Testimonials
Galapagos & The World:
“We have been fortunate to have known Muriel first as a Guide on one of our very early B&R trips to Europe and then as an organizer and coordinator of trips for us. She has done everything from creating the idea, to making the plans, to doing everything but participating physically on these trips. She has a great deal of adventure knowledge, takes a creative and exciting approach to planning trips, and executes to our complete satisfaction. Muriel has set up trips for my immediate family of five up to a group family trip of 18 all the way to chartering and organizing a boat trip of close to 40. The trips have been throughout Europe as well as the Galapagos. We recommend her and trust her completely.” — BF, San Francisco, CA
Galapagos and High Andes of Ecuador:
“Muriel’s extensive knowledge and local connections made our trip to the Galapagos and Highlands of Ecuador exceptional. The trip was perfectly executed with great attention to detail and the itinerary and activities tailored specifically to suit our group. While accommodations and meals were excellent, it was the local characters and unexpected events that made the difference—we left with a real sense of having experienced a unique culture. Muriel’s enthusiasm, and the fact that she loves what she does, was evident in her role as our guide and trip planner, as well as in her rapport with the local people and her joy at sharing this with all of us. It was great fun.” — DP and LP, Chicago, IL
South Africa, Botswana and Namibia:
“Muriel was our guide on our second trip to Africa several years ago. We are returning for the fourth time later this year and taking friends along to share the experience. Muriel is planning all the details of our upcoming adventure. She has experience, contacts and—most importantly—a sense of humor.” — CSV & MAV, Los Angeles, CA
Vietnam & Laos:
“Working with us on a complex itinerary for Laos and Vietnam, Muriel demonstrated a genuine understanding of our objectives, and the particular details that would work for our family. Her patience, sense of humor, and professionalism assisted in crafting a trip that was of the highest quality. All the important details were attended to flawlessly, and we felt every step of the way that we had engaged the very best travel service that contributed to a most memorable experience.” — KK, New York, NY
Greece and Croatia:
“On August 14, 2003, the entire East Coast was hit by a blackout just as I was boarding a flight for what promised to be an exciting vacation combining hiking, biking and exploring many of the small islands and Dalmatian Coast ports from a small yacht, a trip which Muriel Truter had designed from soup to nuts. I was disconsolate about not being able to get to the boat in time for its departure; but, somehow Muriel’s contagious enthusiasm convinced me that I might enjoy another trip she also had planned cruising the Greek Islands on the same boat—but leaving a week later.
My trip to Greece was perfect in every way; the attention to details was extra-ordinary. It’s not surprising that I did an encore cruise the following summer to Croatia. Since then Muriel has become my “go to” person for all trips real and planned in the indefinite future; I have recommended her to my friends and customers alike. Every single one of them has adored their unique travel adventure. You will too!” — E.R., New York, NY
