Traveler Feedback

“For my very first European travel, this was the way to go. Such expertise. Traveling with Marty Harger and Essential Earth Explorations was wonderful. With a well thought-out itinerary that not only gave me a great education about past and present, but also allowed me plenty of time for self exploration and relaxation. The best part was that I did not have to worry about transportation to/ from the airport. Currency and tipping was well explained, even what and how to pack. I will definitely save up for another adventure!” 

“Karen and I feel honored to have been asked to join the group going on the Nordic Christmas Exploration to Sweden and Finland, December 10-19th, 2024. Marty put together the best group of four couples and we all got along and enjoyed each other so well.  However, the key, from my perspective, were the locations and activities that Marty orchestrated, from an AMAZING choir performance in Stockholm celebrating Santa Lucia, seeing the Ice Hotel in Northern Sweden, to dog sled riding in Finland, Northern Light viewing, all of us participating in cooking a special meal in a cabin on the edge of a frozen lake and staying the last night in Glass Pyramid bungalows!  This was one of the best and most memorable travel experiences we’ve ever had.”

“Having recently traveled with Marty to Greece, I can personally attest to the exceptional quality of this unique experience provided Essential Earth Explorations. From exploring ancient ruins to savoring local cuisine and meeting local families, every moment was thoughtfully curated to ensure a seamless and enriching journey. Marty’s expertise and genuine passion for travel elevated the trip to new heights, leaving me and my hubby with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for Greek culture. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or embarking on your first adventure, Essential Earth Explorations is the ultimate choice for an extraordinary travel experience.” 

“Marty was amazing! She organized a great trip to Northern India…a place I had never considered visiting. It was a great group of women that I now consider dear friends and will continue to connect with. Everything was perfectly planned and provided experiences I never would have imagined. Accommodations were great with very helpful staff. I liked that food was included in the cost of the trip. Tour guides were oustanding and travel connections were easy and on-time. Marty was always available to meet our needs and answer our questions. I am happy to recommend her and the Essential Earth Explorations Program if you are considering traveling with an organized, learning oriented group!”

“A bucket list trip to Egypt with Marty Harger and her travel company where we learn & experience so many interesting facets of the area! A thousand thank you’s to our Egyptologist-Guides for their tours, ability to move us away from crowds, take fabulous photos, & incredible abundance of knowledge! What a love about Marty’s tours is that she ties in essential oils. Egypt is known for its precious oils and it’s agriculture. We visited Hashem Brothers Farm located outside of Cairo and learned about the precious jasmine, Neroli, and bitter orange plants and watched the distillation process. Always fascinating to watch this process, meet the farmers and learn how this type of family business thrives.”
