Mr
If you love seeing spectacular natural wonders and also see some amazing cities, this trip is for you.
Most Inspirational Moment
Driving on Xmas Day in the heavy snow and blue skies from Zion to Bryce Canyon. The amazing views got even better in the snow! It was my first white Xmas as well.
Thoughts on Group Leader
He was kind, friendly, courteous and professional.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The tour does not leave much time to explore San Francisco and Las Vegas. I recommend arriving a few days before and/or staying a few days after the tour ends for city sightseeing.

Wild and wonderful
Just back from an amazing way to spend New Year. I was slightly hesitant that skiing may not be my thing but it’s so accessible to get involved even for the complete novice. What great fun…I’ve never fallen over so many times and my knees are still bruised but it was worth it!
The lodge and the couple running it were so hospitable, the facilities simple Scandi ‘hygge’ and there was nothing more pleasant than a hot sauna to warm up in at the end of a day in the cold. As a veggie, I was also pleased with the care and attention to providing protein rich options for dinner – the food was hearty and wholesome.
Most Inspirational Moment
As an absolute beginner, staying upright on a small slope was an amazing feat.
Snowshoeing up to the top of the plateau and seeing the wilderness for miles around
Spending New Year in the snowy wilds and with such great people!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Illse and Mary were really great at coaching us in less than favourable conditions and keeping the options open to all abilities and inclinations for activity. They also provide evening 'entertainment'..but I will keep the content a surprise!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Definitely take the advice of others and pack a bottle or buy supplies in the duty free at Oslo when you land. Drinks are available at the Lodge with high Norwegian tax added!
I packed way too much, inside the lodge is super warm and cosy so a t-shirt is fine. Cosy boots useful for traversing between lodge and sleeping hut as are some sort of mini-crampon overshoe as it can be an ice-rink out there!
Bring an extra towel you can use in the sauna...bikini's too if you don't fancy going native.
A flask and sit mat are essential but you can borrow one if you forget them.
Extra snacks are good to pack for when you need a burst of energy out on trail
Hiking clothes are perfect unless you're extra sensitive to cold. I just wore merino long johns with trousers over the top and a couple of merino base layers, a wind proof top and a lightweight hard shell.

Walking in the mountains on day 4, amazing views.

Sweet Peru
I had altitude sickness & only made it 6 miles on the Inca Trail. Nevertheless, the trip was a life-changing experience because I saw the majesty of Manchu Pichu, went horseback riding, learned some Spanish, ate well and saw Cusco in detail.
Most Inspirational Moment
Reading Spanish with the tour leader assistant Christmas morning over eggs & toast.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Loved him. Very lively and insightful. I loved the assistant as well. Both are well trained in emergency services.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Don't get hung up if you don't complete the trek for whatever reason. You'll still have a great trip with stories to share.

Gozo go slow
An ideal escape, even in the winter months when the sun is not so reliable.
Most Inspirational Moment
I'm really pleased to look at the map of Gozo and know that I have walked virtually all of it. The walk booklet led me across the island in all directions but knowing that it was very hard to get lost gave me more freedom to explore 'off piste'.
Thoughts on Group Leader

Advice for Potential Travellers
The Ta Cenc hotel was very welcoming and the rooms comfortable and heated! The spa was a bit tired but the heated pool a must. Staff were lovely. Winter in Gozo was okay but it would have been even nicer in the spring. As a single female traveller I felt very safe.

Pretty basic accommodation much of the time.
Most Inspirational Moment
The fantastic scenery in the Atlas mountains.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Radu was excellent. Always thinking ahead,He had great attention to detail and understanding of the preferences of the individual group members.
Advice for Potential Travellers
It is very cold in the mountains so bring enough warm clothes - the sort of things you'd wear cycling on a winters day in the UK.

Walking the Prosecco Hills
An enjoyable and varied week of walking in an unspoilt region of Italy
Most Inspirational Moment
We loved the visit to Treviso. Our guide Gabriella gave a great tour and we loved it so much we returned on our free day to explore some more.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Christine was great at ensuring the group interacted well and despite it being only the first time she had run the trip she was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Advice for Potential Travellers
It can get very hot walking on the slopes of the vineyards so drink plenty of water. Sticks are helpful on the descents.
