Austin-Lehman Adventures
One of the World's Best Tour Operators!
When searching for your next vacation, consider what makes an Austin-Lehman Adventure the one worth remembering!
Our 38 year legacy as an Adventure Travel Company speaks for itself
With a legacy going back to 1974, we've been sharing our love of adventure with our guests. Our longtime insider's knowledge and extensive contacts in each destination allow us to offer cultural and artistic experiences and encounters that give our guests a much more in-depth feel for the local people and their way of life.For an Adventure Travel Company - Smaller is Indeed Better
The owners whose names are on the door at Austin Lehman are intimately involved with our day-to-day operations. You'll even get personal attention right from the owners - the way a small and caring company should act and feel. There are just 12 guests on our adult trips and 18 on our family adventures. This affords each traveler a much more intimate and authentic experience and our guest-to-guide ratio is never more than 6:1. You'll enjoy swapping stories and laughter with our guides and they will too. We've also created special itineraries for our adventures which are more appropriate for families, solo adventurers and adults-only. Our Custom Trip Experts will happily help you plan every aspect of your trip with us.
Personalized Just For You
Our extraordinary guides will take the time to learn about each traveler in their group, finding unexpected and memorable ways to make your vacation very special. On an Austin-Lehman adventure, you can choose your style of vacationing from intense and active to kickback relaxation, and which activities you want to participate in. You can balance downtime with active challenge and learning and exploring. Most importantly, we know we still have things to learn so we listen and we use our guest's feedback everyday to ensure we are meeting your standards for an unforgettable adventure vacation.Authentic and Distinctive Lodging and Cuisine

You are a VIP at Austin-Lehman and we will deliver on your high standards for luxury quality and comfort.
