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

One of my the best holiday experiences we have had. As independent travelers we enjoyed having organised transport and accommodation but still moving
independently. (more)John Moug
The great way to travel, by train!! So relaxing and we met great people. Then we got to spend time on our own at the different stops. Unlike a bus tour where
you must go to specific places and be back at a specific time, we were able to explore the towns on our terms. (more)Lisa Boner
Great scenery, train trips and wonderful weather. (more)Anna Cheetham

(more)Nick Levitsky
We swam, kayaked, rode horses, rafted down rivers and went for hikes through the superb national parks in the area.

The views are stunning. The accommodation (both in the mountains and in Marrakech) is great.

Everything was superbly organised and presented. (more)Paul Watling

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

Local benefits?
Yes - and the locals we met along the way were all extremely friendly, helpful & proud of their culture.

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

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
