Trek Travel Named A 2018 World’s Best Tour Operator

Every year, Travel + Leisure asks readers to vote on the top hotels, destinations, airlines, and tour operators around the globe. Known as the World’s Best Awards, travelers rated tour operators on their staff and guides, itineraries and destinations, activities, accommodations, food, and overall value. We are proud to announce that, with a score of 95.65, Trek Travel was named one of the World’s Best Tour Operators in 2018. We were thrilled to be awarded the same title back in 2016 and are proud to receive it again.
Trek Travel is a 2018 World's Best Tour Operator

“Traveling with a comprehensive tour operator can bring any trip to the next level. These expert-led companies can curate itineraries based around your interests, unlock experiences that aren’t available to the general public, and perhaps most important, save you mental energy…The tour operators on our list offer experiences and itineraries of every type imaginable, but one increasingly popular category is active and adventure travel. Three of the Top 10 focus on cycling — a sign that our readers like staying fit and seeing the world on the open road.” said Hannah Walhout of Travel + Leisure.

Among our industry’s highest honors, this distinction means so much more because it was awarded by you. You are the reason we’re in business–your stories inspire us, your energy fuels us, and your expectations drive us to be the best. Thanks for all the fun you have, and the love you’ve shared with us over the years.
