We got up in the morning had a great breakfast and onto our bikes-all we had to do was appreciate the beautiful scenery and decide where to stop for coffee. Lunch was a picnic along the way and with nothing else to think about, it made for a very relaxing holiday. (more)Anne Taylor

It was amazing! It's too difficult to select a single moment or city. Nepali people are really terrific. Exploring Chitwan was incredible. (more)Kacey Orlando

Best bit: Pokhara, seeing the mountains on a clear day and the chance to go paragliding for the first time. (more)Richard Frost

Superb! Nothing like it! (more)Naufier Mohamed

White-water rafting and zip lining was the most memorable. However our trip was meticulously planned and nothing was left to chance. Considering we were moving around the country a great deal, all the pick-ups and transfers were excellent. Excellent holiday. More than happy. (more)Karine George

We were thrilled by the geology (stunning volcanic craters, rainforest canopies, tropical beaches) and the wildlife (crocodiles, motmots, iguanas lurking for breakfast scraps etc etc) (more)Ian Gavin

It was a great holiday... the friendly people; the environmental focus; the variation in scenery & the birds & animals. (more)John Nightingale

Traveling with our friends. (more)Deborah Beauchamp

Loved the fact that this worked so well for my husband and I - he's a serious recreational cyclist and I'm an avid cyclist but more casual in my approach. We're '50 something's' and found this all very enjoyable. (more)Beth from Canada

What a fantastic holiday! Cycling each day down a new route, through vineyards, small hamlets, to the beach! A holiday quite different to anything we had both been on before. (more)Claire Hermolle

Most memorable was getting out on the sea and being able to travel at your own pace. The Islands are amazing and Miljet is a must see place, we loved it. (more)Chivers Libby

We enjoyed the kayaking because we were able to get away from the throng of tourists and it was an ideal holiday for the 3 active teenagers we had with us but easy enough for the adults. (more)Louise Solomon

The sea kayaking and snorkelling on Lopud island was great fun. It got quite interesting in terms of high waves on the way back which was a welcomed challenge. (more)Mariana Heinrich

The highlight was the wonderful roads, cycling heaven. Excellent. (more)Martin Sigrist

The area and the landscape are very fascinating. Also to live locally in a small relaxed village was something I enjoyed a lot. (more)jarmo kaariainen

Go on holiday here. You will not regret it. Brilliant mountain biking, superb food, incredibly friendly and helpful hosts. Also the silence in the village and the beautiful scenery! I think this is responsible travel at it's peak. (more)Krystyna Holder

Memorable parts? The experience of cycling through rural India, meeting and reacting with the local people. Even a local police sergeant bought us all breakfast when we met him one morning. Tips? A reasonable standard of fitness is required. We were a group of 9 men with ages ranging from 54yrs to 67yrs. Take a good pair of padded cycle shorts. Local benefits? We stayed at lovely boutique hotels and staff were employed from the local area. Also used local roadside stalls for... (more)Bob Stunt

Everything was perfect! The dogs, the way they were cared for, Aki and Suvi who looked after us, the location. The whole holiday was brilliant. And of course the countryside - endless lakes and pine forests. The cabin we stayed in was right on a lake and the views and peace & quiet were breath-taking. (more)Willemina Hagenauw

I highly recommend this trip! Hiking with huskies with hosts Avi and Suvi was wonderful. Visiting the taiga in Finland was very special, (more)Brie Stotler

Aki and Suvi were very welcoming and couldn't make us feel more at home! The dogs are all amazing, so friendly and the personalities all so unique and lovely! Everything from the location, to the walks and food was perfect and we would really love to go every year. We found it very relaxing and a home from home for the whole time. (more)Martyn Kilbryde

It is impossible to point out one most exciting part of the three week long stay in Kerala. Cycling, trekking, kayaking, smelling and tasting, it was all very good. It was a very good holiday. (more)Laima Tikuisiene

Having a varied programme with a mixture of activities (kayaking, swimming, hiking and cycling) interspersed with fantastic scenery and wildlife and very friendly and informative staff was the best part. A wonderful family orientated holiday, with fun activities, beautiful countryside, helpful staff and excellent food. (more)Dinah Perry

It surpassed our expectations. The best parts were Cycling through villages, with all the children running out to greet us, and giving us "high 5's"as we passed through - Standing on top of the 2nd highest mountain in South India, having just trekked to the top. Staying for the night on a rice boat... (more)janice eastman

Definitely the friendly hosts at the casa particulars, so happy & helpful, given my limited Spanish, that made it even better in a way, so we both had to 'work' at communicating. The historical areas w/ good guides, helped to bring history alive. The scuba diving at the Bay of Pigs was ok, but the divemasters were very good, so good for father-son vacation (more)Thomas Holthus

Meeting the Cuban people was the highlight. Very enjoyable trip. (more)Roger Phillips

The most memorable was 50 miles offshore Scuba Diving in the Garden of the Queens...this is a healthy reef with sharks to nudibranchs. The soft corals where beautiful waving in the current with the reef fish. We had a wonderful trip and will be returning to Cuba and diving the Gardens. (more)Wilson Wing

Excellent....Ecuador is a lovely country and well worth spending a week there before heading to the Galapagos. (more)Caroline Blagg

The most memorable part of the holiday was the wildlife - birds, dolphins, turtles, snakes, Jesus lizard...Ecuador is incredibly diverse, people genuinely interested, especially when "the only Gringo on the Bus!" and the operator is very efficient. (more)Phil Madden

The young people Sam and Rachel achieved confidence respectively in snowboarding and downhill skiing in a small quiet resort at Ancelle for the first three days...Successful as a way of satisfying all ages and giving the family precious time to be on our own without the pressures of work and university. (more)Rosemary Rayner

The most memorable part was snow shoeing on a beautiful sunny Christmas Day and completing our first Via Ferrata. (more)Lynn Clunie

Everything the club provided was of the first order, be it the fantastic dive instructors, who never failed to make my holiday fun and engaging; the well-thought out and delightful accommodation; safe and well-maintained equipment; and the friendly, caring and enthusiastic staff. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the place to anyone thinking about a scuba diving holiday. (more)Ben Moss

The diving was fantastic. This is definitely the place to go if you want to dive and snorkle. It’s a great location too, near the main stretch but far enough away to allow you to enjoy your peace and quiet. (more)Amanda Okill

The most memorable parts were my first dive as a qualified open water diver & being able to enjoy watching all the colourful fish and corals. (more)Jenny Tither

The food - absolutely delicious everywhere we went, even the meal cooked by our guide in a Tay minority homestead where we ate with the family and drank rice wine welcome shots. Phu Quoc Mango Bay resort - peaceful, eco-friendly, lots of options. The scenery - highlights, Mount Fan Xi Pan from Sapa and Halong Bay. (more)Diana Orton

We had a fantastic time and would recommend this operator to anyone travelling to Vietnam. The management of the tour was excellent. We loved Vietnam, from the food to the people to the places. There is much to see and do and we felt that our tour covered many of the beautiful areas in Vietnam. (more)Annalet van Deventer

Surviving the throng of motorbikes in the streets of Hanoi was the most memorable part. (more)Rachel Crossley

Memorable parts? Swimming with dolphins Tips? Be flexible and enjoy the feeling of being ruled by tides and wind on the dhow safari. Local benefits? I really hope so. The lodge is wonderful and is quite understated in what they do but they have taken a good eco stance and are an employer/supporter of the local population. I personally would like this aspect to be more explicit but I understand (and observed) that other guests might have different priorities. Overall rating? Truly... (more)Penny Horner

Memorable parts? Surviving the descent of the rapids at the Pont D'Arc without capsizing! Tips? Leave yourself in Phil's capable hands - go 1/2 board because the hotel's fantastic and take his kit list as your Bible. Local benefits? Tourist industry is important locally and local hotel benefitted. Overall rating? 10/10, A*, fantastic (more)Adele Holt

Memorable parts? Seeing some fantastic birds right up close. Three very different islands. Unique experiences on all. Particularly loved the kayaking out from Pelican bay on a Santa Cruz. Also fell in love with Isabela .....perfect to have the longer stay here. Tips? The inter island flight (between San Cristobal and Isabela) only allows 10kg each in luggage (that includes hand luggage) so do try and pack light and wear your heavy shoes! You'll be charged about 3$ per kg for any... (more)Sue Mcnuff

Memorable parts? The scenery and spirituality of Bhutan is unique and a once in a lifetime experience for my family. Tips? Even in late spring weather was unpredictable. I would be trekking with shorts and a tee shirt in the morning, long pants and fleece in afternoon and wishing for ski gear in the evening before going to bed. Local benefits? Sure, every dollar spent in Bhutan on environmental friendly tourism allows the country to stay the path in rejecting other... (more)Robert Whitmore

Memorable parts? Kayaking in stunning scenery around Lake Skadar Tips? Fantastic trip for those who want to get away from it all and learn a bit about another country. Local benefits? Definitely on all counts. Ben was very conscientious in all of the above. Overall rating? Utterly brilliant (more)Richard Main

Memorable parts? Sitting outside at our accomodation watching thunder and lightning storm in the valley next to us after a really pleasant cycle and visit to the museum and cave system in the Bosnian mountain next to us.
