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

It's a very enjoyable way to spend a week getting to know the area, lovely guided walks with a wonderful and interesting guide. The school is extremely well organised with fun and interesting teachers. (more)Mary Kitson

I now feel more confident using the language. Alongside the extremely enjoyable classes I had GREAT fun doing the outdoor activities (canyoning, caving, kayaking etc.). The area is stunning. (more)Mark Kitchenham

The walks in the Picos de Europa were great. There were lots of variation in the scenery and the guide was very good. (more)Johanna Klunder

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

Great!...Painting in the Moroccan desert. Visiting places off the beaten track. (more)Eva Skyllberg

There were many wonderful moments. 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. (more)Pauline Lawton

Memorable parts? Yoga after a glorious sunrise, with the lovely smell of a Jasmine plant by the window, before a delicious and nutritious breakfast. Tips? Remember you can dip in and out of any activity; we did yoga pre-breakfast, pilates pre-dinner and a range of "work out" sessions and walks in between. You can fill your time with treatments, I didn't book any and enjoyed reading by the pool and swimming in the sea. You can also have quiet time on your own or chat with the others...

Most memorable were the National parks, lemurs and chameleons.... Great holiday. Stayed in some lovely places. People were very friendly. Food was good and rum cheap!! (more)Janet White Spunner

This was the best holiday I have ever had. I enjoyed every minute. The group size of eight people was ideal.

Most memorable: Commitment and enthusiasm from the whole retreat team - organisers, chef, exercise instructors, therapists. First class throughout. Good-humoured, can-do attitude, nothing too much trouble. (more)Anne Mitchell

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

Great. Class time just flew by and the study was actually fun. I was a novice hiker and found the hikes to be challenging, but worth the effort. I really value the friendships I made with others participating in the program. (more)Mark Hindin

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

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.

Best holiday I’ve ever had and I’ve had many over the years. (more)Chris Nelson
