The whole experience was totally amazing. We were blessed with fantastic weather both in annapurna and everest. The guides and porters were great and the lodges excellent. We were very well looked after and nothing too much trouble. Dwarikas hotel remains probably the best we have stayed in. Such a unique and cultural place.

We loved the contact with the villagers - it was a real education and insight. The lodges and their locations were well chosen - both peaceful, comfortable and interesting.

I think was one of the best holidays we have ever had, excellent value and immensely varied. The opportunity to walk and stay in village houses in the relatively unexploited Ha Giang province was a highlight, as were the stays in some really quite luxurious ecolodges and a magnificent cruise ship on Halong bay.

This was an amazing collection of experiences, with awesome boat rides through to treks with wonderful views of the mountains, flora and fauna, including wild orchids and condors. The eco camp is a very special place, and we loved staying in a geodesic hobbit house! This was a holiday that we will always remember.

The combination of Annapurna and Everest made this a perfect blend of trekking, scenery, challenging walking and great accommodation. Together with this and perfect weather, we were blessed with the most amazing holiday experience. The views of Mount Everest were spectacular and you can really feel the history of the place. Awesome! We have returned feeling both privileged and energised.

I have stayed in Bhutanese homestays and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. There were some that I would have chosen in preference to a 5 star hotel. I do however understand that this is a question of personal preference. Personally, I think having close contact with the local people is immensely more valuable than staying in a resort where you cut yourself off from the authentic experience of being in Bhutan.

The Torres Del Paine National Park is one of the most spectacular places I've ever visited . You really do feel like you're on the edge of the world.

Amazing holiday, it was everything I had hoped for. For starters the trip was well organised, it is important to have that level of trust in the company you are travelling with. In terms of the destination, amazing! The scenery was mind blowing, it was fantastic to be so close to the great mountains of the Khumbu region. Most people were heading to Everest Base camp but Ama Dablam is a beautiful mountain too! I felt this holiday was perfect for me as I suffer a lot form the cold. As the trail does not go as high as Everest base camp the temperatures are lower but lodges do offer a level of comfort that aids relaxation and aids recovery from the days exertion. I loved the small quiet side trails, off the main busy EBC trail. They were beautiful and quiet with less tourists.

I was blown away by the beauty and variety of the Atacama Desert, its canyons, wildlife and plants. It really was not what I expected when I thought 'desert'.
