It was very memorable and exciting, and a good idea to go on a tour through a country that would be difficult to navigate alone.
(more)Most memorable was staying in a remote raft house in the middle of a lake surrounded by rainforest and gibbons!
(more)For me personally the walking in the high Tatra mountains was the highlight followed by the Adrspach rocky town area (more)From simply sitting on a sand bank on the side of Ganges watching the birdlife after enjoying a sumptuous meal prepared by a local man with nothing more than the ingredients and utensils that he had on his boat to dressing up and being treated like Kings in the Maharajas palace it was just all fantastic. (more)
Sailing around Halong bay, Motor cycling through the back streets of Hue, dancing with the children in the villages were the highlights. (more)
The most memorable parts of our trip must be the crazy cyclo tour through the streets of Saigon and eating insects in a bar overlooking Phnom Penh! (more)
Hmmm, hard to choose just one most memorable part since the whole trip was so great!...Overall my trip to China was one of the best vacations I've ever had. (more)
We had a number of local guides showing us around places such as Elephantine Island as well as several stays with local families which were fantastic (more)Hard to judge as it was all so brilliant, but probably the felucca trip and diving in Dahab were the most memorable. The sights are amazing and the people friendly, who could ask for more on a fab holiday! (more)We had the most wonderful holiday, saw some amazing sights, met some really lovely people and had a great great holiday, I would certainly recommend the moroccan holiday to friends. (more)
Some of the most fun I had during the trip was in the mini-van with the other travellers. Including my tour leader Diego, who was not only a great laugh, but also very organised and flexible with our itinerary. (more)
This is a fantastic way to be given a taste of what a wide area of the south of India has to offer, and helps highlight places to which a return is required! (more)The most memorable occasion was the meal prepared for us by the family in the house on stilts and the chance to try the local delicacy (afterwards), fried tarantula. (more)
Thoroughly enjoyable with a fabulous small group of really friendly people who shared all aspects of the tour in fun whilst caring for the people and their language. (more)
It was an excellent holiday one of our best holidays. The local guide was lovely, he tried to teach us an elephant song! (more)Highlights were the hot air ballooning at sunrise, meeting the donkeys on landing to ride to the valley of the Kings & going into the tombs, all on the final day!! (more)The guides were excellent and very flexible, willing to change schedules if possible to suit our needs, the transport always turned up exactly on time, the accommodation was exactly as described and the places visited were all breathtaking in their beauty and animal and plant life. (more)
It is impossible to say in just one or two sentences. The people of Cambodia are incredible; however, the local guides that we had were wonderful as well as Tracey our "facilitator" (more)
The walk along the Great Wall was terrific. Also the cycle ride in the country and Terracotta army of course were the highlights. (more)I had such a good time, the size of the group was just right and the age band was not too wide. Our guide was very competent and really made the trip work, it was so stress free.
(more)We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
