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

Always the big smile that Cubans give to all us tourists which hides the poverty and hardships they all suffer beneath. So my most memorable moment is always the warm friendly greeting that they give you. (more)Chris Turner

Difficult to choose one - probably the visit to Sigiriya rock - unlike anything I have seen anywhere else. Probably followed by seeing the local fishermen
working on the beach at Negombo.
Tips?
Make the most of any opportunities to look around, take part in things, talk to the local guide to tell them what you are interested in. (For instance we talked
about food, and ended up spending an evening at a cookery demonstration, which was very interesting). Also be aware... (more)Christine Cook

Too many to mention! Highlights - getting to the top of Kilimanjaro and Serengeti
safari!
Tips?
Do your research. We tweaked our holiday quite a bit and the main aim was to
climb Kilimanjaro - had we not researched and as such altered the original
itinerary by adding an extra day - we would NOT have made it to the top - which
would have soured the rest of the trip which was to go on safari and finish in
Zanzibar.
Local benefits?
Yes - we had sixteen people... (more)Angie Koufou
