1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?

Everything! From the friendliness of the locals, to the food, beautiful scenery, snorkelling.... The list is endless. We had a fantastic tour guide too, Kokko!

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?

Be open-minded. If you prefer the party scene and alcohol, then the resorts might be more to your tastes. If, like me, you love history and culture and want a flavour of how the locals live then this is definitely for you.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?

Definitely. The taxes we paid (included in bills) contributed directly to the local economy. The tour guide encouraged us to participate in reducing plastic waste and kept all our bottles to send on to Parley.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?

Excellent! Loved every moment of it and wish it was longer. The value for money was brilliant! This has been the only tour where most of the meals and airport pick-up and drop-off were included, and where we were not subjected to commission-based shopping. In fact tipping was entirely voluntary and the locals were not expecting it.

You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
