Excellent. I saw a lot of Iceland and had plenty of time and opportunity to take photographs. James was an excellent photography tutor and guide and provided lots of expert guidance, useful suggestions and encouragement.
(more)Pamela Harris
We were lucky on day one to shoot the Northern Lights. We never saw them again. The Ice Beach was an amazing experience but the waterfalls and scenery generally was amazing. We were lucky enough to have received a large dumping of fresh snow which made the country spectacular. (more)Viv Gower
We were lucky enough to get a magnificent aurora display over Kirkjufell on evening 2. That probably stands out from all of the other awe-inspiring places we
went to. (more)Roy Hodson

Les hôtels étaient bien choisis et de bonne tenue. Le tour à vélo, le cours de cuisine, le pique-nique, les visites du vignoble et de la grotte étaient bien
sympathiques pour varier les plaisirs. Circuit très agréable que nous recommandons vivement. (more)Patrick IRLINGER
The most exiting part of our holiday was visiting the ancient archaeological sites and learning from the professional guides how they were organised and functioned. Particularly memorable were visits to Delphi and Olympia and the museums.

...Is there anything we did not enjoy? The answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT. It was an unforgettable holiday, for all the right reasons! (more)Gerard Ronay

An enjoyable, interesting and sociable week. The Spanish classes were stimulating and mentally challenging and Ana and Celina were excellent and highly professional teachers. (more)Tessa Brown

We loved the holistic yoga and charming hotel but also had great fun on the cycling and sea kayaking adventures!
(more)Catherine Mullan
A stunning 4 hour guided cycle ride in the local countryside. Lots of challenging hills, but nothing beats whizzing down them with the wind in your hair. I loved it. (more)Marguerite Weatherseed
The highlight was the excellent organisation by Nicole and the first class yoga and Pilates teaching. A fantastic holiday. Very informal and friendly. (more)Amanda Woodward

Memorable parts?
The spontaneity of events was the highlight. Although the route was planned and certain visits were structured, our tour leader and guide made things happen when they were least expected. Never a dull moment.
Tips?
Travel light, pack one camera and a couple of lenses. Be prepared for a few early morning starts and enjoy the journey.
Local benefits?
Nathan, has made many friends with the 'everyday' people of Cambodia. We were introduced to many local inhabitants... (more)Paul Byrne

A brilliant itinerary!
Tips?
Local benefits?
I do not feel that we reduced environmental impact or supported conservation at all. All the local people that we invited to take part in the photo shoots were offered payment although I do not feel that this was making any sustainable change.
Overall rating?
Truly magical experience with a spectacular photographer. (more)Nikki Biggs
From
€720

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

The highlight was spending a wonderful afternoon and evening at the country home of our Finnish guide, meeting her delightful family and enjoying a superb dinner while listening to her son's girlfriend singing Finnish songs. (more)Nomi Paynton
We really enjoyed the bicycle tour through green spaces around the edges of Helsinki. It was definitely off the beaten tourist track. Our guide was informative and delightful. We loved the evening boat trip to a tiny island west of Turku. (more)Diane Banner

I enjoyed every single day of my stay in Iceland!! One of my favourite days was going to the Ice cave, it was a pretty epic trek to get there, going in a massive truck with giant wheels, and then traversing across a glacier with crampons (which I couldn't get used to), and using a ice axe, made me feel like a proper adventurer! (more)Samantha Wilson
I had not been to Iceland before so the trip was a new and memorable experience. Probably the opportunity to photograph the Northern Lights with expert tuition was the highlight. (more)Roger Webb
It was a great experience. The most memorable was the time spent around the glacier. Particularly the ice cave and the ice beach. (more)Arturo de Frias
From

The most memorable are the beautiful quiet islands we visited during the sailing trip, the 2 dolphins who swam with us the second day, the dive to a German war plane and the sailing itself. (more)Arabella Bosscher
Very nice holiday! Meeting nice people and places, everything was perfect...We saw many different Islands and everyday was different.

Great. We loved it and rated our time in Panes the best part of our month in Spain and Portugal. We even looked at the price of houses in the region! (more)Diane Norman
It's difficult to choose a favourite (part) as all aspects were brilliant. The course was just right with the right amount of challenge, and Ana organised the transfers, accommodation and treks efficiently.
(more)Chandra Kantha
The scenery was so stunning but Jesus had selected an easy path so we could spend our time staring at the scenery as we walked. We then stopped for a beer at a very picturesque village. A great day! (more)Margaret Barretto

It's difficult to point to 1 thing. The school and teachers were lovely and adapted the group/classes to our level. Panes is such a tranquil place, great hiking opportunities and don't miss out on a SUP yoga session with Nata!! (more)Hanna Karlsson
Loved the yoga in a lovely old farmhouse with a great teacher. The Spanish school was excellent with the lessons at the right level for us. (more)Ann Potter
From
€800

It was all excellent - this is a holistic experience, the excellent food every day, the beautiful, peaceful location set in a V shaped valley with spectacular views,
river to swim in, walks to be had, the retreat venue itself, the staff working there, the tipis, and last but not least, the excellent yoga and pilates tuition and
massage treatments. (more)Liz Hughes
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.

Deeply relaxing. Beautiful scenery... The food was wonderful. It wasn't the main reason for going but every meal was a delight! (more)Daisy Powling

The most memorable was relaxing by the pool outside my luxury apartment each afternoon knowing the food and exercise meant I was going to come home feeling and looking better. (more)Kate Hindley
There wasn’t any one moment. The whole set up is very nice. Great accommodation and food. The classes and the treatment available were all great too. Delivered what I expected in beautiful surroundings on a stunning part of the Spanish coast. (more)Kathy Avery

The spectacular mountain scenery was something unexpected and awesome. The people were very friendly. Labilela rock hewn churches and the history was very interesting and fascinating. (more)Nicola de Jager
I am not sure what was the most memorable or exciting part of our holiday - for the three of us it would be different things. I think for my daughter it would be the fact that a leopard visited our camp in the Simien Mountains...I would say it was a truly amazing time. (more)Sophie Brinckman
As an introduction to the African continent, for me it was the best experience imaginable!

Memorable parts?
There were many memorable moments during the week the 7 of us spent there, but one in particular proved very exciting. We had a evening of Star Gazing with the guidance of a local astronomer, who brought along his high powered telescopes. Within moments of our "Gazing" we saw a "Shooting Star" - a meteor, shoot across the sky. For me though the highlight of the evening was looking through a powerful telescope at Saturn and her rings. Memorable indeed!

This was one of the best breaks I have ever had. I felt completely relaxed and
at peace immediately. Wonderful hosts, wonderful setting and an amazing experience. (more)Amanda Fiske
Everything was perfect! The dogs, the way they were cared for, Aki and Suvi who looked after us, the location. The whole holiday was brilliant. And of course the countryside - endless lakes and pine forests. The cabin we stayed in was right on a lake and the views and peace & quiet were breath-taking. (more)Willemina Hagenauw
