TravelQuest International … A Travel Industry Leader

 
 
     
 
 

The birth of what is today, TravelQuest International, is, as the Beatles wrote, " a long and winding road".
 
Throughout my childhood, my father Yervant (Edward) Kaprielian owned a travel agency in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Moving the family in 1970 to San Diego, California, he created a group tour company, Travel Bug International. In 1982, after some university studies I started working with 

 
my father, operating local group tours throughout Southern California. With my personal interest in astronomy, archeology and natural history, over the years my father and I evolved Travel Bug into a company specializing in educational group travel.  
 
     
  Years went by, my father retired, and in 1996 Travel Bug became TravelQuest. Since 1996, TravelQuest has become one of the most successful astronomical tour companies in the world. From chasing the elusive aurora borealis to witnessing a total solar eclipse, we have taken our clients from the North Pole to the South Pole, from Africa to Europe to Asia to the America’s.  
     
  In the coming years we plan to more actively develop programs that focus on other areas of natural history, like archeology and geology, along with social growth.  
     
 

Quite often, half the travelers on a TravelQuest tour have traveled with us before. We are proud of that fact. It tells us that people like how we plan and operate our tours. Our travelers come from all walks of life and from all over the world. And while we cater predominately with a North American clientele, it is not uncommon for us to have travelers with us from South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.

 
     
  On a TravelQuest tour you will be exposed to new destinations in the company of fellow travelers that share a passion for our natural world.  
     
  Take the worry out of your travel experience ... we have done all the planning and research for you. Our trips include high quality accommodations, transportation and meals. Our guides are among the best in the industry, and our local contacts open doors not always available to independent travelers.  
     
 

Our story is an exciting, ever changing one. We look forward to your being a part of it.
