Expedition
Get Out There

We were trying to plan a cruise to Antarctica for 2023. Initially, we researched several cruise lines and had decided on Viking based on availability and cost. Upon further research we discovered Viking based your excursion ability on your cabin level. If you were a top tier cabin you were guaranteed a spot on the tender that went to shore in the Antarctic. The lower the cabin level ($) the less options you had for excursions. We didn't want to go all that way only to wait daily for an upper tier passenger to decide they didn't want to go to shore that day. Upon discovering Ralph Iantosca, through a relative, we were pleasantly surprised at the level of service he provided from the initial planning, extending our stay and providing travel details we might have missed. He suggested Linblad Nat'l Geo as an option for our adventure. This cruise line has area professionals that can provide a unique experience and fewer guests to crew ratio than Viking. Ralph also arranged a local tour guide for our stay in Chile. Thank you Ralph!

Ralph provides Exceptional service and is always available to answer questions.

He is truly the best of the best! When Ralph plans a trip it is first class all of the way!! He and his assistant Michael go a step above when planning a trip for you! He has planned several trips that myself and friends go on over the years! They have all been the best put together trips I have ever been on!

Ralph picked out outstanding lodges which had both great accommodations, food, and wildlife viewing. Bisate Lodge in Rwanda, our headquarters for gorilla trekking, was especially spectacular featuring rooms literally fit for royalty (designs based of living quarters of tribal kings) with views of the volcanoes. We also got to experience some amazing and interesting cultural experiences, sing and dancing with the locals. The travel times were long but well organized and flowed more or less seamlessly. I would work with Ralph anytime (actually the 3rd trip he has arranged for myself and my wife) and recommend him to anyone.

Working with Ralph was wonderful. He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and on top of details. He had lots of good suggestions to make our trip fantastic and always followed through on the details. He made our trip a very memorable event!
