DISCOVER NAMIBIA

It was a very varied tour, during which we experienced very versatile landscapes, ranging from desert to the coast, plateaus and gorges. We saw lots of wild life during these days, which culminated in 3 days in Etosha National Park. Definitely worth it and highly recommendable.

Most Inspirational Moment

Breakfast at the foot of Dune 45 after an early morning start seeing the sun rise over the Namibian landscape. It was magical having our breakfast in the middle of the desert surrounded by the red sand of the Namib desert.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ronney made our Namibia tour an unforgettable experience, about which we still talk enthusiastically after 6 months. He is a great ambassador for his country, sharing knowledge about plants, animals and landscape. Working relentlessly and discretely in the background, he created a really nice atmosphere, allowing us to experience a worry-free holiday of which we enjoyed every minute. He is very good with all members of the group, being patient, approachable and friendly at all times. When rooms of different standards had to be allocated between the group members he demonstrated great diplomatic skills, leading to the group accepting the situation and being content that the best solution had been found.Through his commitment, hard work and enthusiasm Ronney made our holidays a special experience. For this and to recognise his dedication to the job and the group we recommend him for the tourleader award 2012.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take lots of memory cards for your camera and spare batteries as they are not as freely available as in Europe. Pack varied clothes as the mornings can be very cold (we went in August) but during the day - especially inland - it can get quite warm. Layers do pay off. When doing the lodge based tour, take a hair dryer with you, as they are not available everywhere.

MT TOUBKAL CLIMB

I Had a great time on this holiday. Food was fantastic and the walking pace was perfect. The guide was calm and confident and told us about the areas we were in.

Most Inspirational Moment

Getting to the top of Mt Toubkal was amazing. The views were great and overall it was a brilliant experience. There was a 60 year woman on our trip and she made it to the top.

Thoughts on Group Leader

The group leader was excellent, very calm, confident and collected!

HIGHLIGHTS OF ITALY

mostly the friendliness of the small groups makes these holidays so special, with singles, such as myself being so readily integrated into the group, especially an elderly person, such as myself. I felt very privileged to be able to take part in all the activities without (I hope) spoiling things for the others.

Most Inspirational Moment

what I found so inspirational was the organisation was so smooth, everything done as we were promised with friendliness from all quarters. I really felt I had had a holiday when I came home.

Thoughts on Group Leader

very good, always helpful and patient and well organised.

Advice for Potential Travellers

just go along with an open mind.....prepare to be friendly........sometimes things might no go as planned but have a laugh about it and enjoy yourself

FINNISH WILDERNESS WEEK

It was a week of beautiful scenery, good company and experiencing the wonders of winter activities. This was my first winter holiday, and although slighly nervous about some of the activities as I had never done them before, the experience was not a disappointment and was something I would recommend to anyone.

Most Inspirational Moment

The dogsledding was for me, my most inspirational moment, there is no other feeling than being as one with the dogs and seeing scenary that you would not normally see from the road, it was completely mystical. The dogs were great as well albeit some hair-raising moments when I thought I was going to lose control of my sled.

Thoughts on Group Leader

The group leader was very friendly and accomodating. If you ever needed any information, advise or assistance both the group leader and his team were available and would always go the extra mile to help.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Give everything a go... if you are a complete novice like I was then it is easy to want to skip certain activities however the leaders are very supportive, so if you have the money look at the additional activities that you can do like the rock climbing or jet skiing - promise you it will be a great experience!

CYCLING VIETNAM

The whole trip was amazing. The cycling was not too tough but we just went at our own pace when it did become a bit challenging. Take your camera and keep stopping… there’s plenty to take photos of.

Most Inspirational Moment

All of it was excellent.The food throughout was both exciting and well cooked and the accomodation throughout was above expectations. Weather in July was good...not too hot and the rain was fun and refreshing...never cold.One highlight was riding water buffalo. A real laugh a minute. BRILLIANT!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader (Yan) and his co-workers were all of the highest standard. Friendly, informative, attentive and a wealth of knowledge about his country. Superb and could not be better from minute one at the airport to the last sad moment of farewell.

Advice for Potential Travellers

No need for malaria tablets. Take energy bars for the odd snack if you want but Yan kept us fed with loads of snacks and the home made lemon drink was fantastic.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Couldn't have asked for more from our guides, amazing people and such a passion for their country, their job and so knowledgeable and helpful. Truly felt like a part of their family.

CYCLE THE BACKROADS OF SRI LANKA

This was my second exodus cycling holiday, and it was amazing, luckily we had a great group that enjoyed each others company and occasionally one too many drinks at night. Some of the hotels we lived in was simply awesome, and the food was always great but could get a bit samey but luckily for me i like curry so it was never an issue.The cycling routes were varied and some days were pretty easy but others were tough days in the saddle, regardless though the scenery we cycled through was breath taking every single day.The view of the massive bats circling above the lake in Kandy is something I will never forget, it really was amazing, as was the safari to Yala national park.

Most Inspirational Moment

The day we cycled to the top of NUWAR ELIYA then down to the castle like hotel, I believe this was a 90 km climb from Kandy, you could get the train or you could cycle it and I recommend cycling it. It is a tough day up past some amazing scenery, then up through the tea plantations with tea and cake stops :) and then up and up until after a day in the saddle you reach the sign that says NUWAR ELIYA, that was my most inspirational moment, what a feeling.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our leader was awesome, always making us laugh and keeping us all to schedule perfectly.

Advice for Potential Travellers

this trip does come with hills so a little bit training in the hills would benifit you and try the local drink arrack, but as a few of us discovered it takes 2 or 3 or maybe 4 to develop a taste for it so dont give up after the first one :)

WALKING IN BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA

A beautiful country, friendly people, lots of history, but sadly still showing the ravages of war. If you’re looking for quiet hills & mountains, this is the place to go.

Most Inspirational Moment

Cooling off on a very hot day in the Neretva river after walking along the Rakitnica Canyon. A breathtakingly beautiful place.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Samir was passionate about his country and sharing the amazing places that so few people (including the locals) actually see. He taught us a lot about the culture of the people and how they are coming to terms with rebuilding the country post the war. He also knew how to have a good time.....not that we needed much encouragement.

Advice for Potential Travellers

When in Dubrovnic, get up really early to enjoy the old town before the crowds and the heat gets too much.

GALAPAGOS & AMAZON

A fantastic holiday, well organized.We had a major problem on the last day and the local Agent was brillient.

Most Inspirational Moment

The trip to the rain forest was majical from the moment we set foot on the moterised canoe - but seeing the Napo Centre from under our rain ponchoes was amaizing . The atmosaphire, accommodation and people at the Centre were all inspirational.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Group leader in the Rain Forest was so enthustatic it was infectious, nothing was too much for her and she was always on the look out for us, made sure everyone saw what she saw!!The Leader in the Galapados was good but lacked the enthusiam.

Advice for Potential Travellers
