Holiday Reviews
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 trip can have different views!

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
So many memorable aspects of the holiday. My favourites would have to be the 2 night stay in a bamboo hut on the beach at the red sea - Sawa Camp. Brilliant. Overnight stay on a felucca on the Nile. Overnight stay in Wadi Rum in Bedouin Camp.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Peel all fruit before eating - quite a few people suffered after-effects from salads/fruit.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Lots of the overnights were facilitated by local people, who had the opportunity to share information about their lives with us. I've no doubt that local people also learn a lot from visitors who are engaging and respectful. Visitors also had many opportunities to purchase items produced and sold by locals who take pride in their work and who benefitted from the opportunities to sell to their visitors.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Holiday was great overall - facilitated by guides that were supportive, engaging, knowledgeable about local customs and who shared lots of pieces of information that the average package holiday maker would not have access to.
