I just found out about the merger between Peregrine, Geckos and ImTrav. I've booked a few trips with ImTrav and been very happy with the service. I came to the website to book another holiday only to find that ImTrav is no longer an option for me. I am not interested in the Adventurer level trips now offered by Geckos but instead want to book at the Traveller level. Now that these have been transferred to Peregrine, I am priced out of the market. They are far too expensive compared to other competitors like Gap and Explore. Yes, you probably get more but I don't need more nor can I afford it. The few remaining affordable trips are only available to those in the UK so that's me done. I understand that the market may have dictated the change and I'm sorry that there will be no more ImTrav trips for me but at least I have options with other vendors.
RIP ImTrav!
CHANGES!!
Dear ImTrav,
I hear the above traveller. After having travelled with IT over several years I was "surprised", "shocked", etc. with the merger.
My travels with you were wonderful and perfect. They were timely, cost efficient and cost effective.
The "merger" is costing folks and perhaps giving less and the sad part is that the tour guides that you have used in the past have been "let go" and are floating on their own. Bye, bye, IT which is very, very sad.
You had some great tour guides in various countries and they are no longer working for you. Won't name names but if you would like to contact me, I will give you specific names of some of the great ones that I found over time.
Very sad indeed.
