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!
(more)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. (more)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! (more)This holiday was our honeymoon and it was exactly what we were wanting. Idylicc location in the mountains, so quiet and relaxing. (more)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. (more)The bicycle riding was wonderful. We covered 45-60 miles every day and I enjoyed the physical exercise very much. The Nepalese camp crew and cook were awesome -- they worked hard to make our trip so enjoyable. (more)We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review.
