SIERRA DE AITANA TREK

The area is an attractive place to walk but certainly graded as moderate to difficult would be more appropriate as many areas were challenging, especially the scrambling (I personally enjoyed that but others in our group did not).

Most Inspirational Moment

Taking a few moments alone and basking in the quiet.

Thoughts on Group Leader

A fine guide but could perhaps be more considerate of the weaker members in the group; this would perhaps not be a problem if graded more accurately.

INCA TRAIL, TITICACA & NAZCA

Flights a DISASTER.  Why on earth you use United Airways I can't think.  Besides being regularly late there were 2 mechanical problems.  After having recovered from our outward journey and feeling positive, we then had to suffer further problems.  (Also the cabin crews generally were not particularly pleasant.)  Saying that, the time in Peru was very good.  The only down side was the long days travelling but I know there is no way around that.

Most Inspirational Moment

The trek was by far the best part of the holiday, and the superb views driving through the Andes.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader, Fab(rizzio) was brilliant.  He dealt with everything we threw at him, all organisation was  excellent.  At times some of it appeared beyond his actual remit.  He also coped (better than the rest of the group) with a couple of awkward members of the group.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for the long road journeys.

Suggestions

Only to say that the representative who met us at Lima when we were a day late, was not the sort of person we needed to see.  Instead of being supportive and assuring all was OK, he told us (as though it was our faults) that we would have to pay for our night's accommodation and the rebooked flight the following day.

THE AMALFI COAST

I loved every minute, as a non walker, found some of the uphill walks tough, but was so pleased that I actually completed them, the views were well worth it.

Most Inspirational Moment

Actually completeing the walks with the terraine.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Group leader was excellent, she was friendly, considerate, knowledgeable and clearly enjoyed her job.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don't miss out on this trip.

Suggestions

Everything was there for this walking holiday.

WALKING IN ANDALUCIA

The scenery of Andalucia is dramatic and varied. The hotel was charming, with welcoming staff and superb, local cuisine. An excellent guide and a great bunch of fellow travellers all combined to make this a holiday to remember.

Most Inspirational Moment

Al fresco lunch at the deserted monastery.

Thoughts on Group Leader

The best pair of legs in the business! Highly motivating (Richie, not just his legs!) and very knowledgeable.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Consider hiring a car before or after this trip so that you can take in some of the other lovely places in the region.

AMALFI COAST & BAY OF NAPLES

Lots to see in a beautiful setting with a friendly hotel to return to each night.

Most Inspirational Moment

The 'Walk of the Gods' in brilliant sunshine. The sea was unbelievably blue and the spring wildflowers brightened the hillsides.

Thoughts on Group Leader

He was like a knowledgeable friend, always willing to do whatever was needed to make the holiday special.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Spring is lovely for the flowers, but make sure you bring warm clothing for the evenings.

Suggestions

A fascinating region and expect to add several inches to your waistline. The food in the hotel restaurant is excellent!

DUBROVNIK & THE DALMATIAN COAST

It was city tours that made it for me. Firstly Split. Dubrovnik is a must visit city as it is so pretty only; wish had more time there. In contrast optional trip to Bosnia showed a much more deprived country profoundly showing the effect of recent conflict.

Also relaxation was aided by afternoon flights both ways – definitely worth exploring all flights available to achieve this even if don’t take offered group flight as airport transfers are inexpensive due to close proximity to airports.

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking City walls in Dubrovnik that fully circle old town allowing it to be viewed from many angles . Walking part of Ston Wall which is in style of China wall followed by oysters.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Group leader was native so able to effectively share culture of country including top tips of places to eat.

Advice for Potential Travellers

As mentioned check for best flight times. In May be prepared for some cool weather although we were lucky to have warm weather.

MT TOUBKAL CLIMB

Good standards of guides, equipment and food. Well organised and reliable.

Most Inspirational Moment

Having the chance to climb two over 4km high mountains

Thoughts on Group Leader

Brilliant

Advice for Potential Travellers

Get on the trip and enjoy yourself

Suggestions

nothing to add nothing to take

CYCLING IN SARDINIA

An exhilarating trip zipping along coastal roads gazing at plunging cliffs dipping into turquoise waters and pretty bays .Glimpses of ancient Phoenician cities, Spanish Towers and ancient mines enhance the views . Plenty of time to relax on a beach, enjoy the ferry and savour the delicious food and wine all in good company after a hard days cycle.

Most Inspirational Moment

The coastal scenery and a wow moment at every bend.Flamingoes flying . Festival procession we were lucky to witness that happens once a year in a small village.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent--attentive and fun. He worked well with Roberto who drove the van and acted as back up.Michelae was aware of the diffferent needs of the group and organised us well.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Relax and enjoy. The hills are quite challenging but in small bite size chunks.Remember low gear when cycling through a ford !!I went in May which is a good time to avoid the crowds and hot weather but enough to enjoy the beach.

Suggestions

A great balanced trip for someone seeking a week away from it all.

WALKING IN TUSCANY

Hikes through stunning scenery, a tapestry of spring flowers and the best icecream in the world – a winning combination. 

Most Inspirational Moment

Every day was an inspiration.  Starting our first walk in pouring rain was a challenge but it brought the group together.  Reaching the summit of the highest peak in Tuscany with everyone who had started the walk (including Elvis, but that is another story) gave a great sense of achievement.  Coming across a moutainside covered with crocuses and another white with narcissus flowers was a reward for all the effort.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sara is everything you would want in a leader.  She is highly experienced, has enormous local knowledge and makes you feel entirely safe with her overwhelming competence.  Alongside all that professionalism, she is also great fun.  The birthday celebrations she put on for one of our group are a fine example of how she goes that step further to ensure everyone has a good time.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I had not imagined the hills of Tuscany would be so high - don't be fooled by images of the south of the region - and some of them can be  a little scary.  Despite everything you might imagine it can and does rain in May (and possibly other months) and it can be very cold when you are up the mountain so do take your waterproofs and gloves.  On the other hand, pack your swimming things as it can also be lovely and warm in the valley when you get back from your walk.

Suggestions

In addition to the group leader, the other members of a group play an important role in your enjoyment of your holiday.  So, thanks guys - you were great company.

UZBEKISTAN UNCOVERED

A very well structured and organized tour through a country still seemingly struggling to modernize and improve the standard of living for it’s citizens. Although the people are not overtly religious, Uzbekistan has some of the most beautiful mosques and madrassas I’ve seen throughout my travels through the muslim world. The country’s infrastructure needs improvement and it’s currency (Som) desperately needs notes in much larger denominations for ease of USD/Euro/GBP exchange. The country is immaculately clean and I felt safe at all times. Cuisines other than Uzbek and Russian are difficult to locate outside the larger cities, so this is not really a tour for the discerning pallette. The Uzbek people are lovely and eager to make friends with foreigners. Handicrafts (Embroidery,wood carvings,ceramics, etc.)of very high quality abound for haggling, (Sorry Dr. R. ur haggling skills needed UN intervention!!!)  

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing the beautiful,well maintained, and  clean (unlitered) cities and environs. The people seem to take a genuine sense of pride and responsibility for their environment (homeland).

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader (Johnnybek) was very knowlegible. He was organized, well-mannered, and managed all 16 personalities of our group without hardly any difficulties.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Discuss the "black market" currency exchange  process with your tour leader before exchanging large amounts of USD. Euro, etc  at the hotel or bank rates!!!!   There are great "price fixed" handicraft shops just outside the registan ensemble in Samarkand ( In diretion of the bazaar) for those travelers who would rather not haggle for souveniers!!!!  Wifi  was available in most of the hotels.

Suggestions

Pack some extra patience for the long wasted day traveling between Khiva and Bukhara (12 hours driving)If possible, different choices should be available at lunch and dinner. I did not like the fixed menu,fixed price meal deals.
