Having visited the Wadi Rum and Petra before, this trip was an opportunity revisit and also to learn more about the rest of the country. 10,0 00 years of history was the background to learning about Nabatean, Greek, Roman and Byzantine influence in the region. Overlying this were some of the places and stories behind the three Abrahamic religions that developed in that part of the World.

A fantastic way to experience Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand in one trip. The itinerary offered a brilliant mix of bustling cities, rural life, incredible food, beautiful scenery and some truly remarkable historical sites. From the Mekong Delta to the temples of Angkor and the energy of Bangkok, there was something different around every corner. Some of the history was sobering and difficult to take in, but it was an important part of understanding the countries we were visiting. A great group, wonderful local experiences and so much packed into two weeks. Highly recommended.

Sri Lanka is a magical country that over-delivered against every expectation we had before embarking on our adventure. The trip itself includes a huge range of inspiring activities. Some are big, some are just the little in-between moments, but all have their own magic. I genuinely can’t think of a moment we didn’t really enjoy.

It’s a country with a fairly recent challenging history, and we learned on our holiday that some of those challenges haven’t gone away. Despite this, the country exudes happiness. Our excellent guide, Roshan, told us this was simply because the one thing Sri Lankans have is time. I don’t really buy that. I just think it’s culturally ingrained.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Portugal. We learned so much and definitely got to see a lot of the country in a short amount of time. Our tour leader, Carla Costa, was absolutely brilliant!!!

My cycling tour of Sicily was absolutely fantastic! The landscapes and seascapes were breathtaking, the food and wine were delicious, and the hotels offered a comfortable retreat after long days of cycling. The guide, Mattia, and support van guide, Sebastiano, were exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and consistently attentive to our safety on the roads and in every city and town we visited. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to discover Sicily. Although my first cycling tour was challenging, it was a tremendous success and an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

Beautiful overview of the country. Learned so much, enjoyed so much! Carla Costa, our tour leader, made it most memorable with her broad knowledge and winning personality. She encouraged a great group of people that turned into good friends quickly. The sites were gorgeous, too! The perfect weather didn’t hurt. All activities and transfers expertly handled.
