Loved every minute
I loved every minute from start to finish, even the slightly bumpy crossing of the Drake Passage, but especially walking through the penguins. I would have stayed watching their hilarious antics for hours.
Lovely guide and delicious food
Our guide Veronica was a delight to be with, nothing was too much trouble for her. I just loved the picnic lunches - lots of local delicious delicacies. What I enjoyed was the small group size and going to place off the tourist trail.
Three Peaks of the Balkans
Walking in this genuinely remote and undeveloped region of the Balkans was an experience more akin to trekking in wild Nepal than Europe. We trekked in splendid isolation meeting only the wonderfully hospitable local people, spending nights in tiny hamlets and villages where the outside world seemed to have had very little influence.
Tuscan Trails
For me this was a great trip, it provided wonderful walking with delightful food and breathtaking panoramic views. A fantastic day's walking accompanied by a nice hearty meal and glass of wine at the end of day was a real treat.
A safari away from the crowds
The Africa I'd always dreamed of. A personal experience from start to finish with no intrusive crowds, outstanding guides and fabulously friendly camp hosts especially Clare at Kakuli. And eating out under the stars was truly magical.
Exceptional throughout
This trekking holiday has to be the best kept secret in your catalogue. The trekking was demanding, the views magnificent and the lodges and meals were exceptional. The local guides were perfect and couldn’t do enough for us! The organisation was spot on from start to finish.
Incredible scenery
I love the south west of America, it's hard to comprehend the sheer scale of this area - it has incredible views and vast open skies that seem to go on forever.
A wonderful experience!
The trip was brilliant, I loved it all. The Sacred Valley was an unexpected delight, the trek was just heaven, especially the Emerald Lake and Salkantay Pass. I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity for such a wonderful experience - thank you for making it possible in such comfort!
Exceptional lodges
The holiday was a great experience. The accommodation at the 'Mountain Lodges' is exceptional and made a great end to each day.
Ausangate & Machu Picchu Mountain Lodge Trek
This trip had everything: the spectacular scenery of the trek through the mountains and the luxury accommodation and service we received throughout the holiday.
Fantastic trek in Peru
A fantastic trek and holiday - all organisation went smoothly - Peru is a fabulous country - the trek and lodges were outstanding.
Outstanding accommodation
Our itinerary was very well organised and standard of accommodation excellent - particularly the lodges on our trek, which were quite outstanding in every way.
Fantastic experience in Peru
The acclimatisation and trek were excellent. This was my first trek and my first time in South America and first time travelling on my own! A fantastic experience and well organised!
Unforgettable Canadian adventure
From the moment we departed Calgary and joined the Trans Canada Highway, I knew that I was in for an extraordinary scenic treat. Beautiful emerald lakes, towering mountain peaks and the excitement of being on the lookout for roaming wildlife, all added to an unforgettable adventure. I didn’t want to leave.
Whole experience was truly lovely
This trip has many highlights but it's the little things that stay in my memory. I really loved the homestay at the little village of Sintaung, the family were so welcoming, the food was delicious and the whole experience was truly lovely.
Genghis Khan Trails
A good adventure trip. Good small group size and great customer service.
Mongolian Wilderness Trek
Transport worked well, leader was knowledgeable and food was good. Route was good with a feeling of remoteness.
Excellent guide in Mongolia
What we liked was that you use local people with their specialised knowledge and love of their country so we experience a more in-depth view of a place and its people. It was such a relaxing holiday because from the very beginning we had complete confidence in both our driver and tour guide. It was refreshing that they both ate and shared meals with us and we were able to treat and call each other friends. It was an excellent trip!!
Silk Road to Samarkand
Well-planned trip and well-organised. Helpful local staff.
Japan is a fascinating country
Japan is a fascinating country, and it was particularly nice to be able to explore on foot, walking through beautiful unspoiled rural areas. I very much enjoyed immersing myself in Japanese culture, sleeping on futons and bathing in outdoor hot spring baths. Experiencing train travel was another bonus, especially negotiating the Tokyo underground at rush hour, thankfully led by our wonderful Japanese guide.
