Klaus Franz*, one of Vantage's many program managers in South America, brings deep knowledge and a great sense of humor to his job. Careful with that snake, Klaus!
Find out who will be leading your trip. One of the most important features of any vacation is the staff who will accompany you. Are they experienced? Knowledgeable? Caring? Professional?
A good escort, or Program Manager (PM), plays an integral role in the success of a tour. He or she works behind the scenes to make sure everything runs smoothly, skillfully turning complications into valuable adventures. Your Program Manager should be a seasoned professional, and it helps if the same escort stays with you for the length of your trip.
You’ll benefit if your Program Manager lives in the region you’re visiting. This assures that you’ll get an insider’s perspective. (Vantage’s top-notch Program Managers operate from satellite offices around the globe).
Most tour operators will not allow you to request specific PMs, so choose a tour operator that receives good all-around reviews on its program managers.
