About GeoTours

Matt Ebiner in Iceland

Matt Ebiner is the founder, owner, and leader of GeoTours.  Matt has organized and led GeoTours groups to 87 countries from 2010-2024, including diverse destinations such as Namibia, Bangladesh, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Albania, Estonia, Madagascar, and Ethiopia, as well as more popular places like Peru, Ireland, Italy, Bali, South Africa, and Egypt.

Matt sees the world as a magnificent and fascinating place, and his travels continually confirm that.   He was a college geography professor for 35 years before retiring in 2021.  He inspired thousands of students to appreciate and understand the world, and has personally led trips to all the continents except Antarctica, exposing travelers to some of the world’s most beautiful and interesting places.   Matt loves nature, traditional cultures, photography, running, hiking, and religion, and he tries to incorporate most of these into the itineraries he designs for GeoTours.

Matt got his first big taste of travel as a 19-year old when he faced a summer with energy, enthusiasm, and time on his hands.  Consequently, he did a 49-day bicycle ride across the USA by himself and considers the 4000-mile trip to be one of his proudest accomplishments.  He has visited 160 countries as of 2024, and most of his travels have been with his wife Suzan (138 countries).  They have one daughter, Sophia, who is 18 years old and has traveled to 104 countries.  He looks forward to sharing the wonders of this world with you!
