Self-Guided Culture

We had Jordan on our wish list for a long time but world (and personal) events and previously, lack of availability, stopped us booking. We got there in October and it was everything and so much more than we had imagined. If it is on your list, or even if it wasn’t, go, it is amazing.

Angela Hartery A Week in Jordan

This was our first time in India and we wanted a trip that gave us a flavour of the country, we certainly felt like it delivered that.
There was quite a bit of traveling between places either on a coach or trains, but this gave us an opportunity to see he landscape along the way, or rest. The coach was comfortable and air conditioned, the trains far exceeded our expectations,
travelling in the executive class carriage, there was plenty of leg room with food served on board.

Ajay our guide was excellent, everything ran smoothly, he was well informed and sorted out any minor issues quickly, he had a great sense of humour and we had some real laughs with him.

The places we ate at were all very good, and as far as I know no one got ‘dellybelly’.

There are some very early starts but they were necessary to see particular things like a flower market or the early morning boat trip on the Ganges.

If you want to see a lot in a short space of time then this is a great trip to go on.

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.
