What people love about Mid Atlantic Tours
Trip was amazing. Really well organised and planned. John was a brilliant guide - incredibly knowledgeable about the area, the physical geography and the historical and cultural connections. Everything ran smoothly from beginning to end. Cannot recommend this trip (or John as a guide!) highly enough
Paddle and Hike Adventure
My wife and I are very grateful to Kyle for his professional thoughtful service. We are so glad for Wildland trekking and Kyle to make this 45th wedding anniversary wonderful.
Asheville Inn Based Hiking Tour
- America's Historic East with Extended Stay in Washington DC
Great tour host and great driver. Scott was very informative with historic and personal information. Preplanned meals were good and in historic settings, ship, tavern, lodge. The buss was kept very clean, however I would have thought the air vents could have been replaced when broken or completely missing. All in all, it did not deter from the great trip but too many little concerns can make for a bad trip. Would I use and recomend Globus, Yes.
