  • "Special: a great combination of comfort zone push and joyous comfortable adventures. "

    It was a wonderful experience that contained a good balance of historical sites, 1:1 experiences with artisans, nature adventures, and time to explore on your own. Something for everyone or every one of your areas of interest.
    - Iris, Japan traveler

  • "Something I could have never experienced solo"

    As someone who travels a lot, I didn't think that a group trip was for me. Traveling to Portugal with MBT was such a different experience, and something I could have never experienced solo. I walked away with new friends and great memories without a lot of time spent planning.

  • "Well worth it!"

    We couldn't have had a better travel guide experience than from Lizzy at Meridian. Thorough, timely, imaginative, flexible, responsive, problem-solver....and fun. I hope we can avail her services again. Would not have been the same trip by far.
