Travel with Jack Witt on an Active World Journey tour. You’ll meet amazing new people, get to see for yourself the truth about a country, instead of just hearing and reading what the media has to say. Our trips have been beyond belief, all with excellent local guides, pleasant traveling companions, and always the finest of accommodations, ranging from camping in Bedouin tents in Jordan to 5-star hotels. Take the leap, travel with Jack, you won’t be sorry!

I’m always traveling with Jack’s Active World Journey Adventures. They are fun and active, lots of cultural immersion, and plenty of opportunities to taste the local foods and drinks. The Inca Trail Trek and the Holy Land Tour were once in a lifetime experience for me!! Cuba was amazing too!

I have had the pleasure of attending 3 trips with our primary go to guy Jack Witt. If someone had ever told me I would travel to the Middle East and Cuba I would have said no way! But the people Jack hires to be our guides have been so kind, caring, informative. I have never felt any fear. These 3 trips have been some of the best in my life, but my sister is forever going to all different places in the world and I have been so lucky to accompany her. I’m really interested in where my next adventure (hopefully with Jack Witt at the helm) will take me. I have also met so many wonderful people on these trips and can’t wait to travel with them again.

I’ve traveled with Jack and his Active World Journey groups to Costa Rica, Peru and Machu Pichu, The Holy Land of Israel/Palestine/Jordan, and most recently Egypt. The tours are very exciting and it’s always such a fun group of people to travel with. In fact it feels like family each and every time. Jack is very motivational, and you can tell he loves organizing and hosting these wonderful active world journeys.
