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.

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!
