A fantastic trip, action packed from start to finish. Our Guide Lam and his team worked tirelessly to ensure everything went to plan, which it did. Great cycling days interspersed with a mix of other activities. Vietnam is a beautiful country with warm friendly people and interesting food along the way. I can’t think of a better way to spend two weeks. Memories to treasure for sure.
Cycling over the Hai Van Pass.
Lam was the best guide one could wish to have. He was so knowledgable about all aspects of Vietnam. His smile and affable demeanour touched us all. Also a great cyclist who rode every step of the way with us. He was supported by a great team who kept us refreshed along the way.
Be prepared for an action packed schedule from start to finish.
Great variety of riding, lots of different terrain and views. Excellent guide.
Down hill from Ooty!!
Safi was extremely knowledgeable and very experienced. Was always calm and gave a great briefing for next days program and before each section of the rides.
Get a local sim card on arrival. Do some hill training for the 19 switchbacks up to Ooty!
A great very well organised trip.
Safi was pretty much faultless. He gave very clear instructions, was remarkably knowledable on items we passes from mud bricks to plants. He was impressively patient with even the dumbest questions.
It was great. 3rd time lucky after 2 cancellations due to Pandemic. And no more visa hassles now evisa up and running again. Excellent trip. Cycling was an easy level 4 especially with Ooty climb truncated. Roads are nuts but actually pretty safe. Didn’t see any accidents. A lot of variety, cities, rural villages, beach, stunning Nilgiri hills, wildlife. Food was excellent. Hotels good. Very well led by Safi and his team. People were lovely. One of the best exodus trips I have done.
Ride down from Ooty. Varkala is a surprisingly beautiful and calm beach resort Hotel at Cherai between lake and sea Houseboat - birdwatching Dolphins
Terrific. Safi has done this trip over 100 times. Makes it flow beautifully
Watch your waistline You might want to take a jar of good instant coffee Stay a few days at Varkala end of trip
This was a really well organised trip, full of great cycling, good food, interesting sights, and plenty of adventure. The trip packs a lot into 14 days–cycling, visits to tourist sites, bus rides, meals, etc; sometimes it felt rushed, meaning that we did not have sufficient time to explore the places we visited, particularly Da Lat. Time could be saved by cutting out some of the sometimes interminable cycling through traffic-clogged commercial streets–particularly the first stretch north of Mui Ne.
Cycling up the mountain pass from Hue.
Son was excellent. He was competent, friendly, cheerful, and effective at managing the group. Everything was well organised, and he gave us relevant information throughout. The only room for improvement is that he could have told us more: he could have introduced us to some basic Vietnamese vocabulary (hello, goodbye, please, thank you, key words for food and drink), and he could have given us more information about the architecture and history of places like Da Lat. and Hoi An. The information given was basic, and when one pressed for more details, little was forthcoming.
The trip is packed with activities (and not just cycling), and with the exception of the off days in Hoi An and Whale Island, you are always on the move. That's fine if you want to make the most out of a two-week trip to Vietnam, but it can be a little tiring. Also, while many meals (dinners) are not included, in fact group meals are planned for most of them (though they are optional), and you have to pay for them. This is fine: the food was good, the prices were reasonable, and it was very convenient. Finally, virtually everything is done as a group, so your enjoyment of the experience will depend somewhat on the group dynamics (ours were fine).
Fabulous holiday with a good balance of trekking and rest days. Not too many travel days for a big country either.
The W trek in Chile was exceptional - stunning scenery, fun Refugios and outstanding guides.
Xavier was fabulous, very personable. The perfect balance of being totally organised/aware of the group and what everyone’s travel priorities are but also relaxed and really fun.
Approx a 35litre rucksack is more than enough to carry what you need in Chile. For the rest of the time a smaller day pack is perfect just to carry waterproof layers, water etc.
Great trip amazing landscapes and wildlife
The wildlife
Petro was amazing-so knowledgeable and professional, but kind and thoughtful and always went the xtra mile to help us
Take a head torch, dont forget a waterproof
Lots of laughs. Fantastic landscapes & wildlife. The trip started in Cape Town which is a beautiful city with many attractions and things to do. I would suggest having a few extra days in Cape Town to ensure you see all that is on offer.
There is a lot of driving and van time, but the scenery is stunning and we had a fantastic group & tour leader, so there were many laughs and chats along the way and wildlife spotting for the bird enthusiasts. Accommodation was varied, from hotels in Cape Town and Hermanus to chalets and cabins in the National Parks. All were clean, comfortable with ensuite facilities and most had wifi connections. Our tour leader, Warren prepared many delicious dinners and was able to cater to non-meat eaters.
There were a few long driving days over some very rough roads (especially driving to Lesotho), but our driver, Brilliant, was brilliant and did an amazing job getting us to Malealea in one piece. The peace & serenity of Malealea made the drive worth while.
We did encounter heavy rainfall in the second half of the trip which seemed to follow us from the Drakensburg, into St Lucia, Eswatini and Kruger N.P. It didn’t dampen our spirits, but did mean that roads in Kruger N.P were closed and we managed to leave St Lucia before the road out of St Lucia collapsed. The road to our accommodation in Kruger N.P (Skukuza) was flooded forcing road closures 10kms out. Warren & Brilliant, our tour guide and driver had everything under control, making sure that our safety was paramount. The highlight was the unscheduled night drive, coming close to elephants and giraffes as we drove to our alternate accommodation.
Kruger N.P did not disappoint where we were able to see 4/5 Big Five (unfortunately we missed the leopards, who were busy trying to keep dry). The highlight was seeing a group of juvenile male lions chilling under some trees & shrubs trying to keep dry. There are also a lot of bird sightings, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebra, monkeys, antelope, Kudu, Waterbuck.
Overall it was a fantastic trip, showing off the best of South Africa, with many special moments and highlights and I would recommend this trip.
The safaris and seeing the lions were my highlight, especially the unplanned 'night safari' in Kruger N.P. St Lucia and the hippos and the hiking in Drakensburg were also highlights. An impromptu visit to a local kindergarten in Lesotho is another highlight. The group and our tour guide really gelled providing many fond memories of this trip.
Warren our tour guide was fantastic. He was very professional, but easy going, very knowledgeable, friendly, patient and went out of his way to ensure our safety in Kruger N.P when the road to our accommodation was closed forcing us to find another exit to get to our alternate accommodation. He and our driver, Brilliant, were both great fun to travel with and very helpful arranging alternate safari drives and activities due to the wet weather.
The trip involves some long travel days on some rough roads so be opened minded and enjoy the experience, remembering that not everyone has the same opportunities to travel abroad.
This trip has it all. A wonderful variety of adventure, challenges, culture, stunning scenery, friendship, busyness and relaxation. South India is stunning.
There’s too many to limit it to one. Climbing Mount Meesapulimala, House boat in the backwaters of Alleppey Madurai, Cooking class, Beach
Our group leader was excellent. He had so much knowledge it was unbelievable. I felt very looked-after. Santosh Kumar arranged extra cultural visits to break up the journeys. And pointed out interesting features which we would have missed otherwise. He clearly had a lot of experience and prevented problems by anticipating and advising ahead. He had the right balance of authority needed to make it run like clockwork but perfect sense of fun to make it enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble.
Read the itinerary, kit list and trip notes. Take a flannel- it really helps with the camping 🏕️ and washing. It’s a bit chilly in the tents overnight so make sure you have a thick enough sleeping bag. I felt cold in a two seasons one. Embrace it all, accept the differences!
A great way to see the different parts of Malaysia, from the wildlife in Borneo to the different cultures found throughout Malaysia and finishing the tour on the beach in Langkawi. A memorable experience throughout, assisted by the knowledgeable guides on both parts of the tour and a great group.
After seeing the Orangutans in the sanctuary, spotting some in the wild whilst on the river cruise was memorable.
Both group leaders were knowledgeable, I think in particular Wan on the second part of the tour excelled in helping everyone with there questions. With a full group of 16 it is nearly impossible to satisfy everyone but Wan ensured that, I believe, everyone was sad to see by the end of the tour.
Just relax and enjoy the different cultures and try everything!
