Wild food cookery weekend in Scotland
The most memorable and exciting part of the holiday was drinking nettle beer as the sun went down on the Saturday night. We'd had a busy day digging, foraging and cooking, so seeing it all come together at the end of the day with a crackling fire and that beautiful view of the valley below was truly memorable. (more)
From £150 - £170 excluding flights
Learn to dive in Sardinia, Italy
One of the most memorable parts of my trip was a snorkelling excursion along the Golfo di Orosei. Along the way, as we sailed past all the stunning beaches and caves, Cinzia gave us plenty of information about the geography and nature along the coast, but all in a very humorous and fun way. Once in the crystal clear water we were lucky enough to see a couple of weird and wonderful creatures. (more)
From €410 - €830 excluding flights
Brecon Beacons bed & breakfast accommodation, Wales
The most memorable part was getting to the top of the mountain to see the amazing views and feeling very proud that despite bike injuries (minor) I made it to the top!  (more)
From £55 - £70 per room per night (sleeps 2)
North Cornwall luxury organic accommodation, England
Gill and Neil make you feel very at home and I was very well looked after. I even got a ride out in the pony and trap one evening - an added bonus! I had a lovely, relaxing week and would definitely recommend this accommodation to other people. I would be very happy to stay there again in the future. (more)

Yoga weekend in the West of Ireland
The most memorable parts were the fabulous yoga classes and the beautiful Irish scenery...7/10. (more)
From €290 - €790 excluding flights
Wine tasting holiday in the Loire Valley
The good memories started from our very first contact with responsible travel. They put us in touch with Mark and his wife and the wonderful chateau they live in which became our B@B for 3 nights. I felt we were visiting friends at the wineries because of Mark's relationship with the small vintners.  (more)
From €450 - €650 excluding flights
Scottish Highlands nature and wellbeing retreat
The most memorable part of the holiday was during dolphin-watching, when a baby dolphin with it’s' mother, dived in and out of the water, around both sides of our boat. They swam very close to us. Sarah, who steered the boat, knew the sea area near Cromarty and the Black Isle extremely well. She gave us an informative and exhilarating boat journey. (more)
From £450 - £490 excluding flights
Nilgiri hills eco homestay accommodation in Tamil Nadu, India
We find it hard to pull out one memorable part of our 3 days with Rajat and family at their wonderful home in the Nilgiri Hills. I think though if we had to pick one thing it would be the extraordinary warmth, hospitality and kindness bestowed on us by the family from the moment we stepped out of the car. We were made to feel like long-lost family or best friends.  (more)
From £100 per couple per night
Walking navigation & mountaineering courses in Scotland
