Highlights of Portugal
I learned a lot about Portugal’s history and enjoyed a number of sites. Our tour leader Carla Costa was great!
Highlights of Portugal
Our Tour guide, Carla Costa is an exceptional guide, she had done so much research and her enthusiasm, and intellect were a joy to be a part of, along with her calm prescence and constantly sunny disposition, she left no stone unturned in her quest to give us every possible way to enjoy ourselves and answer every question raised.
The trips are extremely well put together, well thought through and work very well when conducted. The itineraries are varied and contain a fabulous mix of interesting and unusual things to see and do.
Most Inspirational Moment
The full days of combined city walking tour, with extra excursions such as the ferry on the river and the Port wine tasting. Whilst some of the group enjoyed the time to shop or rest, and I appreciate this time was necessary, I preferred to be busy.
Thoughts on Group Leader
I thought Carla was exceptional as a human being as well as a guide. She is one of the most delightful people I have ever had the pleasure to meet.
My holiday feedback
One of the most exciting and interesting holidays I have had out of my 200 plus overseas adventures. It was non stop for the full duration of the holiday partly because we visited 4 very different areas of Brazil substantial distances apart which required early mornings and long journeys.
Most Inspirational Moment
Spending the first evening at Club 1 in Rio just along the road from the hotel where the Bossa Nova music was invented for an evening of wonderful music, food and drinks.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Amazing! Fred was very knowledgeable about everywhere and everything in Brazil and found us the most amazing places to eat at night, which was very helpful with only 4 participants. He was very sociable, not just with us, but with local tour guides, drivers, restaurant staff etc. The best tour leader ever and I have nominated him for Tour Leader of the Year 2026.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Make sure you take walking shoes which can get wet and muddy, insect repellent spray and bite cream. Do everything offered!!!
Sunny Winter 2026
An awesome trip with beautiful scenery and plenty to do. If you’re into snow, ice and snowmobiling you’ll love it. Hurtigruten snowmobiling is well recommended, Charlotte and Sarah are awesome guides, extremely knowledgeable and professional. A total credit.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing snow as far as you can see and then being let loose on a snowmobile !

Wrap up well against the wind chill even when just walking up town. Most of the trips supplied exposure suits, gloves and snow boots.

Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing Indian life. Deepening my understanding of Indian culture and its religions. Hardiwar - seeing people bathing the Ganges etc Aarti Ceremony. Town of Shimila Golden Temple - both in the day and night
Thoughts on Group Leader
Sukrit was an amazing leader. Not sure how he managed to keep us all on track and together in one big group given the business of some of places we visited. We had amazing knowledge and interest in many things.. always keen to take questions. He was enthusiastic, professional and engaged well with all of the group as appropriate. You could see the amount of work the role undertook and he did amazingly well.
Discover New Zealand

Advice for Potential Travellers
Avoid Dubai!
Highlights of Kerala
Overall a great experience. Some of the days involved long travel distance and long days of travel in the van. Our tour guide did his best to break up the long drives but it might be good to evaluate the itinerary a bit to reduce the long drives.
Loved the varied itinerary. Our tour guide and van driver were terrific, very polite, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The small group of 10 was a nice size. Good variety of locations and experiences (loved the backwater houseboat!). Nice variety of site seeing and experiences such as meals with local hosts.
Most Inspirational Moment
Loved the Backwaters Houseboat!
