About Todd, Owner/Operator
I am extremely passionate about exploring and sharing the beauty, ecology and history of the areas we visit with visitors from around the world. With a Bachelor’s degree in philosophy, I bring a unique perspective and informative approaches to my tours, helping visitors to connect with the natural world and historical significance of the areas we explore. I believe context is key to a deeper understanding of experiences that people find more meaningful and memorable.
My expertise lies in designing action-packed custom, chartered tours, where I extensively research, plan, book and lead trips to exotic destinations. I consider myself an eco-tourist and prone to engaging in natural surroundings, but I can also cater to more urban-minded travelers. I’m also a former white water raft guide on the Arkansas River of Colorado and try to include rafting as an activity as often as possible, for those up to the exhilarating challenge.
Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, I continued my passion for exploring and sharing these experiences with groups ambitious to have grand adventures. As a professional tour guide, I understand the importance of safety and comfort during tours and take every precaution possible to ensure visitors have an enjoyable and memorable experience. Even in times of tough weather, I strive to have back up plans and adapt to the best of my ability. Adaptability is one of the features and enormous positives of my custom trips.
Whether visitors are looking for thrilling adventure, nature expeditions, relaxation, or a deeper understanding of the surrounding areas, I am here to provide high-value, personalized, unforgettable experiences that people treasure for a lifetime..
