What Seeka Travelers Are Saying

It's an amazing way to travel and connect with new people.
In my case, it's been the perfect chance to explore a destination I otherwise wouldn't have dared to venture to.

Outstanding! It was my first trip of this kind, and it won't be the last. The group was fantastic, and the coordinator made sure to create a positive vibe from the first minute. Besides, he took us to some very local restaurants and places, off the beaten path... simply top-notch!

I'd been on several group trips with other companies before, but Seeka Travel was unparalleled. The fact that the whole group was gay made me feel more comfortable than ever. They took us to hotels and places specially for LGBT, I loved it!

I'd highlight the excellent organization. Our coordinator was attentive to us at all times, ensuring that everything flowed perfectly. The hotels were luxurious, and the destinations spectacular. The group I traveled with was great, and we bonded well. Thanks!

Highly recommended. Even before the trip, I had a lot of conversations with the SeekaTravel team, and they were very kind and fast in answering all my questions.
