Travelers from my 2025 Essence of Bulgaria Exploration share their feedback
“I recently attended the Essential Earth Explorations Bulgaria Rose Retreat with Marty. She did an amazing job of planning the trip. We were never bored and had just enough free time to enjoy the sites. The ladies on the trip were so much fun. The food and restaurant choices were amazing. The hotels were beautiful. I loved the trip and hope to do another one in the future.Thank you Marty for the amazing experience.”
“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!”
Travelers from my 2024 Nordic Christmas Exploration share their feedback
“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.”

Travelers from my 2023 Northern India Spiritual Exploration share their feedback
“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!”
Travelers from my 2023 Essence of Egypt Exploration share their feedback
“Marty researches and carefully curates an adventure that is enjoyable and fulfilling. The lodging accommodations are 5 star with nice amenities. Each day holds a variety of interesting and stimulating activities. There is a great balance of history, shopping and cultural experiences that make up each day. I always felt well informed, taken care of and safe. She is an experienced traveler. I went home very satisfied and would recommend a trip with her anytime, anywhere!”
“Immerse yourself in a journey of a lifetime with a comprehensive overview of Egypt’s past and present. Small group adventure with quality lodging. You will feel well taken care of by knowledgeable people all along the way.”
“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.”
