Truly great value and the fact that most of the guests had been before and one set I think 12 times makes its own point. (more)David Edmonds
The beautiful countryside, great food, wine and company. Our hosts Carolyn and Peter were great fun, interesting conversationalists and they run a lovely home. I walked my legs off and swam in the pool every day. (more)Mairead Ryan

Overall rating?
Great.

Picnic at La Guardia and day free to explore Bilbao. Lots of nice pintxo.

It just great and too short for me. (more)Swiss Nge

Memorable parts?
Spending some relaxing down-time at the Ranch was wonderful. Iguacu was impressive and very accessible esp from the Arg side. Ilha Grande was peaceful and idyllic - best seafood here!
Tips?
Go with the flow - there are some long travel days, transport arrangements don't always join up perfectly so you will need to be patient. Listen to your tour guide and tell them if you have concerns, they can't help if they don't know. Go and talk with the locals, buy local,... (more)Wendy Pountain

Rosie worked tirelessly to make it the perfect vacation, from preparing the fleece, collecting the plants used in the dying, the dying itself, and of course, carding and spinning the wool. She and Alex made delicious, healthy meals and made sure the experience went smoothly. (more)Celia Winkler

As a beginner, the most exciting part of my trip was learning how to use a camera and seeing travel in a whole new light. Stephen helped open my eyes to a new level of travel that I didn't know existed and taught me how to tell a story with my photography.
Tips?
Dress very comfortably as it gets really really hot and drink lots of water. I suggest bringing only 2 lenses and a light tripod. Try to fit everything in one
backpack. Those with lots of heavy equipment... (more)Nicole Bhark

So many things, but the hike in Ronda what so memorable-- watching the light change with the sun rise, all the fruit trees we strolled through and the stunning view of the walled city. The chance to shop for and make Paella in Valencia was also a huge hit.
Exploring the food and drink in the back alleys of Seville was wonderful too. The
Alhambra was spectacular. Wandering through the orange trees in the gardens of the Moorish palaces was so special.

1. Snorkeling with the whale sharks.
2. Good diving instruction to next level of qualification.
3. Chance to do conservation surveys as something more than that which you
usually do on a regular dive holiday.
4. chance to dive in Caribbean at dive sites that are not crowded, never were
there other dive boats at the sites we dived, thus only 4 to 8 divers at the

Great from start to finish - the staff, the country, the project, the work - I was sad to leave and hope to go back. I went for the animal work which I really enjoyed but an unexpected highlight of the trip was getting out into the community to see one of their fuel briquette projects. (more)Kat Wendels
