Tours & holidays in 2018 & 2019

We had an excellent holiday and so it is difficult to pick out was most memorable, but we did particularly enjoy the horse ride and visit to the tobacco fields and our stay on Cayo Levisa. But we also loved Havana and Trinidad. (more)Richard Patterson

Having designed my own trip, the best aspect was the freedom to spent time doing things on a whim sitting around immersing myself in the less touristy aspects of Cuba, away from the bars and CD-touting bands, instead mixing with the least affluent of the society, meeting fascinating characters and enjoying the music made by people in their own front rooms and doorsteps. (more)Chris Bragg

Horse riding through the tobacco fields in Vinales on Christmas Day was the most memorable. (more)Elizabeth Freeman

I had no expectations other than to go with the flow and listen. Andrew and Vonettq have fulfilled and are fulfilling their dream in such a manner as to share wholeheartedly with those who drop in. I arrived full of flu, wrapped up to the nines. Some called me the eskimo, with two little eyes appearing through all the head layers. (more)Caroline Yuill

The highlight was wild swimming in some beautiful locations along the river and an amazing Thai massage given by Mars. (more)Georgina Loughrey

Beautiful location in the mountains with lots of uber tasty delicious nourishing food. (more)Joyce Stack

Yoga was the highlight. (more)Rebecca Burton

There were many highlights - Seeing dolphins out in the bay while practising morning yoga. Early morning swimming in the cool clear Aegean Sea. Hiking to the local taverna. Far surpassed my expectations particularly the yoga... (more)Janet Patterson

The highlight was meditating on the beach in the morning, then a swim in the clear cool sea. Really good, yoga was challenging but fantastic place. (more)Susan Ruben

It is a lovely setting, just bird noise, nothing else. Great to see the almond trees still in blossom, and we overdosed on oranges and Raf tomatoes (if you see strange coloured green / blackish tomatoes just buy them!). John's walks are excellent and he even put together some on-road cycling routes on a Garmin for us, as I had told him my husband is a keen cyclist. (more)Julia Sherwen

The situation of the accommodation and the friendliness of the hosts. (more)Jenny Dunlop

The most memorable was the sound of the Scops Owl at night. Finding a local natural water source and enjoying the pleasure of taking an impromptu swim! A wonderful chance to experience authentic Spain. (more)Helen Jenkins

Enjoy the incredible wines, the food, the countryside, the local hill towns. (more)Scott Beveridge

Kayaking for the first time! The sea around Vis is stunning and the views from the water are something else. Craig and Xania are great instructors. Impressively relaxed with our diverse group, the youngest of whom was six. I was the only true beginner but I didn't feel out of place. (more)Lucy Crystal

The highlight was Kayaking along the rugged coastline into beautiful secluded bays. Enjoying Xania's exquisitely cooked vegetarian evening meals. (more)Leone Bentley

Swimming and kayaking in picturesque bays with turquoise seas was the best highlight. (more)Felicia Norman

Coming from a stressful job in the U.K. the best bit for me was the yoga by the sea. I have never done yoga but it was taught very well so I could follow along with ease. It was so relaxing and jumping into the sea afterwards was refreshing and truly revitalising! (more)Katie Gormley

Memorable parts? Going down to the river and behaving like a hippopotamus.....by this I mean wallowing in the mud. It was not only fun but made the skin feel good too. Tips? Don't worry about what stage you are at in your yoga practice. The teachers are highly skilled and can guide you regardless of your level. I was a beginner and therefore enjoyed the afternoon sessions that focused more on pair yoga. Also buy some of their honey if you can......it is simply divine. Local benefits? Yes,... (more)Janice Thomas

The most amazing week away...It has opened my eyes to Yoga and the benefits of massage and Acupuncture. (more)sarah dunnill

A great break from a mad city life. A great combination of people and therapies to recharge...great space for yoga, great teaching. Wonderful massage and acupuncture - totally restorative. (more)Joanna Benn

Excellent...perfect in so many ways. . There is an energy that runs through the place and you feel connected every waking moment; as you find a quiet moment by one of the water pools, or take a walk with one of the dogs, attending a yoga class, enjoying a good night’s sleep. It’s a healing place like no other. (more)sophia Hannay

Best bits: Walking up to and visiting the rock art in the Vallee des Merveilles, and the Fete du Pain in St Martin Vésubie. (more)Carolyne Mason

Excellent. We travelled with young family and would certainly stay again so cannot recommend it too highly. (more)ROSIE KELBRICK

The highlight was the primates, especially the Gorillas...amazing and a bit humbling. (more)Howard Tollit

The whole trip was marvellous. The white water rafting very memorable, safari drives and river trips great but if I have to choose the most memorable thing it would of course be the gorilla trekking followed closely by the chimpanzee trekking.

Great from start to finish - the staff, the country, the project, the work - I was sad to leave and hope to go back.
