Review of Discover the Baltics
A busy but fascinating tour through three beautiful countries, providing a varied insight into the culture and history of the region.
Most Inspirational Moment
Appreciating the value of democracy and freedom after visiting the underground soviet missile base in Lithuania.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Vilija was a great tour leader. She was very knowledgeable and told us many interesting things about the culture and history of the Baltics, made all the more poignant by her personal experience growing up in Lithuania during Soviet occupation. Vilija was very patient and took time to make sure all members of the group were enjoying themselves and their needs were met. She had a great sense of humour too. A lovely person.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Bring lots of layers so you can dress for all weathers; we had a cold snap and snow, followed by 18 degree sunshine a few days later.

Colombia 24
Colombia is an amazing country. Contrary to its historical reputation Bogota felt safer to walk in at night than many cities in the UK.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing the Salt cathedral. I don't know what I expected but it didn't come anywhere close to how spectacular it is. I just stood looking up thinking who on earth came up with the idea of doing this.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Juan Carlos was very good. One of the planned Itinerary days had to be abandoned due to protesters blocking the road. His plan b were boats to take the group down river to the coast & we saw wildlife that we wouldn't have otherwise during the trip so ended up being better than the planned itinerary. There were niggles within the group which he did his utmost to sort out diplomatically. One problem was a vocal member of the group who would not accept that if you don't pay the single supplement you may have to share.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Don't let protesters blocking roads & delaying journeys so that you may not get to your hotel late upset you.

Loire Valley: Walks, Wine & Chateaux
The delightful birds singing in the woodlands. The many different chateaux showing different styles of decorations and gardens. Staying at Chateau la Bourdaisiere was a great highlight.
Most Inspirational Moment
It was wonderful to dine in small villages and local restaurants.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Jannie was a joyful leader who gave so much knowledge and enthusiasm for this beautiful area. He had certainly researched the routes, villages and restaurants thoroughly. I’d love to travel with him again.
Advice for Potential Travellers
A great itinerary which showed us a many aspects of the Loire. Chateaux, wines, beautiful woodland hikes and dining in excellent restaurants.

It works
A well balanced choice of 3 exceptional places.
Day 2 was probably the best walk along the Itria Valley.
Not using the Matera suspension bridge limited the walk route. For interest we did cross it on our own.
Most Inspirational Moment
Waking up to look out over Matera from The Sassi Hotel. The view across to the sea from the beautifully adapted Masseria Morrone. Ancient Olive trees as living history.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Knowledgeable in his own field. More information would have been helpfully shared with clearer language.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Pack all the usual requirements for day walks at home.

Great holiday in beautiful surroundings with excellent leaders
Five days of short walks in fascinating and varied countryside, brought to life by our great leaders Lina and Carla, with instructive wine tastings, followed by a day and a half in vibrant Porto.
Most Inspirational Moment
Too difficult to select from so many great experiences, but the wild flowers and lack of crowds in the Basto region, and three memorable lunches including Carla's home-made picnic, will stay in our memories for a long time.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Lina was very well-informed and made every effort to ensure we enjoyed our first three days despite some personal difficulties. Nothing was too much trouble for Carla and her knowledge of and love for her home district of Basto were an inspiration.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Late April is a great time to do this trip as the wild flowers are stunning at this time of year, but the walks are very definitely "leisurely". Note that it is, in fact, very easy to get to the start hotel in Regua by direct train from Porto.

Awesome cycling adventure from Saigon to Hanoi
A wonderful adventure cycling through mad traffic, long coastal roads, rice fields, quaint villages, hill climbs and descents. Ever changing scenery – an experience to remember forever.
Most Inspirational Moment
Entering the 100 Club (100kms in one day).
Thoughts on Group Leader
Hoang Trong Tung - fabulous leader.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Moderate fitness required. There is a 10km hill climb halfway through which tests stamina. The option of an e-bike to book for this tour.

Views from Ravello!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader was awesome! We had a few weather related changes to our itinerary. He made sure that we did everything by changing things/plans expertly! He made us feel welcome and comfortable. Loved Severrio’s sense of humor!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Lots of food! Plan for several large courses! Impossible to eat it all. But difficult to stop because it so very good.
