Christina and Gene are excited to fill out the calendar for the coming years with some fabulous international and domestic tours!

We are excited to say that five more trips have been added to the website, with a full brochure found at the bottom of each page.

----------

Up first is a hiking adventure in the American Southwest. Horseshoe bend, ancient petroglyphs, cliffs, hoodoos and winding rivers highlight the backdrop for a wonderful week of day hiking!

Next spring, Gene travels south to the beautiful and ecologically diverse country of Peru. Lima, Cusco, Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, and other Incan ruins will be points of interest along the way, but the Andean art, history, and culinary experiences will really shape your memories from this trip. You will also have the option to add a four-day cruise through the Peruvian Amazon for some spectacular wildlife spotting and jungle adventure!

April 12-21, 2026 (or April 12-25, 2026)

Without much time to rest, Gene will be off to Portugal! See the vibrant and historic cities of Lisbon and Porto before setting off on a river cruise along the Douro river, the centerpiece of a beautiful European countryside.

April 29-May 9, 2026

Up next is a trip to a pair of Mediterranean islands: Sicily and Malta. People have been living on these islands for over 7,000 years, and you will feel the history while exploring and taking in the sun and the sea.

Rounding out the new additions is our first trip of 2027, an expedition to Costa Rica! Spending time at a remote resort in San Carlos and the Arenal National Park region, you will be able to see birds, sea turtles, crocodiles and more in the beautiful and biodiverse rainforests of Costa Rica.

It's been a little while since our last post, but Gene and Christina (and lots of you) were very busy with travel in 2024! Here is a message from Gene recapping some of the highlights from the past year:

"2024 was the most active year in the history of GVG Tours, with 11 international trips and 8 domestic trips. Following two years of little or no travel after COVID, many people were ready to visit the destinations of their dreams.

There is an unbelievable amount of planning, paperwork, and interactions necessary to run every trip, and the person who makes that happen is my daughter and business partner Christina. Her meticulous attention to detail and communicative skills have made all the difference in the growth of GVG Tours. Like I always say, 'She does all the work, and I have all the fun!'

This year, I was most fortunate to travel with so many wonderful people all over the United States, including Hawaii, and to 18 different countries on six continents. If you add up all of my flight miles, it would translate to circumnavigating the earth six times!

From sitting on the white sand beaches in Punta Cana to the bustling city of Delhi, from the grand lower falls in Yellowstone to the whitewashed homes in the Greek isles, from whale watching in Hawaii to being on safari in Kenya, from the tomb of Ho Chi Minh to the memorial statue of Gandhi - I have been everywhere man! I feel so blessed not just because I have been to all these places, but because of the wonderful people that I have traveled with!"

Please enjoy some of the pictures Gene took this year, and edit your list of New Year's resolutions to include travel if it doesn't already!

Also, keep an eye out soon for a newsletter with details on new trips to the Pacific Northwest and Vancouver (Aug. 2025) and the Lone Star State - Texas (Sep. 2025).

We love hearing from our walkers!! 🥰 🥾 🎒

"We hiked the Great Glen Way in the Fall of 2023 and used Loch Ness Hub and Travel for our group’s transportation needs. Russell made the drives very informative, as he taught us about the local geography, history, and economy, and also entertaining; we shared lots of laughs around origami, trivia, and even Drumnadrochit’s own heart-shaped cow. In addition, they went above and beyond to accommodate us and to keep us informed of the weather conditions, which was greatly appreciated. Finally, we appreciated the Loch Ness Hub and Travel business model with all profits being invested back into the local community. I would highly recommend Loch Ness Hub and Travel for anyone visiting/hiking the Scottish Highlands." - Stacy Duffy
