Red Sea diving holidays
The diving was fantastic. This is definitely the place to go if you want to dive and snorkle. It’s a great location too, near the main stretch but far enough away to allow you to enjoy your peace and quiet. (more)Amanda Okill
The most memorable parts were my first dive as a qualified open water diver & being able to enjoy watching all the colourful fish and corals. (more)Jenny Tither
Excellent... Diving in the blue hole was the most memorable part. (more)Vanessa Redmond
From £380 excluding flights
Altiplano de Granada activity holiday, Spain
Fantastic, relaxing, and inspiring! A great place for friends, families and couples. The region is stunningly beautiful and the hiking is top-notch. (more)Maria Falgoust
A fantastic retreat - exceptional hospitality in an incredibly beautiful place. The setting and scenery, the warm hospitality and relaxing, homely atmosphere and the peace and tranquility were the most memorable parts. (more)Bridget Lovell
A fantastic holiday. We couldn't have wished for a better week and have brought some lovely memories home with us. (more)Jo Burnett
From €180 - €330 excluding flights
Greek Islands and Lycian Coast sailing holiday
Memorable parts? Exploring beautiful islands in Greece on a sailboat. Probably pulling into the Island of Symi and then exploring. Rhodes was also a highlight. Tips? Pack light. Other than that, don't worry about a thing. Local benefits? Yep. Better way to go than a huge, disgusting cruise ship. Overall rating? Stellar. It was exactly what I wanted. (more)Matthew Wardlow
From €800 - €1600 excluding flights
Activity holidays in Turkey
One of the best- excellent. A local Turkish guide who is knowledgeable, spoke excellent english and was passionate about you enjoying yourself really made it. (more)Sarah Gabbott
This was, according to our children, the best holiday that they have ever been on and they can't wait to go back. They loved the varied culture, the friendliness of all of the people they met, the range of activities that they took part in as well as the additional ones that were arranged for them - parascending and scuba diving. (more)Ian Pollard
All activities were fantastic and very well planned. Rafting and Canyoning were amazing! This holiday was fabulous. (more)Vaishali Avery
From £445 - £480 excluding flights
Turkey activity holiday
Memorable parts? The canyoning part, definitely. Followed by a night by the river, with BBQ and nice chats. To wake up and enjoy a demanding, yet fun, rafting day. Tips? Appropriate clothing and sport gear as temperatures can be quite high and activities quite challenging. Local benefits? Yes I do, especially due to the local guide who loves his country and his doing his best to protect it against anything (garbage, mass tourism, incivilities...) which may alter it. He knows,...

From £520 - £560 excluding flights
Chitwan safari & rafting in Nepal
The whole trip was amazing. We covered a range of environments within Nepal - bustling Kathmandu, the exotic Chitwan jungle resort, Pokhara and the beautiful (and sometimes scary) mountain roads in between. (more)Titus Powell
Definitely use this operator as they were superb. Thoroughly organised. We were very well looked after. They gave us lots of local information. They were brilliant. (more)Emma Reynolds
Staying in Chitwan National Park, going on the elephant back safaris and being a part of the elephant bathing there were definitely highlights of the trip. Seeing the rhinos, crocodile and monkeys were a lot of fun, and so was seeing Mt. Everest. (more)Nicole Babyak
From US $385 excluding flights
Activity holiday in Nepal
Elephant bath time at Chitwan, the chilled out atmosphere in Pokhara and the people I met along the way were the most memorable parts of this trip. (more)andrew noble
The mountain flight to Everest from Kathmandu, and bathing with an elephant in Chitwan National Park were the most memorable parts. (more)Fiona Scott
The scenery is breathtaking, the people wonderful and the rafting was so good. Chitwan was a totally different world and we felt very pampered and spoilt. (more)Liz Rowe
From £1250 excluding flights
Sea kayaking holiday on the Turquoise coast
Quite an adventure, and requiring a reasonable level of fitness. Fantastic scenery, perfect weather and great swimming and snorkelling opportunities. (more)Alice baverstock
Stunning coastlines and great people; my favourite part was kayaking into this fabulous cave where the light turned the whole cave a beautiful blue colour. (more)Ross Geraghty
We had a fantastic time, loved the kayaking, camping and the scenery. Having a Turkish guide gave us a much better insight to the country, local food and history. (more)Fizz Williams
From £470 excluding flights
Activity holiday in Andalucia, Spain
Memorable parts? Visiting the Alhambra Palace in Granada was amazing - it was a hot sunny day with many visitors but we still managed to explore the Palace and discover its peacefulness and innate beauty. We also loved exploring the Sierra Nevada mountains on foot. A stunning, awesome landscape - it literally took our breath away as we reached the snow capped summits. Wonderful delicious food and wine - added an extra dimension to the holiday - cooked and presented with love by the chef.... (more)Charlotte Adcock
From €500 excluding flights
Multi-activity holiday in the French Alps
Memorable parts? Wonderful accomodation. We were really sad to leave our very gracious hosts. They were the best! They provided the best meals (and the best company) we had on our entire visit to Europe. All the activities were special (trekking, cycling, horse riding and via ferrata). The two peaks we climbed were highlights for me. Our guide, Bernard, deserves, extra credit for getting us there. We were definately not his easiest group. Tips? Enjoy it! Local benefits? Yes.... (more)Elroy Campbell
From €298 - €796 excluding flights
Winter activity holiday in the French Alps
The young people Sam and Rachel achieved confidence respectively in snowboarding and downhill skiing in a small quiet resort at Ancelle for the first three days...Successful as a way of satisfying all ages and giving the family precious time to be on our own without the pressures of work and university. (more)Rosemary Rayner
The most memorable part was snow shoeing on a beautiful sunny Christmas Day and completing our first Via Ferrata. (more)Lynn Clunie
From €475 - €1202 excluding flights
Catalonia self guided cycling holiday, Spain
Splendid. An unforgettable experience. (more)John Watson
We really enjoyed our week and visited some beautiful locations on our bikes. The crew were very friendly and helpful. I would not hesitate in recommending them. The accommodation was excellent and again we were given a very warm welcome. (more)Carolyn Rogers
The most memorable part was cycling down to the Mediterranean on the 4th day of cycling, the views were fantastic and the tracks and roads were great...Excellent! (more)Karen Bethune
From £426 - £840 excluding flights
Horse riding holiday in Romania
Galloping full tilt over the open grasslands of Transylvania was most memorable...Excellent - with a real sense of achievement for having stood the distance! (more)Jane Henderson
Excellent... Riding in the snow, skiiing, visit to Bran castle were most memorable. (more)Anna Faure
This was an amazing holiday, the horses were very well trained. We did some really long canters, to the point where I was asking if we could stop for a rest! Christoph and Barbara have something very special here. (more)Glenys Howarth
From £700 excluding flights
Horse Riding holiday across the Andes
Riding and nature varied and impressive and all the time fascinating. Pleasant, friendly atmosphere. In general the most inspiring, exiting and well organized experience we have ever tried. (more)Marianne Skott
Definitely among the greats. Fell in love with my Chilean horse, unfortunately too big for the hand luggage. (more)Christian Roan
From £3560 excluding flights
Sardinia diving holidays, Italy
Really really good...Definitely the diving as recommended by Responsible Travel, I'm hoping to go back next year. (more)Leanne Marshall
Really enjoyable. Cinzia and all the people at the dive centre are friendly, good fun and understanding instructors and the apartment is a nice place to stay. Good choice of restaurants in the town. (more)Catherine Baart
Very good - the operator staff were really knowledgeable and helpful (eg: offering to go to the GP with us if there was a language problem); the snorkelling was wonderful; the apartment, food and weather were great. It was a really relaxing holiday. (more)AW
From €322 - €630 excluding flights
Hot air ballooning holiday in Cappadocia
Most memorable? Definitely the balloon flight. Seeing the landscape from above is like seeing it for the first time again... The hotel, tours and balloon flights were all local outfits, no multinationals... Really enjoyed it, despite variable weather (early April). (more)Anthony Preston
Could not fault it - really great for learning about the culture and history of the region and the hot air ballooning was great fun. (more)David Harris
I had an absolutely amazing time. From hiking, to flying to learning about local history and culture, this was the perfect holiday for me. (more)Siobhan Doyle
From £650 - £925 excluding flights
Activity holiday in France
The boys loved cayonning - jumping off of cayons into pools; I loved horse riding American style through the mountains - it was fantastic & Liz was a terrific guide. We also climbed up to some glacial lakes with Mel - which was an incredible experience. (more)Natalie Wiggins
The Mercantour is a spectacular area of France and being off the tourist beaten track makes it all the more beautiful. (more)Claire Fellows
A wonderful experience. 10/10. Liz and Mel had everything covered, organised, thought out. They really do want their guests to have a great holiday, and do all they can to achieve that. I will certainly be recommending this holiday to people, and would hope to go again myself. (more)Tracey Hall
From £695 excluding flights
Portugal cycling holidays, self guided
Top notch...Cycling through orange groves in the sunshine and stopping to feast on big juicy oranges was the most memorable part.... Fantastic scents from the forests of warm eucalyptus will always remind us of Portugal. (more)Liz Martin
The range of beautiful places that you visit - cycling through gorgeous countryside with orange trees all along the way, stunning beaches, pretty villages, interesting towns and bright blue skies every day. (more)Jane Wills
We enjoyed the riding through the hills and the extra trip out to the lighthouse and westernmost part of Portugal. Terrific! (more)Tim Rudkins
From €549 - €623 excluding flights
Diving & mountain biking in Vietnam
The food - absolutely delicious everywhere we went, even the meal cooked by our guide in a Tay minority homestead where we ate with the family and drank rice wine welcome shots. Phu Quoc Mango Bay resort - peaceful, eco-friendly, lots of options. The scenery - highlights, Mount Fan Xi Pan from Sapa and Halong Bay. (more)Diana Orton
We had a fantastic time and would recommend this operator to anyone travelling to Vietnam. The management of the tour was excellent. We loved Vietnam, from the food to the people to the places. There is much to see and do and we felt that our tour covered many of the beautiful areas in Vietnam. (more)Annalet van Deventer
Surviving the throng of motorbikes in the streets of Hanoi was the most memorable part. (more)Rachel Crossley
From US $1892 excluding flights
Ecuador activity holiday
Memorable parts? Wildlife - birds, dolphins, turtles, snakes, Jesus lizard. Tips? At altitude, acclimatise. In sea, be careful of sting rays - take copies of documents. Local benefits? Yes-very much. A proportion of money goes directly to conservation. Also, much of my trip was eco tourist focused and I ate and spent locally. Overall rating? Brilliant - an unexpected bonus was the social democratic ideas in Ecuador-they can teach us a lot. Ecuador is incredibly diverse,... (more)Phil Madden
From US $1205 excluding flights
Horse trekking holiday in Mongolia
Memorable parts? On the day that we rode to the reindeer people, we went up, and down, a mountain covered with the most delicate pine trees, and the forest floor was carpeted with flowers. The silence was absolute, the ground muddy and boggy, with tree roots and loose stones everywhere. The horses didn't put a foot wrong, and the wonderful pack horses amazingly wound their way between the trees without once bumping their enormous packs. It was like being in Fairyland. Tips? Take... (more)Sally Frohlich
From £2695 including domestic flights only
Trekking holiday in Cuba
Memorable parts? Certainly interesting was the venture to see Castro's headquarters in Alta Naranjo. Tips? Ask cost of tour before accepting offered tours. The city tour of Holquin, was more expensive than I would have thought. It was not clear to me when we were dropped off, that it was/ was not included in our payments. Also, I definitely think the trek should be condensed into 2 days in the park and not 3. When we were there we met a large UK group who did it in 2 days, and... (more)Christina Parsons
From £230 - £555 excluding flights
