“Everything went beyond smooth. It felt like there was a guardian angel over our shoulder the whole time. Trip of a lifetime!”

“I cannot rate TEP highly enough. From my initial enquiry about trekking in the Himalayas, Jeff was so helpful and an itinerary was planned for me to suit my requirements. The whole service was seamless.”

“I can not recommend the Explorers Passage highly enough. The expedition exceeded all expectations and I would recommend to everybody that their next adventure is with this group.”

“It didn’t matter how big or small my question or concern was….Explorers Passage was there. On the trip itself, we felt very well taken care of with everything we did. I have no regrets…”
Tina K.

“Wow! This was one of the best trips we have ever done and we have done many. I usually try to plan them myself but, after this one, I’m content to pay the money and have every single aspect taken care of….even those things I would never have thought of.”

“My first organized hike as an adult was The Explorer’s Passage day trip to the 1777 trail along the Hudson, followed by a guided tour of West Point and then drinks back in the city at Fraunces Tavern. It was beautifully organized, attended by a friendly group of ten and very relaxing. All details were taken care of so you don’t have to do any thinking all day. The van was a luxury van, the food was excellent and the tour guides were very knowledgeable and fun to be with. I highly recommend this company and will keep an eye out for more tours in and around NYC.”

“The Explorer’s Passage was at the reins of a life changing event for me and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I heard about them through a friend that traveled to Peru through their organization and also had incredible things to say about their first class operation. From beginning to end, The Explorer’s Passage was there to help with all of my scheduling and any conflict resolution that needed tending to. Their whole team was great to work with and enough can’t be said about Jeff Bonaldi. I had the luxury of getting to know him over the course of our 7 day hike and you can tell he loves what he does and is grateful for the opportunity to share these worldly experiences with others. Thank you for everything, The Explorer’s Passage!”

Adam L.

“Hard to even put in words how awesome this trip was… but without Jeff Bonaldi and The Explorer’s Passage it would never have happened. From booking all the way through to the final hike, everything was perfect.”
