I felt privileged to see this unique part of the world – its awesome magnificence,its wildlife,and its culture.The Buddhist ceremonies at Matho were fascinating and I appreciated the fact that it was nota show put on for tourists,(of which there were very few) but for the ladakhi locals.Once we began trekking and camping,the environment revealed its beauty,but also its harshness and austerity – the cold and the altitude were a challenge for most of us I think,although we were very well catered for by our ladakhi guides and porters.
Seeing the Rumbak valley.Seeing wolves and a lynx.
Valerie was an excellent group leader - tougher than any of us,and always on hand to give advice.
The obvious thing - take good cold weather gear,especially sleeping bag and down jacket - however,you dont really need great big waterproof walking boots as the trails are mainly dry and dusty.
The necessary evil of the tour was all the coach travelling, of course Costa Rica cannot be seen without touring. Beautiful scenery, diversity of weather conditions from rain forrest to Hot central pacific stunning beaches. a bit too much bird watching, if you’re not a bird watcher it got a little too much for us at times.
I loved swimming in the pacific and diving in the waves. The stunning sunset, the eco friendliness of the country. Animals, birds, flora and fauna superb, not forgetting the zip wire and hanging bridges in MonteVerde and the sunset over the pacific.
Gustavo was inspirational, very knowledgeable, excellent guide
If you don't like long coach journeys and only spending 2 nights in each lodge then this may not be for you
Ecuador is an amazing place to visit with a diverse geography. It means every day of a two week holiday is varied and interesting. With our great guide and driver we managed to go from nearly 5000m to sea level with lots of other scenery and activities along the way.
Chimborazo and being the highest I've ever been in the world (with my feet still on the ground!) Seeing and hearing Mt Tungurahua volcano erupting ..... Wow!! Swimming in the Amazon basin
Pablo was a brilliant leader - full of knowledge and enthusiasm for his country which he shared with the group at lots of opportunities.... now, how high was that mountain?! He was fun, very patient and with an easy manner had the group well organised... "Be prepared for anything" !! Pablo helped make a great trip special and memorable.
Be prepared! Bring many different layers of clothing from swimsuit to hat, gloves and raincoat. Stronger sunscreen than normally use Long trousers and long sleeves still may be needed even when weather very hot All hotels had good wifi Iberia airlines not great
The title says exactly what we did but does not convey the variety created by trips to Pompeii and Vesuvius and, on our free day, to Herculaneum and Naples. The trip notes do, however, fill in the gaps. We enjoyed a relaxing and interesting week with a group of like minded people in beautiful surroundings assisted by friendly and helpful staff. An ideal break from a bleak February in the UK.
Reaching the summit of Vesuvius as the mist cleared to reveal the stupendous crater and the Bay of Naples.
Excellent. Very well organised, attentive to detail, helpful, friendly and yet able to remain unobtrusive and let the holiday 'flow'.
Like steps! Prepare to slim afterwards - the food was brilliant and copious.
Iceland is an amazing place and I’d recommend a visit. But disappointed as we didn’t see Northern Lights.
Walking across a glacier, seeing the blue glaciers from the bus window, seeing the icebergs on the black beach.
Our group leader Ipi was fantastic, she couldn't do enough for us and made sure every single person was OK.
This was a great trip, but you're tied to the pre-planned itinerary around the south coast of Iceland. The days were very full, which was great, but would have liked more flex to get to better places to see NLs, as they are the main attraction of the tour. Bring your own shower gel - both our hotels were surprisingly primitive on the toiletries side. Also towels provided tended to be very thin, one pillow each, and thin narrow duvets.
Great 2 weeks trip round Ecuador seeing of the many facets of the country. It has so much to offer in terms of views, volcanoes, wildlife, walking etc. Can’t recommend it enough
Seeing Volcán Tungurahua erupt! Wow! Fantastic view of it at night from our hotel Also being on the top of the world at Volcán Chimborazo!
Pablo had the patience of a saint & a fab sense of humour. Excellent english. Always enthusiatic & passionate about his country (he wants everyone to retire there!)
Be prepared for very fierce sunshine even on cloudy days - take sunblock & long sleeves Make sure you take hat, gloves, warm layers for visiting Chimborazo & Cajas NP
Before we went on this trip we wondered if it would be too challenging. We are reasonably fit leisure cyclists and thoroughly enjoyed cycling through a beautiful country. Yes some days were long & it was hot but we coped & enjoyed & had such a feeling of achievement. The support vehicle was always there if the heat or hill became too much & on the longest hill climb several made use of this for a short distance. You could stow the bike for a few km & get back on again when you wanted.
So many. But the beauty of the country we cycled through & the views from being on a bike & cycling through rural countryside interacting with really friendly local people was a great experience
Suresh was the best leader so far on any trip we have done & made it all go so smoothly. And he always had cold Lion beers ready for us as we arrived at the hotel. What more could you ask for!!
Take electrolytes & keep drinking loads. It's amazing what you can achieve . The good cyclists all know they can do it. It's the leisure cyclist that may be not sure. Loads of snack & rest stops built in & the team look after you all the time.
A good tour with a variety of landscapes, flora and fauna to see, as well as opportunity to see how some of the natives make a living.
Something not planned but since Tungurahua erupted while we were in Banos we were able to spend some time on the hillside opposite watching the show it put on, and listening / watching it from the hacienda that night.
Pablo is an enthusiastic ambassador for his country with a strong sense of humour and willing to encourage tour groups of all ages to retire to Ecuador.
There are parts of the tour where it is hot, and parts where it is cold - take layers (as many as four of five unless you don't feel the cold very much) and keep them with you on days outside the jungle and the coast. Have a smaller, waterproof bag to take a couple of days clothing to the jungle lodge instead of your entire luggage. Be aware that while it won't necessarily rain, it can - hard. Prepare accordingly.
Fantastic holiday – lovely hostel (the nightly sauna I am still missing), outstanding instruction/leaders, and a great group of people
Ilse's instruction
Both were excellent
Go! A few hints for packing though: the flight times are great, but the day of the trip out means no planned lunch break - so take something with you (though you can pick stuff up at oslo airport). DO pack gaiters, a sit mat, a thermos (even if you don't want a tea or coffee when you are out skiing, a warm drink goes down well). You really don't need much cash - the hostel takes cards now, and you can run a tab.
This Exodus trip cannot be faulted…it was absolutely brilliant! The organisation from start to finish was smooth running; the location was perfect, providing on and off track skiing in beautiful Norwegian countryside; the accommodation was spotlessly clean and comfortable, with amazing views towards the mountain; and the food was simply delicious! In fact, we loved it so much, we’re going back this year!
Seeing people of all ages and ability getting out to enjoy xc skiing; also, seeing Ilse (our group leader) effortlessly perform Telemark turns!
Ilse was fabulous! She is an excellent coach, who showed a high level of care towards us all, whilst helping us to progress our xc skiing skills throughout the week, at our own differing levels. She has a great sense of humour and is good fun to spend time with. As newcomers to xc skiing, our enjoyment of this trip was definitely enhanced by her and the way that she led the week.
Go for it! If you are new to xc skiing, this would be an excellent introduction and would give you plentiful opportunity to explore on/off track, in beautiful surroundings. Equally, it is a fabulous place for the more experienced skier.
