Trip Experience Leaders
Bringing your destination to life with a unique, local perspective
These caring individuals are not just“ guides,” they’ re your teachers and friends who love sharing the culture of their homelands— and they know how to bring a destination to life for travelers, too. Because of our small group size, you will also enjoy more“ one-on-one” time with your Trip Experience Leader, who will give you a unique perspective as only a true local expert can. The opportunity to truly showcase their culture, traditions and heritage is why over half of our Trip Experience Leaders have been with us for more than 5 years.
Stephen Delaney 6 Years with O. A. T.
Resides in County Waterford, Ireland
Irish Adventure: Dublin, Belfast & the Northwest Counties
96 % of O. A. T. travelers rated Stephen as“ excellent”
I enjoy showing off my country and introducing travelers to the Irish people and sharing my love for Ireland. I fell in love with this itinerary from the very first trip I completed because I believe it showcases Ireland at its best and includes a number of unique features you won’ t find on any other trips.
Elisa Rodriguez 12 Years with O. A. T.
Resides in El Calafate, Patagonia, Argentina Chile & Argentina: The Andes to Patagonia 97 % of O. A. T. travelers rated Elisa as“ excellent”
I’ m passionate about creating meaningful experiences that combine nature, history, and local culture, trying for them to get the local identity of each destination we visit. But I also try to customize their trip according to their expectations, asking them what would made their trip unforgettable. I remember once a traveler told me that, as a retired firefighter, he would like to visit a fire station.
