Amazing Journeys - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I look back at the amazing journeys I have had with Amazing Journeys and I am amazed over and over again! I have sped across Inle Lake in an open boat in Myanmar, have wandered around Shanghai, a city of almost 25 million (my town has around 34,000) in amazement at the numbers of everything, flew out of a low valley in a small plane flying over 14,000 ft mountains in New Zealand and snorkeled on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, hiked to the base of Mt Fitzroy in Patagonia, went white water rafting and ocean kayaking in Croatia, and kayaked among ice bergs off of Greenland. Like, WOW, I actually had these unique life experiences!

These are just some highlights of the adventure filled, super well-organized trips I have been on with Amazing Journeys. Malory has earned her title of Chief Amazement Officer. Touring with other jewish people gives a feeling of family and friendship right from the beginning. Details of trips are all taken care of, well organized, with great food and fabulous hotels. Amazing Journeys is a class company.

I just had a great safari trip with Amazing Journeys. Great group of people, great travel leader (Stacy) from Amazing Journeys. It was great mix of safaris as well a history of Africans and Jews during our Cape Town portion of the trip.

Just got back from Southern Africa and it was far and away the best trip we have ever taken. Amazing Journeys was awesome! Everything was perfect. Great itinerary, attention to detail, and super friendly people. Couldn't have been any better. Highly recommend.

I am incredibly disappointed with my experience with Amazing Journeys, especially given the personal efforts I made to make this trip happen. I had booked a special landmark birthday celebration with Malori Asman, the owner, for May 2025. After putting in significant time and effort, including flying up from Florida for a doctor's clearance and spending over 2 hours with American Airlines to book my flights, my reservation was suddenly canceled by Malori on December 6, 2024.

The issue began when I called to make a payment and asked Malori a question about adding an extra hotel night. I was confused by her answer, which led to further miscommunication. To add to the frustration, I had worked with the insurance company to cover the trip, and I was advised by American Airlines to book a hotel in Athens due to tight flight connections. Despite all of these efforts, I was met with false claims and rhetoric from Malori, who blamed me for actions that were clearly not mine. To make matters worse, she ghosted me, leaving me with no resolution or explanation.

It is incredibly disheartening to be treated this way by someone who is supposed to be providing services to Jewish travelers, especially given that the owner has shown a lack of integrity and professionalism. The experience felt not only unprofessional but also discriminatory, with a failure to answer my travel question and to blame me unjustly. I would not recommend Amazing Journeys to anyone. The owner, Malori Asman, has proven to be unethical, dishonest, and inconsiderate.

Yes, I would travel to the ends of the earth with Amazing Journeys. So far the two trips taken with Amazing Journeys were chock full of eye opening adventures with rocking itineraries. Long after the adventures I am left with memories that inspire me and friends that I treasure.

Amazing Journeys makes traveling easy. They think of every detail and provide explicit pre-trip instructions. The team is always open to questions and it is obvious this is more than a business to them, they really make you feel like family. During the trip they are with you to assist with anything you need, are friendly and the good energy they add to the trip is immeasurable.

It's scary to travel alone. But, when I make a reservation for an Amazing Journeys trip I am confident. I know their trips attract high caliber individuals and the AJ team does everything in their power to make the travels easy and enjoyable.

I'm so glad that AJ is around and I was lucky enough to hear about them.

My last trip with Amazing Journeys was the Paris-Normandy river cruise. It was just what I needed, lovely people, good accommodations and interesting tours. Amazing Journeys took very good care of us, was on hand at every turn & event, and the choice of AMA and our AMA tour manager were exceptional. Truly always tactful, polite and accommodating. I have already booked my next trip with AJ and am looking forward with pleasure to travelling with the 'team' and the old and new friends I have made. I came home totally refreshed and ready to face 'real' life. Thank you Amazing Journeys for a wonderful time.

AJ's itinerary and execution in Morocco were top notch. They curated a great mix of cities with off the beaten path activities. Logistics, transportation, communication, delivery...I am so impressed! Erin is a doll and so nice to travel with. Guides (Mohammad and other local guides) were best of the best!

Amazing Journeys is truly Amazing! I have traveled all 7 continents with them and all of the trips were handled in a very professional, interesting and fun way. There are a variety of trips offered. Everything is taken care of from the time you land in the place to start your trip until you fly home. After you have traveled with Amazing Journeys, you become part of their family of travelers. I've made wonderful friends from throughout the world and look forward to traveling with them again soon.
