Try refuge trekking in France
Robert Mason, from our supplier Mountainbug, shares his advice on refuge trekking:“Refuge trekking along the high Pyrenees and Alps is a great way to explore some paths that are completely wild. Between points you stay in refuges, which are like small mountain hostels, a bit like a youth hostel in that it’s very communal with communal bunks, but in which you get a really good cooked meal and the chance to meet some interesting people. From mid-July, you can do high-level refuge trekking trips that can last for up to 40 days and travel right the way across the mountains. That’s a perfect time to come because the snow has melted and you can access high areas without crampons, ice axes and all the specialist gear. People worry that summer is too hot to trek in, but it’s not, for every 100m you travel up, you lose a degree in heat, so August is comfortable too – say you’re in the Pyrenees at 1,300m, while it’s 30 degrees down in Toulouse, you’ll be walking in the far more temperate 20s.”
Respect Croatia’s tricky past
Croatia travel advice from Ivana Grzetic, from our supplier Adria Adventure:“Don't talk too much about the past, as people are still sensitive regarding the 1990s. Remember that a lot of these people have been through the war, and so it is nice to be a little bit humble when talking about it because you never know what happened to somebody's family. This applies mostly to the Dubrovnik region that was affected the most. If you do want to talk about it, inform yourself about it before you go.”

Tips from our travellers in Europe
We have selected some of the most useful Europe travel tips that our guests have provided over the years to help you make the very most of your holiday - and the space inside your suitcase.


“Be aware of language differences in Romania. Up in the mountains they do not speak Romanian - they speak Hungarian! Your Romanian phrase book will not help you here!” – Mark Stickley
“This holiday can be as active as you make it, but I would suggest taking advantage of the water-based activities in Montenegro. I was particularly lucky to hitch a ride to the coast with a couple staying in the villa on our day off. I found it would have been easier to hire a car, but it's definitely do-able without one.” – Mandy Reynolds on our kayaking holiday in Lake Skadar


“When walking in the Italian hills, or up Vesuvius, think skiing - if you let anything slip it could quickly be lost forever, so I had my glasses on a chain and used the wrist strap on my camera, etc. And keep 50c coins handy for automated public toilets!” – Juliet Dunn
“I went to the Azores with the hope of seeing maybe one or two whales but what I saw each day surpassed that expectation. I had a fantastic time and have to admit to having a lump in my throat when I saw my first blue whale. If I was asked would I do it again – YES! In a heartbeat.” – Barbara Watt
