“Hands down, far-and-away, no contest, Joseph was the best private tour guide my wife and I have ever traveled with. Our trip wouldn't have been nearly as fun and exciting as it turned out to be without his expertise, skills, and companionship. Apart from his absolutely professional way of handling the necessary logistics, etc., his exceptional knowledge of the places we were visiting, along with his thoroughly engaging personality, enriched our adventure enormously. Plus--he was a professional photographer in a former life and we came home with amazing visual mementos of our once-in-a-lifetime trip!”

“Joseph is talented at facilitating relationships and has a genuine love for meeting people wherever he goes. From China to London and points in between, we benefitted from these skills as he engaged with locals, concierges, hotel staff, guides, drivers, shopkeepers, and other fellow tourists. These interactions enriched my experiences and made trip so much more than just sightseeing, but to embracing the people and culture wherever we were. Joseph travels with purpose taking you not just to a country or a city, but to a people and culture. I highly recommend Joseph’s travel expertise and people skills, and look forward to traveling with him again.”

“Joseph is a fantastic guide and I had the best time travelling with him. Our whole group loved him, and he made it such a fun and unforgettable experience. He gave us the freedom to explore independently, but also made us feel so safe as he was on hand to help with any issues. Joseph REALLY knows his stuff! I only hope to be as half as well-travelled as he is. I’ll definitely have my name on the list to travel with him again!”

“In 2020 I did a round the world trip with RTWClub. The trip was well organized and our guide Joseph was well prepared. He made sure to find the best places to see in the extraordinary destinations we visited. During the trip he hired great local professional guides who were very knowledgable and spoke English. They knew quite a lot about their countries and the places we visited with them. You will see and learn a lot about the places you visit, and when you get home, you’ll want to go back. In my opinion, it was a great, affordable trip and most importantly, I felt save travelling around the world in a small group. It certainly is a trip I recommend, and hope to do again myself in a few years.”

“Our first experience with a guided adventure vacation was with Joseph Spaid in July 2021. We had a wonderful comprehensive, informative, and customized trip as he went the extra mile to know the group and ensure that we had an adventure that was matched to our interests and capabilities. The destinations we visited were filled with long lines and heavy traffic, but Joseph navigated them effortlessly to provide us with an uninterrupted and continuous adventure. We got to see, experience, and understand everything given the Joseph’s continuous narration at a pace that was comfortable, safe, and provided time and opportunities for personal exploration.”
