A Stunning Trip

I’ve wanted to do this hike for so long and it really didn’t disappoint. The days were long, steep and tough from the very first day to the last but the scenery was just stunning. I loved crossing from one country to the next, seeing the landscape change from alpine cliff to meadow, to glacial valley. It was beautiful. It is full on so get some hill training in but this really was beautiful.

Most Inspirational Moment

The Grand Col Ferret and seeing the Italian side for the first time - breath-taking. And the pistachio ice-cream in Courmayeur is an absolute must!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Adrian was superb. Some of our group struggled with this trek and he was constantly running up and down hills to look after everyone. He's a duracell bunny!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Get some hill training in!

Tough but worth it!

This is a tough week (and I’ve done Kilimanjaro/TMB/Toubkal). Don’t underestimate it. Someone told me that in Romania the trails just go straight up – no zigzags and they really do! The ascents one the first two days are quite technical scrambles /climbs and the descents are absolutely knee-wrecking. So be ready for that and you’ll have a fabulous time!

Most Inspirational Moment

The climb/scramble up to La Om was something I'd never done before and it was quite challenging. Also both legs of the Ascutit Peak trail - it really was beautiful up there.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sebi was great as was Leo (and his bear impressions!)

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just don't underestimate this but if you're ready for some scrambling in an unspoilt area then go for it!

Fantastic!

A great trip. I had been most looking forward to achieving my first 6000m summit ( which I did 😊), but the trek itself was absolutely stunning. Fantastic coloured landscapes, very exciting river crossings, great array of alpine flowers (never seen so many eidelweiss in one place!), amazing food and crew. Would highly recommend this trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

Summiting Dzo Jonga. But some of the river crossings and passes were brilliant too.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Bring good river crossing shoes. I brought a trekking skirt following the advice in the trip notes, but actually shorts would have been fine. The luggage allowance is very tight going from Delhi to Leh, but our guide allowed us to use some of his allowance and although I didn't use it the cost for excess baggage is not expensive. I had my own equipment, but you can hire everything you need in Leh (which would also help with the luggage allowance). Would recommend taking the optional jeep trip (worth I for the amusing road signs as well as the views!).

A really lovely week

I’ve had a wonderful week – challenging at times but so worth the effort. Hotel was sweet with friendly staff. The local restaurants were very good too . Liz was a really fantastic guide – attentive, kind and extremely knowledgeable of the local area.

Most Inspirational Moment

The most inspiring moment was being caught in the pouring rain on a hillside — soaked, laughing, and united by the simple truth that in the rain, we are all the same.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Liz was a fabulous guide. Very knowledgeable of the local area with a gentle, steady presence that helped everyone feel at ease and supported.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Great week - challenging at times but well worth the effort.

Stunning scenery, views and wildlife

We opted to do this over hiking Mt Kilimanjaro. So glad we did. I loved the variety of the wildlife and the hiking. The terrain was excellent with a good amount of challenge. Clifford our guide was fabulous. He pointed out the wildlife, gave us interesting information on all sorts of things and led our walks managing a range of abilities and speeds. We loved the trip and had an awesome time. Would highly recommend it to anyone.

Most Inspirational Moment

Hiking in the Drakensberg mountains

Thoughts on Group Leader

Absolutely fantastic. His knowledge, ability to see wildlife and manage all abilities on the walks was outstanding. Thanks Clifford.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you love some walking in the outdoors and spotting wildlife do this trip.

Stiina

Advice for Potential Travellers

Come prepared for all weather, the hikes are fantastic even in rainy or snowy conditions if you are dressed for it.

A fabulous trip to Morocco

The trip gave us a superb introduction to Morocco blending cities with desert and mountain locations.

Most Inspirational Moment

I enjoying the sunrise camel ride and the chance to meet a Berber family in their own home.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Khaled was an excellent leader and a first rate ambassador for his country. He planned extra activities to enhance our experience such as a city tour of Rabat for the group and a visit to an oasis. Khaled selected some excellent city guides for us especially our guide in Meknes.I enjoyed the range of restaurants he chose and the entertainment some offered. He was always pleasant, friendly and engaging and had a can do attitude. I would be absolutely delighted to find he was our leader on another trip. Mention must be made of Ishmael too who was an extremely careful driver and always pleasant and helpful in any way he could be. They were an ideal duo for our trip.

Advice for Potential Travellers

An excellent trip as a first introduction to Morocco. The only disappointment was the hotels. At times they were well out of the centres and very basic indeed. For example in Essaouira the trip notes said the hotel was in the heart of the medina. In fact it was a good 40-50 minute walk away. In Marrakesh the hotel was a 55 minutes walk from the centre. It was a five star trip but I cannot give it that because of the hotels.

Classic Scotland: Edinburgh to the Highlands

Loved the organization of our Scotland trip! Steven, our guide, was excellent! Some of my favorite trips were Bosnia and Beyond and Baltics in Winter (older version). Great communication with the US office in planning.

Most Inspirational Moment

* All of Edinburgh. * Rosslyn Chapel * Stirling Castle (even in the rain!) * Battle of Bannockburn --extra good multi-media! * All the meals -- cafe day 5, day 7 * Distillery tour *

Thoughts on Group Leader

The BEST we have had! Helped us in every situation! Steven had many experiences in life that helped us to feel a real part of Scotland during the trip!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mel should be particularly commended for how she dealt with the head injury, she was excellent at dealing with the injured lady as well as looking after the whole group.
