Good cycling, good weather and good food. An excellent trip, well run and well worth doing.
There were many good moments rather than one particular, from seeing another welcome stop for drinks and very tasty nibbles, the amazing old sites, the elephants and the way the kilometres rolled by.
Unflappable, well organised and able to handle the varied demands of a large group without a fuss,
Take your own saddle or a gel saddle cover as there are a lot of miles covered if you are not used to it.
A great trip covering the cultural, historical and landscape highlights of beautiful Sri Lanka
The trip was very varied covering the main cultural, historical and landscape highlights of this beautiful country. My particular favourtites were a cycle trip through local villages culminating in a fabulous lunch cooked by locals and served al fresco on large palm leaves, yummy! Another highlight was a wonderful walk on Horton Plains followed by a great train ride down a 6000ft descent; fabulous scenery. The trip to the elephant orphange was another highlight; around 50 elephants withing touching distance parading down to bathe in the river was a sight to behold. Two days of relaxing on the beach at the end of the trip was perfectly placed and the perfect opportunity to get my longed for camera shots of the local fisherman suspended on poles in the sea collecting their catch of the day.
Our group leader was very knowledgable and experienced; this being his 171st exodus trip! He had honed his skills at providing a good combination of knowledge/guidance with enough opportunities for personal day dreaming, contemplation and reflection as we rolled along on our journey. Admiration for his ability to stay so fresh and enthusiastic after 171 trips :-)
Best to change most of your money at the airport as they give the best rates. Deet 50% keeps the mosies away - only got two bites the whole trip!
Cycling through the countryside and enjoying Cuban hospitality
Flexible to change itenary so we could go the the North coast for a swim.Excellent support from both drivers (van and coach).Good support from the rest of the group.
Excellent, he watched over us like a hawk especially in resturants ensuring that service was forthcoming and was ashamed when his expectations of his fellow country men fell short of adequate.He was a good tour guide and was helpful to everybody.
Just do it!! You cycle for about an hour, where the support van will be waiting for refreshments (fruits, peanuts and sometimes cakes) and water replenishment before continuing. Do not worry about tiolets as the tour guide will just knock on somebodies door and pay out of the kitty.
An excellent trip. The location of the hotel is superb and the leader informative and extremely helpful. The surrounding countryside is very pleasant and the walking pretty easy. Eating out at different tavernas each evening (cost included) was a great way to chat to people and sample many different dishes.
The fascinating ancient sites.
Excellent - informative, helpful and great at knowing everyone and looking after them.
Don't bother to try and go to Athens on the day off. It really is too far and too complicated.
The walking was not too difficult. The hotels were not the best but were adequate. The group was really great
Walking from the hotel Encumeada into the mountains.
He was very knowlegable about local history and geography
One of the hotels did not bath plugs so might want to take your own
The Galapagos Islands are truly amazing and using a small boat like this one is the perfect way to see them. Cabins are small but food was excellent and Darwin is one of the best guides I have ever met.
The highlight was an early morning panga ride with dolphins only a few yards away from us.
Darwin was extremely well informed, showed huge enthusiam, which is surprising given how many times he has led Galapagos trips, and was very flexible in setting the program to meet the needs of our group and to avoid landings at the same times as other sometimes much larger groups.
Bring the best camera you can lay your hands on and an awful lot of memory
The tour leader Rudi Swanepoel & driver Jabula worked very hard to ensure the holiday was a success. Rudi is still young but he dealt well with the group.
The tour had a great mix of cycling and sight seeing.
The landscape is fantastic and the coastal rides were a real highlight. Trip to Robben Island. Whale watching in Hermanus. ( A must trip ).
Rudi came under pressure from the front riders to extend the rides and change the itinery, he coped well with this. Rudi & Jabula worked well as a team.
If you want to do some sight seeing in Cape Town then either go prior to the trip or stay for a few days at the end, as there is not enough time without.
Great trip – some hairy moments climbing back down from the Rock bridge but I wouldn’t change anything.Zohair our guide looked after us very well and was an essential part of a fantastic experience.
Sleeping under the stars, sun sets, clear skies without light pollution in Wadi Rum, seeing Petra from a great height rather than with the crowds. Meeting the Bedouin people - often smiling.Getting to know a great group of people on the trip and sharing our experiences with them.
Excellent!
Keep a close eye on your luggage, some of ours went on the wrong tour bus, it was returned within 20 mins though. Also if you are taking connecting flights luggage seems to easily go astray if there is a short time between connections. Take warm clothes for evenings around the camp fire ( early November ).It's well worth having the Turkish bath in Petra especially after four days in the Dessert without a shower!!I brought a large camping towel but didn't use it, body/wet wipes are all you need really. Take a buff scarf or two, I used mine every day.There is plenty of food and I found that it wasn't necessary to take energy bars etc.
523.3km cycled in 30+ Degree heat (Im pretty sure that was the number! Definetly the 500 and .3km is correct thanks to Colins GPS), phew, luckily snacks and juice and wet icy towel always available at every stage. This was due to first class organisation and the talent and expertise of our trip guide Wasan who always made Plan A work out, but also always had Plan B up his sleeve just in case! If anything I wish we had cycled more as this was the best part of the holiday. Merit is also due to the more mature ladies of our group who kept up throughout. When I am 75 (the oldest of them) I will dream of being able to do half off what they did. Hotels were also better than I expected and good quality throughout. It appears the trip is about to go through a reorganisation of local staff though so I cant vouch for its future maintenanence of the allready extremely high quality.
Cycling around the temples of Angkor Watt were worth the price of the ticket alone. It was a truely magical experiance the first day there in the afternoon sun at the end of a long and hot cycle ride heading back to the hotel just stumbling through one wonderfull sight after another.This is not to say that the myriad other wonderfull cultural wonders that litter the trip were of no significance as our emotions were sobered by the experiance of the recent past of cambodia and Vietnam but raised again by the wonderfull optimism and energy of the people.
What can I say about Wasan! His deft use of humour to keep us on track was masterfull and his organisational abilitities second to none. The only black mark was the huge hug he gave me at the end of the trip. I am an engineer so such blatant shows of emotion are anathema to me, yuech!
At the home stay watch your Mosquito control. I made the mistake of too many beers and must of set the Mozzie net incorrectly and forgot to spray my deet. 40 bites in the morning later...........
First cycling holiday experience for me. Good mix of cycling, seeing the country/sites, and free time.
Tough 8km hill climb on final cycling day to hotel (at very end of ride). Trinidad my favourite city, great place.
Jose was enthusiastic, informative, and obviously enjoys his job which help tourists enjoy their holiday.
Worth spending a few extra days somewhere before or after cycling segment.
