Meet Our Superior Tour Managers, Guides and Trip Escorts

When you travel with allsinglestravel.com you are travelling with the best guidance in the industry. Our local guides in each country or region visited are the most knowledgeable guidance professionals, eager to share their country and their culture with you on daily tours showing you the best of the country or region being visited and ready to answer your questions about the history of each attraction on your tours.


But we don’t stop there.


When you travel with allsinglestravel you travel with the confidence of the best guidance in the industry.


In addition to providing you with the best local guides, allsinglestravel provides what we call Dedicated Local Tour Managers.  (most clients simply call them their Tour Manager for short, or a few even fancy the phrase D-eLi-T Me with your country!)


Your Tour Manager is a local professional, in the country you are visiting, that is with your group over the duration of your tour.  Your Tour Manager is dedicated to just your group and to making sure that the needs of your group are accommodated each day.  Your Tour Manager travels from city to city with your group and in most cases even stays at the same hotels as the group.  If you have a specific interest or need, day or night, your local Tour Manager is there to help you find a way to meet that need.


Your tour manager always provides his or her own cell phone contact so you never have to worry that you must wait until “office hours” to have your question addressed.


 It may be a desire to see an opera, or to attend a bullfight or rodeo, or maybe to take a side excursion on a free day in the trip itinerary


You may have a need that arises out of necessity such as your passport gets stolen and you need to be taken to the US embassy to file for a replacement or to the police station to file a report, or, your luggage may have been lost by the airline and you need asssistance in following up with the airline from your hotel to see it gets to you as quickly as possible, or you may just feel sick and want to visit a trusted local doctor.

Whatever your need, whether it be out of desire, necessity or just curiosity, your Tour Manager is there to serve you.

Some of our Dedicated Local Tour Managers have been with us for several years and know our groups’ interests, know the interests of solo travelers, the activities and sites that have been most popualr on free days and evenings in past years and just simply care deeply about making your vacation special.


CONTACTS AND RESOURCES:

OUR DLTMs are local professionals with a tremendous network of local contacts in their country.  Their network of local contacts and local resources enable them to seemlessly accommodate most every need or request in a manner that allows you to simply enjoy your vacation experience.


People like Gustavo, our DLTM in Costa Rica.   Gustavo has been our Dedicated Local Tour Manager in Costa Rica since 2003.  He is the most caring person that will “scale the highest mountain” to serve your needs.  His resourcefulness to accommodate just about any request always amazes our clients year after year. Litteraly in the palm of his hand, is a network of contacts to assist our clients in whatever they need.


CARING AND COMMITMENT

     Our DLTMs are dedicated to you, not just to you for a three hour tour and then to another group, but only to you for the duration of your tour.  Their degree of caring is so evidenced by the attention to listening to your questions and needs.  Their attentiveness in many ways leaves you feeling you have not only had a tour manager, but have gained a friend.  (Many of our passengers swap email addresses with our Dedicated Local Tour Managers to stay in touch. )


Over 16 years of running allsinglestravel, I have personally seen our passengers bond to Perry in India ( short for his much longer Indian name), Mohamed in Morocco and Gustavo In Costa Rica


One passenger even sent a framed photograph of her, 2 other clients on her tour and Gustavo, standing in front of a waterfall in Costa Rica, to our office with a request it be handed to him personally on our next annual visit, as a personal thank you for his genuine kindness.)


ALLSINGLESTRAVEL TRIP ESCORTS

Of course we don’t stop there.  On every one of our trips, we send an allsinglestravel representative to escort your journey.  Your allsinglestravel trip escort is with you from the moment you leave the US until the moment you come back.  

Their primary duty is to escort our passengers from the US and into the welcoming hands of our Dedicated Local Tour Manager who will warmly welcome you into their country.


 Your trip escort stays with you in each hotel on the itinerary and is on each daily tour with you as a 3rd point of contact, in the event your Dedicated Local Tour Manager or local guide (where one is assisting) are not in immediate proximity to you to answer a question about an upcoming activity or event in your tour.


Most of the time, your trip escort will stay in the background, blending in and interacting with the passengers on a daily basis as "just one of the passengers in the group", thus enabling your Dedicated Local Tour Manager (and any local guide where one is assisting) to fully take the stage and share the breadth of knowledge, history and experience they have, as well as the warmth and color of their local cultures, with each of you, on a daily basis. 

By the end of your tour, you will have not only seen the sights, but our DLTM has brought you into the fabric of his or her nation's culture to truly feel that you have experienced it yourself.



EXPERIENCE -  BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN IN YOUR SHOES


ALL OF OUR TRIP ESCORTS HAVE THE TRUE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT SOLO TRAVELERS WANT, WHAT THEY LIKE AND HOW THEY INTERACT. 


Travelling with a singles group is much different than with a run of the mill tour group that has families, couples and as we like to say “screeming kids”.  Its one of the reasons our clients travel with us – to enjoy the fun and comradery of being with other singles. (of course saving lots of money by having a roommate assigned is another great reason why our clients choose us over traditional tours.)


Well our tour escorts know this better than anyone because they have been “in your shoes”.


   That is because every trip escort we hire must first travel as a passenger on a minimum of two allsinglestravel tours.     This gives each of our trip escorts the knowledge of what solo travelers like to do, and how they interact.

By using their own personal experience as a passenger on our tours, our trip escorts can assist you from personal experience of:


 “What things mattered most to me and to the passengers in my group when I was a passenger with allsinglestravel” and thus can offer suggestions if asked, as to what past passengers have enjoyed doing in their free time on a particular tour.



 Some of our passengers develop a great friendship with their trip escort and ask, when booking a trip to the destination they want to visit in the coming year, if they will have the pleasure of traveling with that escort again, on the tour they are booking .  Others simply keep in touch with a favorite trip escort via email and sign up for one of the tours that escort is leading in the coming year.


Escorts like John, a retired policeman from Long Island who has a wonderful knack for finding a fun restaurant with local flare and great food and then asking how many he should make a reservation for tonight and then leading those that attend the dinner outing, in lively conversation, laughter and just plain fun.

 
or Chuck, a semi-retired real estate agent in Southern California who simply has the knack for finding local hotspots in places like Greece, where the nightlife is always lively and just simply building a bond of friendship with the passengers he escorts.


Our trip escorts, like John and Chuck, truly become not only ”friends and fabric” of our “company family”, they also become “friends and extended family” of many of the travelers they escort.



Ultimately, when you travel with allsinglestravel.com you are traveling with confidence that you have the best in local guidance, tour management, assistance and friendship from someone who is just like you and understands the little things that make your travel experience all the more special and memorable.


With over 15 years of dedication to the needs of single travelers, we at allsinglestravel.com look forward to welcoming you on one of “our family’s” journeys soon and to showing you the world from the warmth and friendship that makes allsinglestravel your special home away from home.
