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

The highlight was meeting the Japanese people - they were so friendly and provided a fabulous service, all of them doing there best to help out the 'non Japanese' speaking tourists. Also, the country was virtually 'spotlessly' clean with no litter, graffiti or the usual grime one associates with Europe. (more)Roger Bayliss

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

I loved it all I'm glad that I took extra days for the city of Ulaanbaatar. You need to see both sides of the Mongolia. Like in all places of the world life has to move on. (more)C E Barker

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

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

Really enjoyed the variety of visiting different regions of Japan e.g. busy Tokyo, tranquil Hakone, beautiful Kyoto and Nara and Kamakura. (more)Eva Jolly

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

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

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

Magnificent introduction to a beautiful remote area of Spain. The family love Spain. They support local farmers and crafts and promote the region and its festival. (more)Christine Ansons

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

The highlight was the camel trip into the sahara. (more)Marij de Meyer

It was very good. Nice group, great tour leader and excellent itinerary. (more)Kristina Mänd

Memorable parts? Our holiday was very special but if we had to pick out one particular aspect then it would be the snowshoeing because we had not done it before. Having said that the scenery was stunning and so varied that every excursion offered something different meaning the whole holiday was special. Tips? Just do it - Casa Allue benefits from superb hosts, accommodation, food, location and excursions. You cannot go wrong. Local benefits? Yes, Locally sourced food and... (more)Begoña Maruri

Memorable parts? Learning about the timeline of the disaster whilst being in the area. Tips? Take a good camera and be prepared to have a complete sensory overload. Local benefits? I'm not sure how much it benefited the local people or the environment, it does make you think about the environment and how we damage it. Overall rating? This was a brilliant trip, so much better than I was expecting. (more)Vince Payne

What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday? There were many memorable moments – drinking mint tea amongst locals, eating in local restaurants, picnicking in the shade, staying in exotic riads, choosing and haggling over the prices of fossils, scenic drives (e.g. through the Dades Gorge) and spotting shooting stars in the desert. We were struck by the Moroccan hospitality -- we were offered a plate of very nice dates by an elderly man who had been supervising the harvesting of... (more)Peak Yuen Chiam

Memorable parts? The beautiful scenery on the walks plus the stunning variety of flowers, the birds and their songs and the insect activity generally. Enjoyed the actual walking too! Also the real quiet in the area we were in allowed me to be able to hear the birds rather than the traffic. Our hosts Lucy and Simon plus our guides were also an essential and wonderful part of the trip. Tips? Be prepared for all weathers and all in one day! The mountains are very changeable. Local...

Pulling over to let a tourist single decker bus pass us on a track high up a mountain in the Ordessa National Park was the highlight. Oh and visiting a neighbours house with many of the original features intact. (more)Jenny Abbott

The Pyreness themselves; the stunning scenery , hiking and swimming were out of this world. (more)Hannah Mitchell
