S+J in Sicily
Everything we could have wished for and more. A good mix of history and landscape.
Most Inspirational Moment
Happening upon a wedding in Cefalu Duomo. Before the brides's arrival on the arm of her father a choir of friends and relatives rehearsed a hallelujah chorale that the sang as the bride and her father entered. The youthful beauty of the bride, her father wearing a suit in which he didn't look comfortable, the swelling choir and the underpinning bass chords of the organ- wonderful!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Salvatore was excellent- a true Sicilian with a passion for his country and a wish to share that with us. His care and attention was exemplary.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared to budget a good amount for food. I feel that the trip would be improved if all food was included in a trip price. Also some places charge a tourist tax per head.

Jordan cycle
Amazing trip. Petra was so interesting and our guide helped us understand all the history. Jordan was very welcoming and not the dangerous place everyone, including me, thought it would be.
Most Inspirational Moment
Sleeping in the desert and taking early morning shower in middle of such an amazing place.
Thoughts on Group Leader
The group leader was so well informed and made sure we had all we needed - including good advise re how to cope with the hot temperatures. "Warm water not cold!"
Advice for Potential Travellers
Do not be put off by where Jordan is - close to the troubles. You get absolutely no sense of this when u r there.

Walking the Amalfi Coast
Loved the walking experience and cultural immersion. The scenery was drop dead gorgeous. The hotel exceeded our expectations.
Most Inspirational Moment
Either the Walk of the Gods or the waterfall on the walk up to Ravello.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Suzy was an excellent group leader who challenged our group to reach our full hiking potential along with many interesting stories. She went out of her way to try to make sure everyone was enjoying their experience. Her love for the Italians wore off on the rest of us.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Layers, layers, layers. Higher elevations can be cold, be prepared. Mt. Vesuvius was blustery at the top.

Great trip
This trek is very well organised and straight forward for experienced walkers. The countryside is similar to the Cotswolds and there are few hills and no difficult sections. Our guide was brilliant and the walk was well paced – if you can walk 10 miles a day you can do this trek.
Most Inspirational Moment
Arriving in the old town in Santiago and the service in the Cathedral with the "swinging" incense - even if you are not Catholic you will find this a very special ending to the trek.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Hose was the perfect guide - he made sure everyone enjoyed the trek and managed the pace very well. He looked after those with blisters and dealt with any other problems with great professionalism. You won't find a better guide anywhere in the world!
Advice for Potential Travellers
You don't need heavy walking boots as much of this trek is on lanes or hard surfaces - good walking shoes are more than adequate. Everyone in our group was an experienced walker but the hard surfaces caused the blisters - some walked in strong sandals which worked quite well.

Prague to Budapest Ride
The trip had some fantastic sites along the way with a very good standard of hotels. The itinery for each day was excellent with some great cycling to be partaken with each day offering something for everyones taste. There were a few hills the first few days to be enjoyed or for those that were not ready full support given. The pace was set to the slowest rider and there was no pressure from the group or leader to rush the experience. I would fully recommend the trip to anyone who is interested in medieval architecture and history as the guides take you to some beautiful sites and relay some very intersting facts along the way.
Most Inspirational Moment
There were a few inspirational moments in the trip, the beautiful city of Prague, Cesky Krumlov, Telc, Vienna, the Cathedral in Esztergom and the beautiful Budapest. The ride along the Danube was also very beautiful and not to be missed.
Thoughts on Group Leader
The group leader Johan had an excellent historical knowledge which he was able to pass on where ever we turned up to. He made sure the group were well provided for and made to feel safe throughout. His excellent knowledge of the route brought in some great little coffee and lunch stops at just the right time in local restuarants along the way.
Advice for Potential Travellers
I would recommend taking an extra day at the start and end of the trip or an early/late flight so that you get to explore Prague and Budapest more fully as they are both beautiful cities with a lot to see.

Cycling the Dalmatian Coast
This trip was a 12 out of 10. The group of 16 gelled very well. The ages ranged from the 30s to upper 70s.
The guide, Ana was very personable. We could travel at our own speed and there was plenty of time to savor our surroundings.
Most Inspirational Moment
Making it to the top of the long hills without dismounting.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ana was awesome. Very knowledgeable of the countryside. Knew all the good restaurants.
Very personable.

Albanian Adventure
Beautiful country, great group, interesting cycling with a challenge on the last day. A hugely enjoyable week.
Most Inspirational Moment
The country itself was the real highlight, but making the top on the last day's riding was a buzz.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Armand (tour leader), Arjan and Dhimo (guides) worked hard throughout, did a great job and were good ambassadors for Albania. They organised the cycling so that people could go at their own speed, which I think suited everyone with no pressure to speed up/slow down.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Go - before everyone else does.

Amazingly well put together and supported holiday
An amazing trip from end to end. It had everything!
Great food, great biking, great people and most of all great scenery.
Most Inspirational Moment
Walking through the canyon at Petra and slowly having the treasury revealed to us. It's stunning every time you walk past it.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Wael was an amazing guide!
Friendly with an infectious laugh. A lot of local and historical knowledge and he knew exactly how to get the most out of our trip.
He even gave us great advice about visiting the capital (which we did on our own time outside of this trip).
I was genuinely sad to say goodbye to him.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Talk to people! We didn't meet a single unfriendly person in Jordan. Everyone was wonderful and happy to talk.
