior to this trip, I have never traveled alone before and was a little anxious about doing so. After spending a few hours in Greece, I quickly made friends. Everyone on the trip was so outgoing and friendly. Everything we did was planned out, so I hardly had to think about anything, which made the trip so much more enjoyable. Our trip leader, Jessica, made the trip fun for everyone. I did not feel pressured at all to participate in any activities that I did not want to. She did a great job organizing all of us, and making sure we were all doing what we wanted to do. Jessica took us to great restaurants and helped us find the best places to take photos. The hotels that we stayed in were all very nice. The food was obviously amazing and the views were stunning, but the best part of my trip was meeting all of my amazing new friends. I couldn’t stop laughing and smiling the entire trip, and I owe it all to Travendly! I will definitely be booking another trip through Travendly in the near future.read more

They are good at helping the group get to know each other and showing each member a great time, experiencing Cuban food, art, and people. I would totally go again. Worth every penny.read more

Amazing company, affordable. JUST got home from Iceland. Took good care of me during a small mishap but our guide David was amazing. The food is just.. wow!!! If you are thinking of it- do it. However, I would like to mention the final hike that is 6 miles is VERY tough- I recommend practicing and not using trail runners but a sturdy hiking boot.read more

I just recently returned from the 6 day summer Iceland trip. I was a little nervous as this was my first time traveling without friends or family, but I had an amazing time! The trip was incredibly well-planned and organized. I knew exactly what to pack and each day’s itinerary was strategically planned out. We saw so much in the six days we were there, and yet I felt completely relaxed because all the details were taken care of. The group of people I traveled with were great. We had a lot of fun getting to know each other and laughed throughout the entire trip! Our leader, Jon, went out of his way to make sure everyone was having a good time, answered any questions we had, and helped out in any way needed. Iceland was beautiful! I definitely recommend traveling to Iceland with Travendly!read more

I am currently sitting on my couch suffering from the worst vacation hangover because I just returned from the BEST Peruvian vacation. I absolutely loved traveling with Travendly! The trip was very well organized and Jessica took the stress out of trip coordination. We had an amazing Peruvian tour guide too who answered all of my questions. I loved being on such an active trip filled with hikes and exploring. The other travelers were awesome too! We all got along great and even though I live across the country, I know I will keep in touch with them. The train ride from Machu Picchu to Cusco had me laughing so hard I cried. I can’t thank Travendly enough!read more

I recently got back from my first trip with Travendly to Croatia! I say first because I foresee it being one of many!! I was hesitant about joining a travel group initially, but I’m so happy with the experience. I had planned trips on my own before, but nothing compared to this. It was so relaxing to have someone preplan almost everything down to a T (I say “almost” because we did get a lot of free time and were able to do what we wanted as well!). We would get off a boat and there would be our taxi driver taking us to our next apartment. Dinners were amazing and we always got the best spot in the house! The excursions were unbelievable. We did kayaking, white water rafting, boating *which was my favorite, and lots of hiking. Jon was always making sure everything ran smoothly and that everyone was enjoying themselves. This was a trip of a lifetime, I cannot thank Jon enough for all he did!!read more

I recently returned from the 6-day summer Iceland trip. I was pretty nervous to sign up to travel with a group of strangers, but the whole experience really blew my expectations out of the water! All of the people on my trip were amazing, and it was great to leave with a new group of friends 🙂 Jon put together a killer itinerary and made sure we were all super prepared for the weather and any outdoor activities. We saw a lot of things off the beaten path that I never would have found on my own which was really cool. If you are thinking of signing up, just do it! You won’t regret it. I hope to sign up again soon.read more

On a whim, and more than a bit spontaneously, I signed up for a Travendly group tour to Iceland – and I cannot think of a better way to have experienced a foreign country. Travendly’s philosophy and mandate when it comes to traveling are so seamlessly aligned with so many other travelers: to have great experiences with other people, on the road often less traveled. Before even getting to Iceland, I felt like I knew the others in my group. Travendly ensures you’re comfortable, safe, and relaxed throughout the entirety of your trip. I felt incredibly well-taken care of, which was exceptionally important to me because this was my first time traveling without friends. During our time in Iceland, there were so many stops we made that I know I would have never seen had I gone here by myself. Travendly knows the secret spots, away from crowds of tourists. It was a wonderful, rewarding experience – and I can’t wait to travel with Travendly again very, very soon!!read more

Travendly was exactly what I was looking for in a trip to Peru, and then some. I had never done a group trip before, but I will certainly be going again! The group got along swimmingly, my roommate and I were matched perfectly. Our Travendly guide, Jessica, was amazing. My connecting flight was canceled, and I didn’t end up arriving until 1 am the next morning. Jess stayed in touch the entire time, rearranged a transfer for me from Cusco to the hotel, and stayed up to make sure I arrived safely. We got to see so much in Peru beyond Machu Pichu, and it was all amazing. We even made it to the top of Rainbow Mountain! The value of this trip cannot be understated. Totally worth every minute! We were so worn out from all our daytime activities that most of us didn’t go out partying at night, which worked perfectly for me. I cannot recommend Travendly highly enough. 🙂read more

I met some amazing people, and because the company has expanded beyond the NY area, I now have new people/places to visit in the states 🙂 The smooth execution of the trip was well worth the financial investment. It was so nice not to spend time researching before the trip. I am looking forward to seeing what new trips will be added in the future.read more

I had the pleasure of joining a Travendly trip to Iceland in March and it was hands down, a trip of a lifetime. Iceland lived up to its reputation of truly being a magical place. What made this trip so special was not only the beautiful country itself, but the group of people I got to experience it with. Taking a solo trip I knew I always wanted to do, but finding the right travel group was the big question. I had heard of some of the others out there, but to me they all felt one in the same and quite frankly, too big of groups. I wanted that balance of an adventurous itinerary coupled with a smaller, more intimate group setting. And that’s where Travendly delivered. They did a fantastic job crafting an organized, fun packed 6 day agenda that hit all the Iceland hotspots while cultivating the perfect blend of personalities. Big shout out to our group leader Jess. If you have the pleasure of taking a trip with her you will be sure to have a good time! By the end of the trip, I made 7 new friends and memories that will last a lifetime. If you’re contemplating a solo trip or looking for a fun group of people to travel to amazing places with, Travendly is the only way to go!read more

Our trip to Iceland was well organized and had a great time. From the time of booking ,the company takes the time to explain any detail that you’d want to know about there trips and the booking process was very easy. The guides on our trip Jessica and Gunther were very experienced answering any questions we had. But most importantly they really went the extra mile to ensure everyone was having a great time, were very enthusiastic about what they did and they really made the trip fun. I’ve been on many guided trips with different companies, and I can see that Travendly goes a step further then the others in that the guides and the companies customer service is more personalized since it’s a smaller company. they really care about what they do, and there customers.read more

After seeing a FaceBook ad pop up for Travendly I took a leap and booked a trip to Iceland. I went 12/6-12/12. It exceeded all my expectations to say the least! Iceland was such an amazing place but what made it a wonderful experience was how well everything was planned out. The communication leading up the trip was excellent and paying for everything was simple. I knew when I arrived everything was all set and I just needed to enjoy myself and stay warm!I could never have planned out such a jam-packed itinerary that enabled us to see all the sights, while having two guides with us the entire time ensuring everything was perfect. Jon, the owner of Travendly was our guide and he is the best! Even before the trip started he was already communicating regarding adjusting our itinerary to be able to maximize our likelihood of seeing the Northern Lights. He really knows his stuff and his photography skills were amazing! I didn’t have to worry about capturing the lights but now have pictures I am having blown up for my home! The local guide, Hallie was quite a character and made for a very entertaining time. He knew all the sites and how to get us up close and personal to really experience all the beauty. He was able to take us inside an ice cave and right up to a beautiful waterfall. My favorite part was that we were always on the move but that I could relax in between stops (sometimes a quick catnap). I feel like my time there was 100% maximized and I left seeing everything I wanted to and more. We were never rushed and it was always so thoughtful as to what we would be seeing and where we would be for sunset, which was around 4pm! The combination of Jon and Hallie was perfect. Travendly made sure that all accommodations were clean and the itinerary was well mapped out. I am so happy I decided to take this solo trip, everyone was so friendly and we all had the same level of enthusiasm, which I believe made for a great trip!Overall, I had an amazing time which was the goal and I had to very little pre-planning and everything was all set. The price was fair and I felt that I made the right decision to go with Travendly. I also always felt safe as a single/solo female traveler and met other amazing people in the process. I will have these memories forever-thank you Jon and Travendly!read more

I went on the Iceland Northern Lights trip last week and it was one of the best trips I’ve had thanks to Travendly. 1) Everything is planned for you so you don’t have to worry about missing something essential or planning a trip in your busy life…you just get to show up and enjoy it. I felt confident that we saw and did everything and didn’t miss a thing. 2) They were extremely helpful in packing and organizing the little bit that we did have to do on our own. 3) Jon and our Icelandic tour guide were fun, extremely trustworthy, easy going, and easy to be around. 4) I was nervous about doing a tour group with solo travelers, but Travendly did a great job of making sure it was a compatible group. My stomach hurt from laughing. Met fantastic people and want to do another trip like this again soon! 5) Iceland was the most beautiful place I’ve been to and cannot recommend it enough! You won’t be disappointed!read more

Travendly definitely understands their destinations and it shows in their recommended packing lists…so pay attention to those. The security of the group, the accommodations and the transportation were all excellent. I couldn’t imagine a better way to explore Iceland and with the persistence and planning from Travendly, getting to experience the Northern lights was made possible! If you are looking for an adventure with a great organization that ensures a personal touch, definitely check out Travendly.read more

I just arrived back from the Iceland Northern Light trip and I highly, highly recommend a) this trip and b) Travendly. This experience delivered everything I wanted (clean and comfortable accommodation, well planned itinerary, like minded group of people to travel with and new experiences) and things I didn’t know I needed so much (an AMAZING person and tour guide Jessica, new friends and so so much laughter).The whole experience was very well organized, from the meet and greet before the trip, to the first meal on the trip, to photo sharing and connections after the trip. I always felt very well taken care of. A great package and excellent value. If you have Jessica as your tour guide you are sure to have a fantastic trip. Jessica, hope you are not ‘mad’ at this review (inside joke). If you are interested in group travel, want to see new places and meet new people, don’t hesitate, just book!read more

I can’t say enough good things about this group!! I went to Cuba with Travendly in July 2017 and it was one of the BEST experiences I’ve ever had!! Everything was so well organized; we literally didn’t have to worry about a thing once we were there!! Our tour guides, Jess and Jordan, were very thorough, informative, and so much fun!!! Everyone in our group bonded so well and we have all stayed close even after our trip ended. Our experience in Cuba was truly unique and one that I will never forget. I hope to go back on another adventure with Travendly and would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering a trip.Thank you again for the wonderful experience!!

Can’t wait to book my next vacation with Travendly! Adventure awaits!read more

Went on the Cuba 8 day + extension in July 2017. This was my first group trip and I had an incredible time! Our guide Jessica was great – she made sure all participants had everything they needed, already had all the reservations for activities/food, kept us on our toes; even at night at really cool spots and made sure the entire group was safe and having a fun time. I came in to the trip having no expectations (since it was Cuba) and Travendly not only provided me with expectations but exceeded them! Accommodations were good; I really liked the fact that we stayed in private casas (very similar to a hostel) because we were able to support and interact with the locals. We really did so many different activities – cooking class; went to a tobacco farm, salsa class, classic car ride..and the list just goes on and on! Would definitely recommend Jessica since she is so excited about these trips and loves the whole process – being your photographer, showing the participants her favorite places, introducing you guys to special drinks and/or meals unique to the city in Cuba and working collaboratively with our Cuban tour guide to make sure all plans go smoothly. Would 100% take another trip with Travendly.. just need to decide where and check if Jessica is the tour guide 🙂read more

I had always assumed that my knowledge of Cuba would only be comprised of the history classes I took in school and videos on YouTube. I never imagined that I would actually get the opportunity to travel to Cuba and experience it in person. Jon, Jessica, and our local guide Jordan created a fantastic itinerary that allowed our group to truly venture beyond history books and newsreels and partake in so much of the Cuban culture. From the salsa lessons to the tobacco farm tour our group never missed a beat and it was all thanks to the Travendly team!read more

I just got back from Travendly’s 9 day trip to Croatia and I have to say it was a trip of a lifetime! And here are the reasons why…..1) The people – Travendly held an in person orientation a month before the trip where participants met one another and were able to share their expectations about the trip. The conversations continued on a Whats App group chat, allowing us to become further acquainted. My group used the chat frequently so we were able to hit the ground running once we arrived in Croatia. Our first dinner felt as if we had been friends already for awhile filled with laughter and inside jokes. We continue to speak on the group chat and have begun planning several get-togethers. I was skeptical about only traveling with only 6 other people, but Travendly did a great job of vetting the young professionals for this the trip. The small group meshed so well and we really got to know each other better than on many other trips I’ve taken in the past with more people through Contiki. 2) Activities – At the end of the trip we all tried to pick our favorite activity but none of us could. Everyday seemed perfect from start to finish. The activities were well planed, allowing time to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. You always had a choice of what you wanted to do. For example, one day a few of us explored a new beach in Brac while, two others went to a monastery. Some of the highlights of the trip were: Kayaking – we stopped along the way to go snorkeling as well Wine tasting – paired with a light bite to eat Havr boating – we had a boat out for the day where we explored two caves and an amazing beach Exploring beaches – days spent tanning, swimming, doing yoga and playing volleyball Hula Hula club – A day Club at Havr where we enjoyed dancing on tables and watching the sun set Carpe Diem – a nightclub in Havr that’s on its own private Island, WHAT?!?3) Food–The quality of the meals were consistently high and highlighted the best that Croatia had to offer. We dined on fresh seafood, steak, pasta with truffles ETC. Even lunches of fresh pizza pies and baked goods for dessert (ones Jon surprised us with as a special treat) were spectacular.4) Jon and his staff – I was definitely that person who emailed constantly before the trip, asking hundreds of questions. Jon and his staff were great at getting back to me and providing me with the support I needed to calm my nerves of being a solo traveler. Jon was my group leader and he was amazing, always smiling and providing a fun, calming presence to the group. Jon was able to alter our schedule when we wanted to change things up and had the ability to create a stress free environment. This company is Jon’s baby and he really has perfected the art of group travel. I have already started talking with him about planning my next trip. I can’t imagine traveling any other way in the near future!read more

I just returned from the Iceland trip led my Jon -who was our trip leader and owner of Travendly. I can’t express how organized and amazing my trip was. I am a solo traveler and didn’t want to really plan anything. This was a great option. Jon sent google docs of everything I needed to know about the trip and started a WhatsApp chat so that I could communicate with all the participants before we started the trip These put my mind at ease and helped us bond.The trip was planned out clearly and made sense. We followed our itinerary, but there was room to stay longer or shorter at each stop. The local tour guide was fabulous! We were also able to stop throughout the trip if we saw something we were interested in and plans were never set in stone. If the group decided they wanted to change dinner or something along the trip, then it changed. I not only would recommend this trip, I plan to take more trips with Travendly.read more

We just returned from the Iceland summer tour and had a great vacation!! We absolutely loved the Glymur waterfall hike followed by a relaxing trip to the Blue Lagoon. The volcanic ash beach was beautiful and made for another highlight. The accommodations were excellent, as we stayed in a nice apartment that was centrally located. Jon even served eggs, yogurt, cereal, and coffee in the morning. The restaurants that we ate at were also excellent. The group consisted of 10 young professionals, and everyone was very nice. This was my second trip with Travendly (I was on their first Cuba trip!), and I highly recommend it for those interested in curated and group travel.read more

Just returned from a 9 day 8 night Greece island hopping trip led by Jon, our group leader and owner of Travendly. To say I had an amazing time is an understatement.As a first time solo traveler, I was a bit nervous to go on this trip on my own, but I found that my group was more than prepared for everything we’d encounter in Greece. We received PDF files on our itinerary, what to pack, what bars/restaurants we’d be interested in… etc.Everything was planned out seamlessly by Jon with enough flexibility to change it up if we chose to do so. He emphasized that it was “our trip” and made sure to check in on us individually to make sure our experience was great and to our expectations. Jon was always laid back and fun, but also knowledgeable and professional.Over all, I was looking for a tour company where I wasn’t with a younger crowd drinking and partying all day/night. Furthermore, I also didn’t want to be with an older crowd that I might not have much in common with. Travendly offered a happy medium. I liked that there was an application process that placed me with travelers that had similar expectations/interests. I also loved the small groups (there was 8 of us on our trip) because we all became super close by the end. Most of all, I love that we all live within the tri-state area which means I may have developed life-long friendships with people right around the corner from me. 🙂 We were able to sightsee, eat delicious food, have a relaxing time on the beach, enjoy the nightlife and even hike a mountain.I cannot express how happy I am to have taken this trip. It was life-changing! I would definitely book with Travendly again and again and again. 🙂read more

Go on your next trip with Travendly.I’m more of a solo backpacker type who stays in hostels and does my own thing. But going to Cuba with this company was definitely one of my better decisions. Every part of the trip was a fun experience, and scheduled with a great mixture of sight seeing, guided tours, farms, factories, cultural sites, night time activities and more. Plus resting time.My trips host was Matt. Matt really knew what he was doing, and kept us on track. Even when the weather took an unexpected turn with rain, he had things for us to do or improvised well. Whenever someone in the group asked for help with something, he would always say yas, and figure it out.Of course this review wouldn’t be complete without mentioning Jon. Jon was the first person I spoke with at Travendly, and was Amazing about organizing everything and keeping me (and I’m sure everyone) updated all the time. As well as always being pretty fast to immediate with email responses. Its only been a day since I got back from my trip, and he’s already emailed me asking what I thought about the whole thing, and if I have some, Questions Comments Suggestions or Concerns.Genuine company with genuine people. I will likely go on another trip with Travendly. Keep up the good work!read more

I was looking for a unique and exciting travel experience with fellow New Yorkers when I came across Travendly. Travendly did a great job planning a fantastic itinerary in Iceland (Sept 2016)! We saw many amazing sites and the flexible yet organized structure worked really well. We saw the Golden Circle, numerous waterfalls, volcanic beaches, geysers, Icelandic horses, countless rainbows and more. The group was also super nice and we had a great time bonding during all the activities and down time in the house. The house was a very modern, clean and comfortable duplex with balconies and wifi. Overall it was a perfect way to see a new country and make new friends from your own city without having to worry about the logistics of planning an itinerary. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and I hope to do another Travendly trip myself!read more

Cuba- 5-day trip with Travendly–a fantastic experience!A big bonus about a trip with Travendly is that you’re very well prepared in advance. We got several documents from Jon with very important information before the trip (make sure you read those!), and even had an orientation meeting a few weeks before going, where he made sure that all of our questions and concerns were addressed. The intention was to have minimum surprises with maximum enjoyment, and I definitely appreciated all the thoughtful advice when we got to Cuba. It was also a great idea to meet the group before the trip, so we just reconnected when we got to Havana and were ready for our adventures together! What most surprised me was the amount of things we did and saw in the short period of time we were in Cuba. The itinerary was very well planned and well packed, with a lot of variety, and a chance to get to know the essentials of the place (and to maybe come back again!). We walked a ton around Havana and really got the feel of the city, went for a ride in those gorgeous classic cars, took a trip to an organic cigar farm (if you’re planning on having a cigar, this is the one you should try!), had a cooking class (and a mojito-making class!), a salsa lesson, heard live music and saw local artists’ work, and went out at night to fun places (make sure you get to Fabrica de Arte Cubano–a three story warehouse with actual art exhibitions, live music, drinks, and a very cool vibe). Our great local guide, Saul, answered all our many questions about life in this beautiful country, and was a true connector to the people and the culture, guiding us around during the day, and suggesting great places to go (and going with us!) at night. Our wonderful trip host Liliana made sure that we always knew what was going on, and adjusted the itinerary to best accommodate everything that we wanted to do and see, while still keeping us on track.I really enjoyed this trip, will definitely be keeping in touch with many people from our group, and would highly recommend anyone who wants to experience Cuba to go with Travendly!read more

As someone who travels often and enjoys the logistical planning behind my trips, I was unsure of what to expect with a trip that had a lot of structure. I am SO glad that I attended the April ’17 Cuba 5 day trip! The sites and experiences that were chosen for us (including a cooking class and a salsa lesson!), as well as the restaurants that we visited were well thought out and allowed me to just relax on my vacation and put my energy into getting to know my fellow travel mates and being present in the beautiful environment. I learned a lot about the history of the country and felt like I had an authentic experience, which does not always happen with group trips. Also, the option of the extended day allowed me to get even more out of the trip. I would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone, especially if you are well traveled, but looking for a new experience. I left with friends that I would hang out with in NYC and memories that will stay with me forever.read more

I recently went to Iceland with Travendly and had an awesome time! We had a great group that was just the right amount of people for everyone to get to know each other. We got to do all of the major site-seeing (Blue Lagoon, volcanic ash beach, Golden Circle, the waterfalls and geysers), as well as some unique experiences I wasn’t expecting — including an off-the-beaten path hot spring, a glacier hike, and awesome nightlife.I’ve done other group travel before with larger companies, and while Travendly is a much smaller-scale operation, the experience was very similar as far as the activities we got to do. Some other elements — lodgings, the included meals, transportation — were better. Because it was a smaller group, the trip was a bit more personalized, and we were able to devote our time to the activities we as a group wanted to go. Overall an awesome trip, I would definitely recommend to friends!read more

Had SUCH a great time in Cuba! The group was so fun and friendly, and the house we stayed in was super cute. It was great to spend time both in Havana and outside the city as well. Definitely going on another group trip later this year.read more

I can’t say enough good things about this group!! I went to Cuba with Travendly in July 2017 and it was one of the BEST experiences I’ve ever had!! Everything was so well organized; we literally didn’t have to worry about a thing once we were there!! Our tour guides, Jess and Jordan, were very thorough, informative, and so much fun!!! Everyone in our group bonded so well and we have all stayed close even after our trip ended. Our experience in Cuba was truly unique and one that I will never forget. I hope to go back on another adventure with Travendly and would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering a trip.Thank you again for the wonderful experience!! I am SO glad I found you!! 🙂read more

Great company. Did my first solo trip to Europe (Greece) with Travendly and had the time of my life! It was a plus that everyone on the trip lived in the tri-state area so we all keep in touch via Travendly happy hours, reunion lunches/dinners… etc. The owner/hosts are are very professional yet fun, approachable and down to earth! Trips are organized but geared to what the group wants from the experience. Highly recommended! read more

I’ve travelled all over the world with family, friends, and relationships. I can say with complete confidence that my trip with 6 strangers to Cuba was the best vacation I’ve ever had. Beyond the friendships I formed with the great group I was selected for, Travendly made me feel like a native resident rather than a tourist. Every activity was curated carefully by the team and their local tour guide worked hard to make sure I was cared for and having an incredible time. You will go to that bar that becomes your new favorite, you will eat local food that you wished you can cook in your kitchen, and you will experience sights and sounds that can only be found in an unfamiliar world. Cuba is a must see destination for anyone looking to have an adventure and Travendly made that experience more than I ever dreamed possible. So much thanks to Jon and especially Jess whose job began when she first reached out by phone to answer questions a month before we left and ended as I gave her hug goodbye at the airport upon my return.read more

Had a great time traveling to Cuba with Travendly. They planned the entire trip out so well, I didn’t have to think about anything! I met great new friends on the trip, which made the experience even better. Special thanks to Jess for the laughs, songs, and acting stupid (in a good way)!read more

I went on the Iceland Northern Lights trip last week and it was one of the best trips I’ve had thanks to Travendly. 1) Everything is planned for you so you don’t have to worry about missing something essential or planning a trip in your busy life…you just get to show up and enjoy it. I felt confident that we saw and did everything and didn’t miss a thing. 2) They were extremely helpful in packing and organizing the little bit that we did have to do on our own. 3) Jon and our Icelandic tour guide were fun, extremely trustworthy, easy going, and easy to be around. 4) I was nervous about doing a tour group with solo travelers, but Travendly did a great job of making sure it was a compatible group. My stomach hurt from laughing. Met fantastic people and want to do another trip like this again soon! 5) Iceland was the most beautiful place I’ve been to and cannot recommend it enough! You won’t be disappointed!read more

There are not enough superlatives in the English language (or Spanish, for that matter) to give appropriate kudos to the Travendly staff and the 5-day Cuba trip.First off, the preparation for the trip was second to none. The information provided by Travendly in documents and in conversation with Jessica, our AMAZING guide, was so helpful. Tips like downloading offline maps on our phones, the best currency to bring, or reminders to bring baby wipes were all incredibly useful (and spot-on!).Second, the group of travelers put together by Travendly was fantastic. I’m not sure if anyone got turned down for this trip, but the 5 of us women who were on it together meshed very well and had a great time together.Third, the trip itself was packed top-to-bottom with amazing experiences and beautiful sights. Nothing like taking a ride in a classic convertible around Havana, eating an amazing lunch with a stunning view in Vinales, or, my personal favorite, learning how to make mojitos and classic Cuban cuisine in Cojimar (with an extra side of rum).Finally, Jessica and Jordan (our fantastic Cuban guide) make an amazing team. The atmosphere they generated together, along with all of our amazing Cuban hosts along the way, made this trip truly special. Each and every person we encountered worked tirelessly to make sure each traveler was getting everything she could out of this trip. From rolling with last minute schedule changes, to adding on extra experiences, to just pumping up the atmosphere a little more, I could not have asked for better leadership on this (or any!) trip.TL;DR: Travendly is amazing. Cuba is beautiful. Jessica is trip leader goals. Just book the trip, you won’t regret it.read more

I had the most amazing time on the Iceland Northern Lights trip! The country is absolutely beautiful and Jon planned the best trip, including great food. We did a lot but it never seemed rushed or busy. Plus, we saw the northern lights! On top of the country being beautiful, our group was awesome and I really enjoyed exploring a new country with them! Travendly attracts great people that really made the trip amazing.read more

I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful company and how they helped me to have the most amazing vacation of my life. Between the organization, communication and all around kick-ass team – this was the most seamless vacation I’ve ever gone on! My tour guides, Jessica and Jordan, are two of the most amazing people on earth and they made sure that the entire group enjoyed every second of our time in Cuba. I wish I could give them 100 stars, but that still wouldn’t even come close to how great they all are.read more

Just got back from the most beautiful, fun and adventurous trip to Iceland with Travendly!

I had the pleasure of joining a Travendly trip to Iceland in March and it was hands down, a trip of a lifetime. Iceland lived up to its reputation of truly being a magical place. What made this trip so special was not only the beautiful country itself, but the group of people I got to experience it with. Taking a solo trip I knew I always wanted to do, but finding the right travel group was the big question. I had heard of some of the others out there, but to me they all felt one in the same and quite frankly, too big of groups. I wanted that balance of an adventurous itinerary coupled with a smaller, more intimate group setting. And that’s where Travendly delivered. They did a fantastic job crafting an organized, fun packed 6 day agenda that hit all the Iceland hotspots while cultivating the perfect blend of personalities. Big shout out to our group leader Jess. If you have the pleasure of taking a trip with her you will be sure to have a good time! By the end of the trip, I made 7 new friends and memories that will last a lifetime. If you’re contemplating a solo trip or looking for a fun group of people to travel to amazing places with, Travendly is the only way to go!read more

On a whim, and more than a bit spontaneously, I signed up for a Travendly group tour to Iceland – and I cannot think of a better way to have experienced a foreign country. Travendly’s philosophy and mandate when it comes to traveling are so seamlessly aligned with so many other travelers: to have great experiences with other people, on the road often less traveled. Before even getting to Iceland, I felt like I knew the others in my group. Travendly ensures you’re comfortable, safe, and relaxed throughout the entirety of your trip. I felt incredibly well-taken care of, which was exceptionally important to me because this was my first time traveling without friends. During our time in Iceland, there were so many stops we made that I know I would have never seen had I gone here by myself. Travendly knows the secret spots, away from crowds of tourists. It was a wonderful, rewarding experience – and I can’t wait to travel with Travendly again very, very soon!!read more

I recently got back from my first trip with Travendly to Croatia! I say first because I foresee it being one of many!! I was hesitant about joining a travel group initially, but I’m so happy with the experience. I had planned trips on my own before, but nothing compared to this. It was so relaxing to have someone preplan almost everything down to a T (I say “almost” because we did get a lot of free time and were able to do what we wanted as well!). We would get off a boat and there would be our taxi driver taking us to our next apartment. Dinners were amazing and we always got the best spot in the house! The excursions were unbelievable. We did kayaking, white water rafting, boating *which was my favorite, and lots of hiking. Jon was always making sure everything ran smoothly and that everyone was enjoying themselves. This was a trip of a lifetime, I cannot thank Jon enough for all he did!!read more

Having never done a travel group before I was a bit nervous, but I felt like I knew my group well even before we left for the trip and the information provided by travendly made me well- prepared for my adventure. The leaders Jon and Halli were phenomenal- making everyone feel like they were a part of the group. The scheduling was impressive as well and I still cannot believe how much we were able to see and do each day of the trip! I would highly recommend Travendly to anyone and will definitely be going on another trip!!read more

I just recently returned from the 6 day summer Iceland trip. I was a little nervous as this was my first time traveling without friends or family, but I had an amazing time! The trip was incredibly well-planned and organized. I knew exactly what to pack and each day’s itinerary was strategically planned out. We saw so much in the six days we were there, and yet I felt completely relaxed because all the details were taken care of. The group of people I traveled with were great. We had a lot of fun getting to know each other and laughed throughout the entire trip! Our leader, Jon, went out of his way to make sure everyone was having a good time, answered any questions we had, and helped out in any way needed. Iceland was beautiful! I definitely recommend traveling to Iceland with Travendly!read more

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Travendly. All my interactions with the staff leading up to the trip were great and all the information provided about the upcoming trip was very helpful. Everything was planned out for us ahead of time so there was no question what things we had planned for the day but if we wanted to be flexible and change things up that was always an option too. Every excursion was amazing and so much fun and all the destinations were beautiful. By far what made the trip was the group I traveled with. We all got along so well and meshed together perfectly. I hope that the friendships we made will continue on in the future and we can plan more trips together again. It always makes a trip that much better when you really get along with the people you are with so I want to thank Jon and his staff for setting up such an amazing trip and for putting together such a great group off ladies.read more

I just recently got back from the 9 day trip to Greece with Travendly. First, after reading through some of the reviews, I would like say that this type of travel is not for everyone. You are signing up to travel with 10-14 strangers, to a foreign place, with planned excursions and activities. You HAVE to be able to go into it with an open mind and flexible intentions. It is not easy traveling with a large group, much less filled with people you don’t know. With that said- I had one of the most amazing and memorable experiences of my life- I will definitely travel with Travendly again. I made lifelong friends- people I would have never met in my life otherwise. We were all from very different backgrounds with different life experiences. But we all chose to come on this trip for a similar reason- to experience something, and to experience it with other people. The Travendly team was extremely helpful and responsive in the months leading up to the trip. Our group leader, Jessica, was awesome- she made a point to get to know everyone personally and made sure everyone’s needs were met during the trip. When you travel with 10+ people, you are going to do things you wouldn’t normally choose to do- but that is what this experience is about- get out of your comfort zone, try something new and you will be surprised what happens! I absolutely loved everything about this vacation (except having to come home ) I would recommend Travendly to adventure seekers & people who love to meet new people.read more

Decided I wanted to go to Thailand but had little time to prepare. I found Travendly and was in Thailand only DAYS later! Everything was organized and I felt taken care of every moment of the trip. I got to do more than I expected or even knew to experience in Thailand. Without Travendly, I would have missed out on amazing experiences and great new friends. I was nervous to be with strangers but we all had things in common, a great attitude and got along great; we keep in touch to this day. The two guides we had were amazing. They knew almost everything we inquired about or found out. They ensured our experience was all we wanted and took care of us.read more

So it’s been a little over a month since my trip, and I honestly can say I can’t wait for my next trip with Travendly. I went on the Greece trip, and it was the trip of a lifetime. It was my first time traveling solo, and since I wasn’t ready yet to do it all entirely on my own, I decided to do it through a travel group. I found Travendly through a Facebook group, they were talking about their positive experience. I did more research and what interested me about Travendly was that it was a small group, it focused on young professionals and compared to some other groups, the prices were very reasonable. I loved how the only thing literally I had to worry about was my flight. Travendly handled all of the details – the itinerary, the packing list, excursion options, etc. They also did a fantastic job with pairing our group together – we all did everything as a group, and truly enjoyed being around each other so much that we’ve planned a reunion in a few months! LOL. The travel leader, Jessica, was excellent. She ensured everyone was having a great time, and she knew the most amazing spots to take pictures. I’m horrible at that, so I appreciated that so much!! So if you’re wondering whether you should or not, like I was, just DO IT! The trips are reasonable, there are so many different trip options and activity options, and lastly you literally just have to show up. I can’t wait until my next trip, thank you Travendly!read more

She also was very informed about everything on the island, and ensured we received the true Belize experience. I was also impressed with the planning and organization leading up to the trip to make everyone feel comfortable and prepared ahead of time – including the Google hangout, WhatsApp group, roommate questionnaire, etc. The trip had a perfect mix of planned activities and free time, which is just what I was looking for!!

Travendly really hits group travel spot on. I can’t say enough good things about this company. They know what they are doing. It’s personalized, thoughtful, and catered to small group fun. After going on their Cuba trip in 2016, from which I developed real lasting friendships, I wondered if it could be replicated. I decided to go to Belize with Travendly over New Year’s 2018…and they did it again! What an amazing trip; great group of people, outstanding Travendly guide, and beautiful place. I love that Travendly guides actually spend time in the destinations where they are hosting trips. It truly provides you an experience where you are getting the inside scoop everywhere you go. Of our 14 trip goers 6 are local to my city and we’ve continued to see each other consistently since being home- with no end in sight for future plans together ☺ I love this company and can’t wait to hit up their Morocco trip!read more

This might be the first review i have ever written, just never cared to take the time to write a good or bad review about anything… Having said that; this felt warranted because it exceeded my expectations. Had just gotten back from South America, i was looking to get in a quick turn around to another part of the world. A friend had pointed me to Travendly; their price points were very reasonable so figured i’d take a chance. I have only ever traveled solo or with close friends before, so this was somewhat concerning at the time going with people who may have very different travel goals. The people were awesome, thoroughly enjoyed traveling with every person on the trip. Travendly did a great job pairing people together. The itinerary was perfect imo, there was a good balance of activities, time to unwind and options at your discretion even after booking. Also, I cannot speak highly enough of our guide Oi. Her extensive knowledge, hospitality, patience with the group and going above and beyond without even being asked at times to ensure people walked away happy is what sets her apart. Thank you to Oi and Travendly for putting together a memorable trip.read more

Just returned from the 5 day Cuba trip, and it was hands down the most amazing experience. The itinerary was extremely well planned – never felt rushed and had plenty of time to soak in the surroundings at each stop. It was the perfect mix of food, culture, art, and immersing oneself with the locals and local culture.During the weeks leading up to the trip, the Travendly family was professional and quick to respond to every email, with detailed responses to every question. They went out of their to accommodate unexpected complications caused by bad weather in Florida, resulting in most everyone’s arrival being delayed. The situation was so well handled that even with the weather hiccup, the entire experience was seamless.During the trip, I simply don’t have the words to express how amazing our guides were. Samara is an absolute rock star – exploding with positive energy and enthusiasm! You can’t help but feel genuinely happy and excited when around her. Roberto, our local guide, was very knowledgeable, so easy to get along with that you feel like you’ve known him for ages, and hilarious! I can’t imagine better travel companions/tour guides than Samara and Roberto. I’m already planning my next trip with Travendly, and can’t wait for the next adventure!read more

I just returned from the 7 day trip to Peru with Travendly. I booked the trip on a whim after reading many of the great reviews and it was honestly one of the best decisions I could have made. This was, hands down, the best trip I have ever taken. First off, Travendly couldn’t have been more organized and easier to work with. There was plenty of communication in the weeks leading up to the trip letting us know exactly what we needed to bring and what to expect all down to the smallest details. Any questions we had were quickly answered either through email or through our trip WhatsApp group. The trip itself was absolutely phenomenal. Our trip leader, Jenny, was a total rock star. She was fun, outgoing, and most importantly very organized. Travendly had a terrific itinerary and we got to see all the highlights of Peru in 7 days. I really appreciated the attention to detail, like making sure we had the earliest bus/hiking tickets for Machu Picchu to beat the crowds. Those things really made a huge difference. Lastly, the travel group experience was so much fun. Everyone in my group was outgoing and laid back. I couldn’t have asked for 9 better people to travel with and really made some lifelong friends on this trip. I look forward to my next trip with Travendly!read more

I’ve just came back from a trip in Croatia, and I can definitely say, that was one of my best trips ever!!! Starting on the Itinerary, you have 9 days in 03 incredibles places, just the right amount of time in each of them, no rushing and really beautiful. You will have city timing, waterfalls landscaping, island dropping of, and party environments. The size of the group is just perfect, I was the only Portuguese and had so much fun with the American Gang! I had such a great time, the group was really nice! This trip is one of kind, and is really well planned and thinked, all of this could not obviously be done, if it wasn’t for our amazing, rock star, smiley, full of energy, party style… Ms Aussie Morgan Georg – Tour Guide!!! She was truly one of kind! First year working in Travendly, and you can bet you will not find a better guide than she!!! I really loved her, and think she did an awesome job! So congrats Travendly, you have exceeded my expectations, will definitely recommend and spread the word about you guys. All the best Rita Pintoread more

I just got back a few weeks ago from the 6 day Iceland trip – I am still in awe at how amazing this experience was. Iceland is breathtaking – endless waterfalls, lava fields and glaciers. Our tour guide, Jon, went above and beyond – hiking leader, photographer, and ultimate Iceland expert. We had delicious meals and even better views because of his expertise. I am so glad I decided to go on this trip. I went in with a group of strangers and came out with a group of travel companions. I cannot recommend Travendly’s Iceland trip more – I hope I have the chance to go on another trip!read more

Had an amazing time in Croatia earlier this summer! The trip exceeded my expectations. All three locations are beautiful, it’s organized extremely well, and the people on the trip with me were all nice, cool people. Some highlights of the trip were Plitvice Lakes National Park, boating day on Hvar, and cliff jumping in Dubrovnik. The free day in Split I signed up on my own for a GOT tour that went to Klis fortress. One of the great things about joining a guided trip is everything is planned out for you and Morgan, our trip leader, had amazing restaurants and fun bars to take us to every night. She also did an excellent job of getting us out of our comfort zones and trying new things. Leading up to the trip Jon and Alison are very attentive and will answer any questions you have. I highly recommend Travendly and their Croatia trip.read more

I just happened to find Travendly while searching for a travel group geared towards my stage of life. I love to travel and see new places but want to be safe and smart and sometimes you just can’t get friends or family to join you! So I took a leap of faith and signed up for the 6 day summer Iceland trip and I am so glad that I did! It was so well-organized and we had a full itinerary without it seeming too rushed. I felt like I got a great taste of Iceland (so much so that I would love to go back some winter and see it again). Our tour guide, David, was fantastic and my fellow travelers and I were all around the same age and enjoyed the shared experience together. Travendly provided detailed itineraries and suggested packing lists and it was so nice to not have to do all the research for a change. I hope to do another trip soon! Thanks again!read more

Travendly is a great org for young professionals to meet like minded people, create new friendships, expand your comfort zone, and explore a new corner of the world while checking some things off your bucket list. Highly recommend 🙂read more

Just got back from the Peru trip with Travendly and would definitely recommend. This was my first time doing group travel so I was somewhat hesitant to sign up but it exceeded all expectations. I felt the tour was very organized with enough free time vs time touring the country. Our guide Brenda was the best and really enhanced the experience!! The country of Peru is just magical and was so fun to experience this with other likeminded travelers.read more

I would highly recommend going on a trip with Travendly if you want to explore a new country, make awesome friends, and get out of your comfort zone without having to do any of the planning yourself. I went on the summer Iceland trip and loved it. Jon, our group leader, took care of all the planning and made sure everyone in our group was having a great time. Your days are filled with fun activities and we were able to fit in a lot more than if I had planned a trip myself. If you’re considering booking a trip with Travendly, do it now (you won’t regret it)!read more

I went on the Portugal trip in October 2019 and had a amazing time! My expectations in all aspects of the trip were far exceeded. Travendly did a great job putting together this trip. The structured activities led by local guides added a lot of value to the trip and made the experience in Portugal feel much more personal and engaging. Our trip leader was also very knowledgeable, organized, and fun. The trip went very smoothly and everyone had a great time together as new friends. Portugal is a beautiful and friendly country. I would highly recommend booking a trip with Travendly!read more

I’ve done both the Greece and Belize trips with Travendly and both have them have been great! They make it incredibly easy and it’s so well planned out where you see everything without it being rushed. I’m a huge fan of not having to plan anything but just showing up and having a great time! Samara was the group leader on both trips I did and she is an absolute rock star! It’s a great way to sign up for a trip alone but not have to travel alone and have met some great friends from the trip.read more

My husband and I went on the Iceland Northern Lights tip over New Year’s and had a wonderful time! The trip was perfectly organized and guided to see as much of the country as possible without being overwhelmed. The sights we saw were absolutely beautiful and we were given plenty of time at each stop to enjoy them. Spending New Year’s Eve in Reykjavik was the perfect ending to the trip – the city goes all out with fireworks and bonfires and it was incredible to see in person! Our guide, David, was the best. He did a great job of giving us an understanding of the sites and Iceland history without ever boring us. He was so friendly and helpful – couldn’t have asked for a better guide. This was our first group travel trip and we weren’t too sure what to expect. However, we were extremely pleased with our group – everyone got along wonderfully and the new friendships truly added to the overall experience. The hotels we stayed at were all very nice and in great locations for seeing the Northern Lights. We look forward to booking another trip with Travendly in the future!read more

I went on my first Travendly trip to Iceland over New Year’s and had an incredible, unforgettable experience. The trip really allowed for a chance to see the beauty of Iceland, satisfy a craving for adventure, and connect with people in a way that all felt very seamless. Highlights were definitely the glacier hike and seeing the Northern Lights. It was so comforting knowing we had a guide to show us around, do the driving, be in charge of the timing of the trip, and be of assistance in the case of any unexpected snags. It helped that our guide David was incredibly fun and personable, which really amplified everyone’s experience. You can tell that the itinerary of the trip has been carefully thought out and refined over time. Having booked the trip just a month before leaving, I found the packing list and ability to ask questions beforehand extremely helpful.I traveled with a close friend of mine, but the trip is easily set up to go by yourself and feel very much a part of the group. We enjoyed bonding with the group in van rides, excursions, group dinners, and lodging that facilitated spending time together in the evenings. The size of the group (13 plus the guide) was perfect for having plenty of different personalities to connect with, but not being so large that you get lost in the crowd. Overall, it was a fun and adventurous group to travel with. I will definitely be back with Travendly for another trip in the future!read more

I did the Belize trip in December 2019 and had a great time! My favorite part about the trip was that I could actually relax and enjoy my vacation the entire time and didn’t have to worry about anything! I’m typically the person in my friend group who plans everything and was so glad that Travendly had everything set up—from our hotel, to our activities, and even our meals. My toughest decision on the trip was which drink to order while chilling at the bar! Our guide was so outgoing and personable, which made the whole group feel comfortable from the start and helped everyone get to know each other. Would definitely recommend Travendly!read more

I did a Travendly trip to Peru in August of 2018 and just came back from their 5 day Cuba trip. Both trips were well planned and had a great mix of seeing the main sights while also allowing for down time. It’s a great way to meet people in the “young professional” age range that are open to new experiences and travel to new places. Their prices are reasonable too. I highly recommend using Travendly to plan your next trip!read more

I just went on the 11 day Argentina trip Dec 26th-Jan 5th 2020, I cannot recommend this trip enough! If you’re thinking about it, don’t, just book it immediately! I have mostly done long (1-2 month) solo travels and my budget has always been on the most minimal of funds, so this was huge for me to go outside of that for just 11 days. But honestly, knowing what I now know about this trip, I would have easily paid more! I was initially nervous about traveling with a group because I usually only do solo travel, but I hit a point in my life where I wanted to have shared experiences with others as well as connect with like minded people. It can be tough to find friends and family that are willing to do the same type of travel, so thats when I decided I wanted to be apart of a group travel company. I couldn’t have chose a better company. The group was incredible, they perfectly matched us with the roommate survey they did, the itinerary was incredibly planned and executed, you could tell there was so much thought and planning that went into it. We were constantly on the go, which is what I love about travel, as well as there was so much I wanted to see in Argentina and this trip covered it all! Pablo our guide was such a luxury, he anticipated our needs, was flexible and accommodating, was always calm and completely took away any anxiety/fear that could potentially go along with being in a foreign country. Not to mention he was always so much fun and his jokes and humor endless! Bringing in the new year with our group in Buenos Aires was so much fun, truly started off 2020 right with a new travel family that will never be forgotten. I am a huge hiker and adventurer so the horseback riding trip in Mendoza is a MUST DO! I highly advise being in decent shape for the hikes in Patagonia, they were tough, but worth every step of the way. The views were literally to die for! I have never seen such beauty before like I did on the laguna de los tres hike to Fitz Roy, as well as the Perito Moreno glacier hike! This is an adventurers DREAM! The people in Argentina were so warm and welcoming and I always felt like family everywhere we went. The culture is so rich here and not to mention the wine, steak and empanadas were absolutely everything! Honestly, planning my trip back there as we speak so book that trip right now!read more
