I would like to go to India and, maybe, Nepal next fall. I've been looking at companies on the web. Has anyone ever traveled with Bootsnall? I traveled to Peru with Gapadventures last year and had a great time. Are the two companies similar?

Does bootnall do tours? I thought it was "just" a website. If you liked GAP you could take a look at Intrepid, Peregrine, Imaginative Traveller, Explore!, Gecko, Adventures Abroad.....

Maybe, I'm confused. There is a tab for adventure trips on the website. There is no mention of those tours being run or offered by others.

Interesting. Looks like two different things going on. One is "bootsnall exclusives" - the four featured trips on the main Adventure Travel page, for instance. Likely run for them by one of the "adventure" travel companies. The other is that they are selling tours run by other companies. For example, the Classic Kerala tour is an Intrepid tour - the itinerary description is identical on both web sites, as are the tour dates, although bootsnall seems to be out of date on the availability info. They are not the only site to do this, but if you read the catalogues you can usually recognize the accompanying maps....

In case anyone is still wondering-Boots 'n All is a very poorly run organisation.

I once registered for their web forums and after some rather frank posts one of their Mods started
stalking me, even to the point of phoning my home at all hours ranting and raving-of course he obtained my home number from info I gave them which I thought would be kept confidential but no such luck and no scruples with that bunch.

The management of B 'n A would do <u>nothing</u> and the harassment stopped only after I contacted police here in Canada and in the USA.

The miscreant-one Ron Grittleson of somewhere remote in Oregon state-who posted as 'Old Hippie' was ironically Mod of the Spiritual Traveler Forum-ironic because he was anything but spiritual but was a mean vindictive drunken old boor.

I say <i>was</i> because he's since passed away-from all accounts his stomach rotted from all the bile he wallowed in.

In the beginning B 'n A was a site for travel info but has morphed into a tour agency, sending people on tours and talking a rakeoff-definitely <i><b>Not Recommended</b></i>
