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

I loved the whole thing. The Pilates, meditation and Chi Gung tuaght by Ionos made me feel like a new woman after the week in Pelion...the sumptuous home cooking and amiable comraderie around the square table hosted by Pip and Nick...the splendid accommodation with views across the water to mountains. There is no one stand out. It was as a delight all round.

Just excellent. This is the second small group tour we have done... It is definitely the way to see lots and have the burden of organisation taken off of you. I don't think I could have fitted as much in if I had tried to organise it myself... (more)Peter Jeffery

The dog sledding was the most memorable. (more)James Harrison
The glass igloo and the Aurora restaurant was the highlight of the trip. We got to enjoy a few hours of clear night sky and a full moon before the clouds came over, and whilst we didn't get to see the northern lights, it was still fantastic. (more)Jodie Potts
The food, northern lights and the moose sightings, also the friendly and most hosptialable reception from all the staff. And oh the accommodation, so warm, clean and stylish with amazing views.

But there were so many other memorable moments such as the meals out in the desert, floating in the Dead Sea, visiting Mount Nebo. Petra itself is vast and two days is just enough time to get a sense of the place and see the main sights.
(more)Gerry Griffiths
The most memorable moments were a night in Wadi Rum hosted by Bedouins, including a camel ride in the desert to see the sunset, an early morning sunrise experience and lovely local food. Equally wonderful was the trek on the back trails to the high sacred place. (more)David Downing

someday. We'd also like to do another music holiday with this same company.

The practical cooking activities led by Oli and ably supported by Flo were an absolute pleasure - equipment and supplies were perfect, guidance was very patient, and the results were delicious! It was fun that another mother and daughter duo made up the group and we got on like a house on fire!

insight... (more)Philippa Schofield
