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!

Yoga holiday in Egypt, independent reviews

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
That's a difficult one... how to describe the lasting feeling of calm and contentment that stayed all week and that I have brought back with me? The sense of peace after a week of relaxation, yoga and new friends was wonderful, as were the views from the small and friendly hotel. The surrounding mountain area was calming and inspiring, a perfect place to chill out and get away from it all. This was a truly great escape.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Do it! Don't be daunted at the prospect of travelling alone as it's a friendly, warm and welcoming place.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Yes, I felt as though I saw a lot of the local community and gained a sense of how the hotel and its staff worked with the community in Dahab.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Fantastic, a truly great experience and I would like to thank everyone I met for their help and friendship. I would recommend this to anyone.
