What Our Travelers Say
Real feedback from travelers we’ve helped plan meaningful, stress-free adventures — from weekend getaways to once-in-a-lifetime journeys.

Origins of Adventure
Morocco
We were going to be in Spain for a couple of weeks and wanted to experience a bit of Morocco while there. Nick and Ana took the time to understand what we hoped to see and do with the limited time we had. The consultation call was professional but friendly. It was obvious that their goal was to ensure that we would have an enjoyable, stress free trip while making sure to have options for us along the way. Nick guided us as we traveled through the northern part of the country and absolutely delivered what we had hoped for. His knowledge of each of our destinations was fantastic, from the great hotels and places to eat to little gems that we would never have found in our own. I have a health condition and Nick was conscientious every step of the way to make sure that I was comfortable. Thank you, Nick and Ana, for another amazing adventure! We will certainly book with you again
Great itinerary around Japan
Great itinerary around Japan. From South to North every tip was very helpful. The guide we received before we started the trip helped us a lot to have an overview of the country and details we couldn’t miss. Tokio, Osaka, Kioto, the Japan Alps and Hokkaido. We really enjoy our experience abroad in family. We thank Ana and Nick for their dedication and care and for making things much easier so far away from home. Therefore I can just recommend them and definitely we will come back to you very soon.
An Absolutely Amazing Experience
Origins is Adventure guided us during a recent trip through Spain and it was such a wonderful experience. As world travelers ourselves, we wanted something deeper than just the usual touristy destinations and that’s exactly what they delivered. They guided us through parts of Madrid and Andalucía that we definitely wouldn’t have seen on our own. They knew hole in the wall wonders and hidden gems that really made our entire trip. Most of all, I appreciated how reliable and responsive they were. You can tell they actually care about creating something special because they’re avid travelers as well. It felt like having a local friend by your side the whole time. Nick and Ana clearly know their stuff. Every place and experience felt real and meaningful. If you’re someone who wants to explore a place with more depth and less stress, Origins of Adventure is absolutely worth it. Thanks again Nick and Ana for your fantastic expertise and support during our trip!
Why We Started Origins of Adventure
After traveling through nearly 30 countries — living in Madrid, backpacking through Japan, and discovering hidden gems in Southeast Asia — we realized something: the best experiences always came from local insight, not from top-10 lists. Origins of Adventure was born from our love of immersive, meaningful travel.
No cookie-cutter tours. No endless Google searches. Just custom travel planning backed by honest, local guidance from travelers who’ve been there — and want to help you go further.
