One of the main reasons many travellers choose Gecko's is the fact that we exclusively use tour leaders who were born and raised in the region. They are highly qualified, speak excellent English and their intimate knowledge of their homeland enables them to unlock doors and show you things that other travellers miss out on.

Travelling with a local leader means that you enjoy a uniquely local perspective, meeting your leaders' friends along the way, eating at restaurants that the locals eat at and seeing things you won't find in any guidebooks.

Aside from the benefit to you, the traveller. we are proud to say that by employing locals, we are providing income and training to local people.
