About Genuine Globe Trotters
Founded in 2018 by a team of passionate travel anthropologists and cultural experts, Genuine Globe Trotters emerged from a simple yet profound belief: authentic travel experiences should connect people with the heart and soul of destinations, not just their tourist attractions.
Our company was born out of frustration with cookie-cutter travel packages that barely scratch the surface of local cultures. We recognized that today's discerning travelers crave meaningful connections, authentic experiences, and the opportunity to see the world through local eyes.
What sets us apart is our extensive network of local cultural ambassadors in over 45 countries. These aren't just tour guides – they're storytellers, artisans, historians, and community leaders who open their homes, share their traditions, and provide insights that no guidebook can offer. Every journey we craft is a collaboration between our expert travel designers and these local partners.
We specialize in small-group cultural immersion experiences, typically limiting our groups to 8-12 participants to ensure intimate, personalized interactions. Our travelers don't just visit destinations; they participate in cooking classes with local families, learn traditional crafts from master artisans, join community festivals, and stay in carefully selected accommodations that reflect local character and support community development.
Over the past five years, we've facilitated transformative journeys for over 3,200 travelers, maintaining a 98% satisfaction rate and building lasting relationships that extend far beyond the trip itself. Our commitment to sustainable and responsible tourism means that every journey contributes positively to local communities while providing our guests with life-changing experiences.
