I loved the scale of the number of pagodas in Bagan. It was truly amazing. 10 out of 10. Interesting, rich culturally, exciting and immersive. (more)Elizabeth Ross
Early morning in Bagan looking from one of the higher stupas over the whole plain was the most memorable moment. (more)Stephen Turner

Memorable parts?
The hubbub of Mexico City and all the sights and museums within (we could only sample a few, regretfully!); and the laid back charm of San Cristobal with its streets, processions and central plaza activities.
Tips?
- Be ready for temperature variations - from cold/nippy to warm/hot!
- For vegetarians, be ready for limited eating options;
- for those who haven't had Mescal in the past, don't be worried - it tastes great, as do the salted and fried crickets served... (more)CK Sharma

Really difficult to pinpoint a most memorable or exciting part, the whole trip was surreal. The trip was well organized; small group size was perfect; guide was knowledgeable, fun to be with, attentive - all the good stuff. (more)Jane McLaughlin

The whole experience was amazing. Cuba is a fantastic place to go and one which is going to change so dramatically in our lifetimes. The atmosphere across the whole island was so warm and vibrant, with live music being heard on every street corner. (more)Faye T

The excursions which were well thought out and very informative. So much we wouldn't have known if it wasn't for Benoit. Corrines cookery lesson was amazing too and very relaxed.

By the end of the week (helped by the glorious weather) I had laughed a lot, had some hugely interesting conversations, seen some beautiful places, learnt a lot of interesting facts, made some new friends, eaten some delicious food, tried lots of new things and completely relaxed. I practically cried when I had to leave, I'd loved it so much! (more)Ali James
