The holiday was spectacular and offered a huge variety of activities that kept even our 16-year-old son entertained for the entire duration. The itinerary was flexible enough to allow us to meet our elder son in Vietnam halfway through our trip and our activities for that particular day were extended to include him and his four friends.

Stunning hikes during the day and then we could relax back at the hotel and on the beaches, swimming and snorkeling (more)Marc Roberts
It's hard to pick one (memorable) part when the scenery is as beautiful as what we saw. Some of the hikes we didn't see any other people and it was quite special - feeling almost alone with the environment and the views surrounding us.

Be prepared to spend time chilling out in the afternoons as it is hot.

It is hard to decide on one thing that was the 'most memorable' - We loved the entire trip! What stood out for us was Ngima and Lakpa's unwavering commitment to our entire team having the best experience we could possibly have. We listened to endless stories about the mountains, the place and other travel groups. We had all our curious questions answered. We stayed in nice and comfortable tea houses each night, with great hospitality where our guide was friends with everyone.... (more)Jennifer Ziegner

experience of crossing the borders into Bosnia and Croatia on our bicycles.

The most memorable part of the holiday was finding a little cafe on the side of a hill on our way to Virpazar. It came along just at the right time when we were needing some refreshments and shade. We had a lovely plate of cheese, bread and olives made for us which went down treat. They also made us cherry juice 'to go' to take with us. (more)Margit Matthews

Sappa was amazing as was monkey Island Beach resort. Excellent. The company couldn't do enough to help, and all the guides were fantastic. (more)David Chisholm
It was excellent. I would definitely recommend this sort of tour for a first visit. We had never had a guide or arranged tour before so it really made the difference knowing that tours had been prepaid and pick ups and cars had been pre arranged. (more)Val Bodington

Meeting the local guide in Sapa, and getting to know her a bit. Seeing the amazing local textiles in sapa, and walking in Pu Long.
Tips?
Go to My Son near Hoi An. Tell local ladies in Sapa, you are 'not shopping' so they dont follow you and then expect you to buy from them, it's mostly Chinease imports any way!

It was incredible, amazing, breathtaking. Simply spectacular. Totally worth it, Nepal is a paradise, and its people are a big part of the good feeling you get there. (more)Laura Murillo
My guide Krishna and porter Ali were helpful throughout with Ali never saying a negative word about my kit bag he was carrying and Krishna being especially on the early morning ascent to Thorong La Pass. He sensibly walked 40/50 paces then stopped for 30 seconds and then on again etc. At that altitude the pace was just right and we made it to the top in wonderful snowy conditions with clear blue skies at 8.30 am a great memory to have. (more)Len Davison
Nepal is a stunning country but it is being undermined by pollution and corruption. There seems to be an attitude that its ok to overcharge tourists because they are seen as rich by comparison. (more)Jane Crashley
