The tours with Vespa Adventures were incredible. The experience of Saigon and the Mekong Delta would not have been the same from the inside of a bus or car. Also fantastic was the sunrise tour of Angkor Wat, the food in Hanoi, and the shopping in Hot An. (more)Daria Flores

Memorable parts? Seeing black bears turning rocks to find crabs, and a grizzy eating salmon. Tips? Dont bother with the glacier walk, but walk up the Wilcox pass track instead. The comercialization of the glacier (monster trucks driving onto it) and the apparent lack of concern by the guide about its exctiction were heartbreaking. Local benefits? The Grizzy trip to the Homalco reserve seemed to benefit local people, as did the bike ride in Stanley Park. Otherwise there were... (more)Steven Morgan

Memorable parts? Seeing sloths close up in the wild Tips? Travel light and be organised with your packing (as you never have time to unpack).

(more)Sue Deeley

Vinales was exciting, but interacting with the people was the most memorable. Warm, friendly, inquisitive and caring. (more)Jim Fuller

Memorable parts? I can't name only one!! If I really had to choose, I'd say the Borneo rainforest lodge in Danam Valley. Stunning location, amazingly helpful and knowledgeable staff and beautifully maintained lodges. Could not fault it. Tips? Even in the dry season, leech socks are necessary for Tabin and Danum Valley. Buy buy them there, not online. MUCH cheaper! This is a BUSY schedule involving very early mornings most days, as that's when you're most likely to see wildlife.... (more)Liz Carr

It was very relaxing, with beautiful scenic mountains and forests. (more)Prue Mitchell

The most memorable part of the trip was... walking from Yagodina to Trigrad - the path was easy to follow and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. To be so high up in the mountains with nature and eventually descend to overlook Trigrad on the way down was amazing. (more)Morven Jenkins

Walking in the mountains through unspoilt meadows where the only sounds were birdcalls and an occasional sheep bell was balm to the soul. (more)Jo Cohen Jones

The holiday was well organised. (more)Nicole Griffiths

Seeing all the wildlife was great especially for the kids -- monkeys & wild boar at Bako National Park, Semenggoh Orangutans' Center, & seeing the Irawaddy Dolphins on the Santubong Wildlife Cruise. And the rainforest kayaking was definitely fun for the whole family. For my 14 yr old daughter, she would say that having her half drunk can of Lychee drink stolen by a Macaque monkey at Bako was the highlight. (more)Alison Symons

Seeing the Orangutans was the most exciting part our holiday. (more)Tracy Bennett

One of the best holidays we've had in Europe. (more)Matthew Gittens

Some of the downhill rides, in particular the downhill through the Vramac range and down into Kotor Bay were truly breath-taking. We also loved the experience of crossing the borders into Bosnia and Croatia on our bicycles. (more)Amy Hart

The most memorable part of the holiday was finding a little cafe on the side of a hill on our way to Virpazar. It came along just at the right time when we were needing some refreshments and shade. We had a lovely plate of cheese, bread and olives made for us which went down treat. They also made us cherry juice 'to go' to take with us. (more)Margit Matthews

Smelling the orange blossoms as we rode from Astros to Nafplio was memorable. It was very fragrant, and we smelled them pretty much every day for the remainder of the trip. (more)Tiffany Arthur

The entire route was memorable between places, orchards, wildflowers Coastal regions. History, architecture, the people and food and wine. (more)Sanjiv Dewan

Hard to pick out high points of this holiday because there were no low points. Even the brief and brutal thunderstorms on two occasions did not dampen the spirits (and only dampened cycling kit for a short while). The theatre at Epidavros was spectacular and the experience of staying in Napflio was memorable. (more)Lucy Watson

Getting to know catalan culture, from ancient ruins over medieval villages to seaside resorts, from tapas over olive oil to wine and beer. (more)Lukas Innig

It was great. We could do as much as we wanted. We could have made it as hard or easy as we liked. We loved being active. (more)Liz Wood

Biking in the beautiful country of Spain with my husband and good friends was the most memorable part. It was a wonderful experience, great trails, food and memories to last a lifetime. I am planning my next trip now! (more)Mark Edwards

Great. Would definitely now consider another cycling holiday with this company. We enjoyed the experience of cycling through the countryside and to the beach then stopping off for lunch and a beer. We saw so many lovely places. (more)patricia houston

We all enjoyed it immensely...I think seeing the first medieval village and cycling through the deep countryside were the most satisfying experiences. For others it might have been stopping for the first beer at a village café. Or the fantastic burger and chips in Ripli when we were all tired and hungry. (more)John Lowdon

Very good..Cycling through the countryside and to and from the beach. Also the food was fantastic. (more)Wendy McCaffer
