A Must Do Trip

Currently on the holiday. Having a wonderful walking experience although weather not been great but improving. Learning the history of the separation of the island very interesting too.

Most Inspirational Moment

Surviving the steps to the castle!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Gizer is a wonder. He is suffering with a virus but still being an amazing guide and companion. So knowledgeable and helpful. Amazing man.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don't travel on group booking if offered with Lufthansa. The connection time is too short a connectione at Frankfurt (huge airport and long journey from one terminal to another) and luggage never arrived for all group booked passengers. Big hassle when luggage eventually arrives in Greece ( Larnaca) but can't be delivered to Turkish (Northern Cyprus) hotel. BIG stress and hassle.

Too many to list

Thoughts on Group Leader

Suresh was marvellous from the moment we met him. His passion and knowledge of his home country was infectious. If I could ask for him on every future trip I take I would. He certainly made the holiday stress free.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you are not used to heat and humidity try and arrive in Sri Lanka a few days before the official start so your body acclimatises.

Fabulous Namibian Adventure

A truly magical, memorable tour experiencing all Namibia has to offer. The scenery is spectacular with wide open skies inviting you further. The wildlife sightings surpassed my expectations thanks to our fabulous guide Ronney.

Most Inspirational Moment

So many highlights made this trip an adventure . I enjoyed treking to the White Lady rock paintings through Valley 45 , climbing the sand dunes in the Namib Desert, stargazing and viewing herds of zebra and giraffes move gracefully across the Etosha pan.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ronney Kavari was fabulous. He looked after us throughout the trip , safely drove our overlander and informed us in depth about his beautiful country and people.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you want to experience a stunningly beautiful remote region then go to Namibia. The accommodation and food is very good and in great locations. Yes there are long driving days but regular stops and incredible views make up for it and the overlander was fun.

Fantastic trip!

We had a wonderful time. Fabulous scenery, well-organised and memorable excursions, great hotel with lovely staff and delicious food, and fantastic weather!

Most Inspirational Moment

Visiting Pompeii and Herculaneum. Our guide Francisco was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Severio was fantastic and took great care to treat all group members as individuals and meet their needs.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Explore the local area as well as the visits - Bomerano is a lovely little village and more peaceful than some of the towns we visited.

Walking in Tuscany was an amazing experience

The accommodation was in an agriturismo farm. It was a very nice place to be with all the beautiful scenery around to view on waking. Elvis the dog was a great accompaniment.
The walking or hiking was tough in some places but on completion you felt a great sense of achievement.The food at the farm was delicious. Breakfast and lunch were self service but all was provided to make a hearty meal. Dinner was there courses of home made items.

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the summit of our climb on Thursday. It was very hard on the last third especially coming down but definitely achievable. The cave was also a great place to visit on you day off or if weather too bad to hike.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sarah was very inspirational and motivating. She definitely got me out of my comfort zone. Nothing was too much for her to organise including our washing. It was inspiring to listen to her tales of adventures she has had in the past and characters she has had on her trips.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I would thoroughly recommend this trip for great scenery and amazing hikes. If a beginner like me then do get some basic hiking done before you go so the steeper trails are not too daunting. Sarah however makes everything achievable no matter how tough with her encouragement.

Beautiful Views, Memorable Moments!

I really would recommend this trip for the experiences it offers of the Amalfi coastline and its most fabulous landmarks. The scenery, views and opportunities to savour some of the best of Italian culture did not disappoint and will resonate with me for weeks to come. My only caveat would be for those who are uncertain of their capacity or willingness to endure some strenuous, extended hikes; the scenery certainly made it worthwhile, but some in the group questioned whether the physical demands were too high. This holiday isn’t for anyone looking for leisurely explorations of the Amalfi coast, although the hikes made the comforts of rest, relaxation and tasty food in between all the more appreciated! This was a well organised trip and I met some lovely people too. What’s not to like?!

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking the crater of Vesuvius and the 'Path of the Gods'!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Funny, friendly and organised!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Prepare in terms of fitness and/or consider if this type of walking holiday is what you are looking for.

A trip to another world!

I had no idea of the vast array of places, people, sights and sounds. There is something for everyone in Vietnam.

Most Inspirational Moment

Meeting a water buffalo in a rice field during the countryside excursion. Ha Long Bay is as beautiful as you'd imagine.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader, Trung, was brilliant! He ensured our group was relaxed from the start, and as a result we were all fast friends. He made sure all food intolerances were catered for, was so organised, knowledgeable and just a lovely, smiley, energetic force. It's impossible to be sad with Trung around.

Advice for Potential Travellers

You'll be able to get laundry done locally twice, maybe more, pack light so you have more space for souvenirs. Hoi An is great for tailor made clothes, shoes and bags. Watch out for the luggage limit on the internal flight. Just take VND rather than dollars, keep it simple. We only exchanged 2 million VND to take with us, but this isn't really a huge amount, on reflection I'd have taken at least five times that amount, although food and drink are incredibly cheap you'll need VND to pay for extra excursions , souvenirs etc. Taxis are readily available and really cheap.

Absolutely amazing

The best holiday we have ever had. Seeing all the numerous cultural sights, and enjoying all aspects of Sri Lankan life.

Most Inspirational Moment

Thoughts on Group Leader

Suresh. What a man, absolutely first class. Attention to detail and knowledge of his country unbelievable.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this trip to anyone. Having said that it is graded as moderate/challenging. The main challenge we experienced was the heat, but if sensible this can be easily managed.
