For me it was the first time for such a holiday and I would definitely go back and do it again. It was very enjoyable.

The most memorable part of our holiday was the time spent in a very remote area of Tanzania with the Masai. We were privileged to visit their homes and witness their day to day living. An amazing experience!

My most memorable parts were the fantastic rides, the buzz you get when you reach the top of an exhausting climb and then get to whizz down descents that will really get the adrenaline pumping through your body!

It was really great - a fantastic experience... Most memorable was camping on a steppe just below the highest Atlas Mountains. Very cold but beautiful and remote.

Fantastic mountain biking in a beautiful location - one of the best holidays I've been on and I came away feeling I'd really pushed myself physically and mentally, and achieved something.

Hiding out from the rain in a local families nice warm ger being given homemade yaks cheese and yak yoghurt vodka was the most memorable part.

It was great to see the fantastic scenery and villages of the South West and this was just the mountain biking challenge I was looking for, both in terms of technical skill and fitness.

This holiday was our honeymoon and it was exactly what we were wanting. Idylicc location in the mountains, so quiet and relaxing.

The most memorable part of the holiday for me was staying in a beautiful old-style Chinese town, Shaxi, currently only reachable by cobblestone road. It was a complete joy to stay in a traditional Chinese house with the rooms set around a courtyard.

It was a great experience and also a wonderful example of family bonding. I had done something like this before which was the reason I knew about it - but my children and husband were pretty dubious at the prospect. In the end they absolutely loved the whole thing and fell in love with the Masai guides.
