Cycling along the quiet roads to Tegea was a high point was the most memorable. (more)Carol Sargent

One of the best holidays we've ever had! (more)Andy Wood

The whole trip was fascinating. Everywhere we went in Albania was amazing. Some highlights were the farmhouse luncheon in the mountains, Blue Eye Spring, the archaeological sites... the lake resort at Podredec … to name a few. (more)Neeta Bhadauria

Seeing a new country was the highlight. (more)Liz Rees

But there were so many other memorable moments such as the meals out in the desert, floating in the Dead Sea, visiting Mount Nebo. Petra itself is vast and two days is just enough time to get a sense of the place and see the main sights. (more)Gerry Griffiths

The most memorable moments were a night in Wadi Rum hosted by Bedouins, including a camel ride in the desert to see the sunset, an early morning sunrise experience and lovely local food. Equally wonderful was the trek on the back trails to the high sacred place. (more)David Downing

The two days in Petra were wonderful. Petra had so many surprises for us. I had only ever seen photos of the Treasury, so was not prepared for the Roman town, the Monastery and the High Place of Sacrifice etc. The night in the desert was brilliant - really exciting. (more)Lesley Wallace

Memorable parts? The attention given to us by our leader Mohammed he made sure we did not miss anything Tips? This is not a relaxing holiday there are early starts and long days but well worth it the train journey is long and not smooth all the way Local benefits? Yes. Overall rating? 5 star apart from the train journey. Saw everything we wanted plus more. It was a fabulous holiday, Mohammed is so knowledgeable - he is a credit to your company. Well done! (more)Elaine Gay

The entire route was memorable between places, orchards, wildflowers Coastal regions. History, architecture, the people and food and wine. (more)Sanjiv Dewan

Hard to pick out high points of this holiday because there were no low points. Even the brief and brutal thunderstorms on two occasions did not dampen the spirits (and only dampened cycling kit for a short while). The theatre at Epidavros was spectacular and the experience of staying in Napflio was memorable. (more)Lucy Watson

Every day presented something new and memorable. The archaeological aspects, notably at Epidaurus, Mycenae, and Argos, lived up to the epic tales that surround them. (more)Greg Liebman

Memorable parts? Too many great experiences to pick one.... the "hero" excursions were amazing, but so were all the little things. Warm bread at breakfast in Tripoli, lots of laughter as we cycled through cherry orchards, the peace and beauty of Galaxidi in the morning sunshine ... and successfully climbing all those stairs. Tips? Remember that you'll climb (lots of) hills and stair. Prepare your knees and wear the right shoes/sandals. Travel light. Local benefits? Yes.... (more)Lee Jeffery

Please note that our trip was a custom trip. Most exciting were: Camel ride in Wadi rum (1.5 days) Petra and the dead sea. (more)Constance Dassen

Go off the trails in Petra, and do the alternative routes with the guide (more)Aykut Konak

Three days Wadi Rum camel safari with guide, cook and very basic camping as you go. This was a truly spiritual experience, the night sky, the silence, the unflappability of the camels truly amazing and so authentic. (more)Jeff Powis

The most memorable was seeing all the incredible ancient monuments in the flesh. (more)Kim Lyons

Absolutely fabulous. We had a truly wonderful guide who put real enthusiasm into her presentations, was incredibly knowledgeable about all the sites and ancient Greek history and was able to answer every question asked. (more)Mike Mooney

The most memorable was the visit to Petra and Wadi Rum. Lived up to our expectations an would thoroughly recommend it to this who want to maximise there time in Ammna, although adding a few extra days would make the trip even more enjoyable, to give you a little relaxation time. (more)Ian Snowdon

It was all very good. The trip was put together very quickly and we travelled as a couple rather than a small group. (more)Paul Slater

Petra and wadi rum camp was special but we enjoy the whole tour it was beyond our expectations. Very good, the guide was great, advised and supported us. We really appreciated it. (more)Mariam Amode

Really enjoyed the ruins and museums being spiced up with cycling, hiking, hands-on Greek cooking, wine tasting at local winery and the cave visit. (more)Mike Wotton

Amazing trip! We had a fantastic time. Particularly big thanks to our tour guide. We would highly recommend the trip. (more)Laura Bridson

I am happy to tell you that this vacation was our very best ever. My husband and I went with our 16-year old granddaughter. What was so great about the trip was that it appealed so much to all of us, despite our very different ages and different interests. (more)Ellen Lambert

Excellent...Getting to Mycenae early enough to go straight to the top of the sight and having five minutes absorbing the atmosphere on our own. (more)Nicholas Rigby-Jones

The mountains around Nizwa in Oman and the night spent on the dhow off the coast near Muscat was the most memorable. (more)Vicki Neech

Memorable parts? So many to choose from but Petra by candlelight, swimming in the dead sea and snorkling in the red sea are the ones that come to mind first. Tips? Make sure to take advantage of snorkling in the dead sea, do the hike to the high sacrifice place in Petra where you will be rewarded with an amazing view of the treasury and maybe add an extra day or so to your holiday to do some of your own exploring in downtown Amman (and have dinner at hashem's - a remarkably down-to-earth... (more)Elaine Leigh

Memorable parts? It was absolutely fantastic to be able to visit so many places from the sea, going into small harbours and tying up among local fishing boats. Most visitors explore the Peloponnese by bus which involves long periods of travel, but we were never moored more than 30 minutes away from anything. The itinerary was well paced with a good mix of site visits, travel along the amazingly scenic coastline, and interesting talks about Greece, its history, customs and anything we wanted... (more)Hilary Richards

Very busy, as expected, but very enjoyable (more)Simon Phillips

Good - enjoyed it.... For me the ascent of Etna was one of the highlights. (more)Laurence Cale

Visiting outstanding classical sights such as the quarry in Syracuse where 7000 athenians were enslaved was the most memorable part of the holiday (more)Adam Patchett
