The beautiful Himeji Castle floating above you on the horizon when walking towards it from the station. Hiroshima was very moving. (more)Yasmin Dastur

There were many `most memorable´things such as the autumn colours, the gardens, the Japanese people, the food, the variety you offered on this tour, the numerous surprises Japan has in store by being so different, the group, the tour leader. (more)Inge Kerber

On the whole very interesting but very fast paced but obviously if visiting a lot of places in a short time things have to be missed out. (more)Paul Thompson

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

The lessons and the walks were both very enjoyable and professional. (more)Diana Porter

Muy Buen!! Fantastic! Would definitely recommend! (more)Karen Key

Memorable parts? 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

Memorable parts? Participating in the Cuba Music Holiday through the tour operator we used was the trip of a lifetime! Learning from, working with, and performing public shows with a top-rated band in a foreign country is a dream come true for us. We fell in love with Cuba, its people, and its music, and we look forward to returning someday. We'd also like to do another music holiday with this same company. Tips? Study Spanish before leaving home. Practice the music the operator... (more)Bob and Patty Tatum

Memorable parts? Visiting the desert, the wonderful Adobe accommodation nearby, the fantastic locations for sketching and the visit by camel riding off into the sunset in the sand dunes and staying overnight in a Nomad's Tent to watch sunrise. Tips? Please dress warmly if booking for March, as even though the sun shines, it can be quite cold. Take lots of photos - locations for sketching are very inspiring. Absorb the atmosphere. Local benefits? We stayed in local accommodation.... (more)Pauline Lawton

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

Honestly everything was amazing! Being completely immersed in nature. Monkeys, dolphins, turtles, manta rays, bats and of course Komodo dragons... oh and some spectacular sunsets! (more)Jodie Cummings

So many to choose from: Singing campfire songs with the crew, guide and group. Snorkelling and seeing the sights. Visiting Komodo Island and the dragons. (more)Andrew Finck

Sleeping in tents on deserted beaches. Seeing 3 Komodo dragons eating a carcase. The friendliness and helpfulness of everyone (more)Janet White Spunner

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

Taking part in all the classes, the amazing food, the lovely people, the location! (more)Liz Hill

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

Most enjoyable part was in the coastal towns of Kep and Kamot, so relaxing and I loved the local dish of Kep crabs with pepper sauce down at the seafront. Excellent trip which I would very much recommend. (more)Christopher Gledhill

The perfect holiday. (more)Susanne Kempf

Excellent, memorable, wonderful. (more)liz mcmanus

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

We saw various places all of which were very interesting. There is not one particular place or experience that stands out over and above everything else. It was great to cover so much ground and there was a lot to do every day. Our tour leader was helpful and very knowledgeable. (more)Catherine Cassidy

The entire trip was so awesome. Lots of exciting things to taste, see and experience. Great way to meet people who enjoy travelling as much as I do. Fantastic trip. (more)Anuschka Veckranges

The landscapes of Mongolia and the night sky. (more)Judith Petrie

Excellent. Very well organised. Guides knew their stuff and were always helpful and cheerful. It was a tremendous experience and I would love to go again - maybe to a different part of this huge and empty country. (more)Theresa Partington

It was a perfect holiday... The lodging was excellent nestled in greens with lots of hiking and biking trails to choose from, all meticulously planned out by the owner Peter. Food was superb, prepared by Carolyn, Peter’s wife who ran the place immaculately. This place is actually perfect or simply lazing around for a few days, sipping on limitless wine and taking a dip in the pool. (more)Ricky Yeung

Top drawer! (more)Esther Quinlan

One of the best breaks I have ever had. Carolyn and Peter look after you so well. I am a solo traveller and sometimes you can feel isolated but not this time!!! (more)Margaret Parker

There were so many memorable experiences from this trip that will stand out for a lifetime! I honestly felt like I was away much longer and in multiple countries, such was the diversity of landscape throughout the trip. (more)Karlyn Langjahr

Difficult to say as there were so many wonderful moments. The quality of the accommodation was very high. The guide and driver professional and extremely knowledgeable. And of course the lemurs were glorious. (more)Antonia Lopez

Excellent - this was an amazing trip to see the lemurs. We saw 16 species, most in fairly close proximity as well as other wildlife. (more)Catherine Lee

Exploring some of the food markets, the cooking school days with Mr Da and Ya. The jungle (seeing elephants), amazing Andaman Islands and Chiang Mai at Loy Krathong. (more)Anon

I loved the Central Plains homestay, after Bangkok it was amazingly beautiful and peaceful. All the cooking schools were so beautiful and peaceful, and the food was amazing! (more)Suzanne Smith

The most memorable part of the holiday was definitely the cooking ... and all the eating. Swimming in the Andaman sea was also a real highlight. (more)Shelley Kennedy

The most memorable was the views. (more)Danielle Walker

There is so much on offer in this small country- beaches, wildlife, food, colonial and cultural activities, and the friendly locals many who speak English. Excellent, great mix of sights and activities. (more)Mary Mc Kiernan

I really adored meeting and spending time with the kids at the plantation nursery school and with the older fishermen's children at Dutch Bay. Glorious, dignified children. It was a wonderful holiday with a group that worked very well together and were in fact quite resilient and funny. I really felt there was a good mix of Sri Lankan culture, crafts , food, people and nature on this trip. (more)Mary Puckett

Excellent. (more)Tim Harber

It was an excellent holiday, well-planned, varied, very enjoyable beach holiday at the end at Nosy- Be and Nosy Sakatia. (more)Dr Amanda Booth

Seeing so many different types of Lemurs in natural surroundings was the highlight. (more)Jan Lawson

We loved the canoeing and camping part of our trip, and the amazing hikes. The people, the animals and the scenery in Madagascar are so special and unique, it feels like a million miles away from normal life. (more)Cara Roberts

It was amazing, the people are very friendly and the hotels were great. I thought Stephen who runs this holiday actually made it such a success. He is so knowledgeable, patient and inspiring and took us to place where we would normally not go. (more)Karin Hewlett

Difficult to know where to begin. The whole tour was brilliant. The most memorable must be sunrise over the stupas at Bagan. (more)Alistair Cowan

The people were fabulous both the hosts and guests. Competent, kind, thoughtful hosts. Great food and lovely setting great cycling and walking. (more)Nicki Mazey

Excellent. Accommodation was first class. Hosts were excellent. Environment refreshing and relaxing. The holiday lived up to the blurb on the website! (more)Brian Flynn

It's a great holiday. Leave behind any preconceptions and you'd love it. The most memorable part was meeting the dance teachers. (more)Nuri Gene-Cos

The dancing was amazing, hilarious, fun and depending on how much you put into it - painful due to bad shoes! But totally worth it. The people there - I can't describe how warm and welcoming they are. The dancers, the guides.... everybody I met in fact. (more)Britt Voll

One of the best moments was probably snorkeling in the Bay of Pigs area near Play Giron, and then of course all the salsa dancing, both in classes and in the evenings! (more)Anniina Simula

The walk through a jungle to get to a temple and seeing snippets of wildlife along the way including a snake was the most memorable. Just a really lovely holiday. Perfect pace with lots of sightseeing but also lots of free time to relax. (more)Sabina Latif

Excellent holiday. Being a very critical person, I must admit this was one of the best holidays I ever had (and I have travelled a lot in my life). (more)Andrea Vogel

Memorable parts? 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
