My second GLT trip was a success! Haley and Sandy were absolutely amazing from the very beginning. I was incredibly impressed with how above and beyond they went when a hurricane put a kink in our plans. The amount of leg work these girls did behind the scenes to adjust plans and ensure everyone got there safely is commendable. When our group got together everything else just fell into place. All the tours, excursions, and experiences were incredible! I was also overjoyed when I learned a few of my previous travel companions had booked the same trip, so not only was this a mini reunion for a few of us, but I had the pleasure of making some true connections with new people as well. A wonderful experience all around ☺️

I am not exaggerating when I say that this trip was life changing for me. Becoming a part of the online GLT community helped me gain the confidence to start my travel journey, but this was the first time I’ve ever booked a trip with them. I never thought I’d be traveling halfway across the world to meet up with a group of women I’ve never met before, but it is truly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! The entire experience was unforgettable and I am so thankful that I met the amazing women that I did. This will definitely be the first of many GLT trips for me, I’m sure!

My first GLT trip to Belize was an incredible experience and certainly won't be my last with GLT! The itinerary was thoughtfully curated, showcasing all the highlights Belize has to offer. I love the perfect balance between organized group activities and free time to explore on my own pace. The amazing women I met on this trip made it even more special, and I'm excited to stay connected with them. Ramon's Village Resort was a piece of paradise nestled in a tropical garden with breathtaking beach access. My favorite trip excursions included a day spent on a catamaran with two snorkeling locations and exploring Caye Caulker. GLT trips offer more than just discovering new destinations, they create opportunities to travel with like-minded adventurers. Haley and Sandy led the trip with exceptional professionalism, and I can not wait to book my next GLT journey!

This was my 2nd GLT trip and it was absolutely fabulous. We had delays with tropical storm but the GLT team made all the perfect pivots to get us all there and enjoying our trip as soon as possible without us having to do any work. Amazing. The accommodations and activities were perfect and just as described. I love that I can just show up and have a great time! Was so fun to meet other amazing women and have a great travel experience together. I’ll happily go on a 3rd and more GLT trips!

While this trip to Belize started out with a HUGE pivot (getting stuck in LA for two days thanks to Tropical Storm Sara) everything worked out great. We were still able to do everything on the original itinerary, including having a "choose your own adventure" day and the GLT team was wonderful at moving around adventures and adding dates so those that wanted to stay extra days could do so. This was my first trip with GLT and I was a little nervous - I'm 55 and no Instagram model - would I feel out of place? Not at all. Everyone was so welcoming and we all got along great! There was probably a 25 year age spread between the youngest and oldest in the group (I was not the oldest, BTW) with many 1st timers besides my self. We started as strangers and left as friends. I can't wait to go on another trip with GLT!

I really had no idea what I was in store for when I booked this trip. Egypt is on most of our “bucket lists,” so expectations were high. Before leaving, GLT makes everything seamless. Booking is easy, communication lines are open and responses are prompt. I also found the Facebook Group to be particularly helpful with the expertise of people who have either traveled to Egypt or have gone on GLT trips. The itinerary is thoughtfully curated to allow time for rest if you want (you won’t want, trust me!) or you can choose to go on other excursions. As soon as you land you’re met by an agent who guides you through customs and gets you in transportation to the hotel. When we arrived at the hotel it was close to 2a. Enter Yasser, our guide. He welcomed us with his warm smile even though it was early morning. We were impressed. I remember getting the feeling we were in good hands, but that was only the beginning. From day one you could tell Yasser was full of knowledge. He answered every question with love and passion. We were mesmerized by the stories he told us and we quickly became family. Everywhere we went Yasser knew someone. After a quick hello and a hug, Yasser’s friends would be on their way, but not before yelling things like, “you have the best guide” and “that’s my teacher. You’re very lucky!” As I write this, I can’t help but to smile. Yasser made this trip memorable. I felt extremely safe and loved the opportunity to meet new people and socialize. If you’re on the fence and thinking about going on this trip, don’t think! You’ll leave in awe of this magical country and you’ll leave with a new extended family member with the name of Yasser. You won’t be sorry.
