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

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.

Horse riding through the tobacco fields in Vinales on Christmas Day was the most memorable. (more)Elizabeth Freeman

Not knowing anything about the Islands off Burma, or knowing anyone who had been, it was all very memorable our week on the catamaran. We had a fantastic skipper, Carlos, who was fun, sociable and very practical in running the boat, with his team. Exceptional, we made the most of it with lots of swimming, snorkelling...

The most memorable was the people :-) Especially our fantastic tour guide Indika who went beyond the call of duty and made Sri Lanka come alive. The best run tour we have ever been on. (more)Andrew Fowler

Snorkelling with manatees, sharks and a turtle was pretty special but, in fact, every day on this trip was extraordinary... from volcanoes to markets, Mayan ruins to swimming in hot springs, eating at a Mexican family's home and taking a riverboat trip. Fantastic. (more)Jennie Walmsley
The scenery and people of Guatemala, the warmth of the people and climate of Belize and the excitement and colour of Mayan Mexico. One of the best small group holidays I have ever experienced. (more)Martin Braund

Every single second was memorable. Utterly brilliant. I have had the time of my life. (more)Hannah Noel-Paton

amazing holiday with an excellent tour leader. Try to pack light.
Local benefits?
Yes, particularly the homestay which provides an alternate income for families

Tips?
Rainforest trekking can be strenuous in the heat. Would advise stout footwear and poles if at all unsteady.
Local benefits?

Memorable parts?
Gorilla Tracking was just outstanding. Many other highlights of the tour (camping in the Serengeti, visit of local villages, rafting the Nile) were also great.
Tips?
Prepare for long truck, bus and jeep rides, bring maybe a sleeping pillow or similar. Mattress is not necessary and a sleeping bag just for two nights, so don't
bother to waste too much space for this. Hiking boots for the gorillas are a must. Don't miss out on the Pygmy village!
Local benefits?
