Memorable parts?
Experiencing the rich variety and beauty of Kerala
Tips?
Give yourself enough time in each place to really experience it and do some walking - don't travel too quickly!
Local benefits?
Yes - by staying in homestays we felt the money went into the hands of local people rather than big coimpanies
Overall rating?
It was great - smoothly organised, relaxed and enjoyable but we experienced much of the rich variety and beauty of Kerala (more)Lonica Vanclay

Day trip to Papa Westray was the best highlight. (more)Christine Derrick
It was fantastic to see the contrast in both Isles and to see the nature, unspoilt beauty. The wealth of wildlife and to see them in a nature environment. The wealth of history and to see how the areas have evolved throughout the years. (more)Moira Parker

The most memorable was watching the dance show put on by the children at joys House in Chiang Mai. (more)Tony Allen
Such memorable experiences. A million bats streaming put at Dusk in Khao Yai, the elephant rescue nature park, the night in a raft house on Khao Sok Lake
and the final three days on the beach... we needed it by then! (more)Rose Barling
The zip lining and white water rafting were pretty exciting! The zip lining was very safe and well run. The white water rafting guides just want to make sure you get as wet as possible! (more)Sophie Horner

It was all a wonderful experience but the definite high spot was the Machu Picchu visit and the 2 day Inca Trail. (more)Cicely Olive

Sigiriya in was visually stunning, and it was fabulous to stay at a hotel with a great view of the rock in at the end of our holiday; the elephant safari in Uda

The most memorable part of our holiday was the time spent at Plitvice. We arrived in torrential rain at c9.00 am, but had come prepared with our ponchos! By mid morning the weather had cleared and the sun was out. This area has to be unique in the world, with all the walk ways running along the numerous waterfalls and water flowing underneath your feet. (more)Amanda Distin
Difficult to make a choice because the coastline is beautiful and the towns are very interesting but the Plitvice Lakes have the edge and were very memorable
even in the rain! We also found Ston surprising - in a good way - particularly walking the walls. (more)Marilyn Cole
Plitvice National Park and walking the walls of Dubrovnik both stand out as super experiences. Both needed early starts but so worth it to get ahead of the crowds and enjoy the beautiful scenery. (more)Carolyn Farrar

(more)Nick Levitsky
We swam, kayaked, rode horses, rafted down rivers and went for hikes through the superb national parks in the area. The "Lake District" of Spain lived up to its reputation and we found swimming in the man-made reservoirs was a great experience. It was one of the best holidays we had. (more)Brendan O
The most memorable moments were rock climbing, kayaking and visiting the hot spring pool at Negratin Reservoir. A lovely host and a beautiful area! (more)Natalie Fairbairn

The views are stunning. The accommodation (both in the mountains and in Marrakech) is great. The food is terrific - the best tagine that we had was cooked 'on the hoof' by Ibrahim during our trek back to the Kasbah. The people that we met in the mountains were, without exception, friendly. Everything was superbly organised and presented. (more)Paul Watling
Trekking through the Atlas Mountains was the highlight. Excellent. Great staff and lovely accommodation exactly as described on the information. (more)Liz Alun-Jones

The Uyuni Salt Flats. We were fortunate enough to see it after a rainfall and it was looking into a reflective pool. We had a wonderful time in Bolivia, we wish we had more time to explore the country more, we'll be back! (more)David Torres

We had an excellent holiday and so it is difficult to pick out was most memorable, but we did particularly enjoy the horse ride and visit to the tobacco fields and our stay on Cayo Levisa. But we also loved Havana and Trinidad. (more)Richard Patterson
Having designed my own trip, the best aspect was the freedom to spent time doing things on a whim sitting around immersing myself in the less touristy aspects of Cuba, away from the bars and CD-touting bands, instead mixing with the least affluent of the society, meeting fascinating characters and enjoying the music made by people in their own front rooms and doorsteps. (more)Chris Bragg
Horse riding through the tobacco fields in Vinales on Christmas Day was the most memorable. (more)Elizabeth Freeman

Memorable parts?
We had many memorable experiences on our trip to China. Every day produced a new experience, each different and often additional things that we had not anticipated. Clearly The Great Wall, Terracotta Warriors, Panda's, Forbidden Palace were all amazing, but for me the peace and quiet of drifting down the river on a bamboo raft at Guilon was just perfect after the frantic travelling around China.
Tips?
Make sure that you have a suitcase with wheels,there is a lot... (more)Nigel Davies

Memorable parts?
There were many, I would pick Ninh Binh as a fantastic example of Vietnamese landscape. My kids would probably pick the Vespa adventures tour in Ho Chi
Min City and my wife the Surnise Hotel in Hoi An.
Tips?
I would suggest to have an idea of the itinerary and the type of trip and then contact a tour operator with a strong knowledge of the country. Tips are invaluable if travelling for the first time there. I also found extremely useful having a local guide and... (more)Ezio La Rosa

Tortuguero National Park early morning canoe trip was the most memorable. (more)Angie Reay
Amazingly beautiful birds, stunning scenery and beautiful beaches. The accommodation, though on the basic side was right in the thick of it. You could wake with humming birds outside your door, monkeys swinging across your roof or frogs croaking and singing you to sleep. (more)Sandra Gill
A wonderful experience that makes us want to visit Costa Rica again (for longer) (more)John Davies

Seeing "critters" in the wild, including orangutans, pygmy elephants, other monkeys, birds, etc. Multiple interactions with locals. (more)Beth Harrington
The people both in Borneo and on the Indonesian Islands ( Bali and Flores) were happy and smiling all of the time and their natural hospitality was very impressive. I loved the boats trips on the Kinabatagen river and all the amazing bird and animal wildlife and Paul really enjoyed the early morning treks in the Tabin Wildlife reserve and captured photographs again of an amazing and unusual selection of wildlife.

The japanese alps, Miyajima, Hiroshima, cooking class, visit to Maiko, cycling - actually. Everything! The trip was fantastic, really well organised - we just had to arrive and enjoy! (more)Amita Patel
The most memorable was the boat ride down the Hozugawa River starting at Kameoka and a JR train journey from Kyoto that is reasonably short. It was a real experience, and made worry free by the superb back-up of the tour operator. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend them. (more)Ian Halstead
