Interesting break, lots of downhill

This was our first time to Cyprus, and it was a great experience. The walks were not challenging, but there was plenty of downhill. We had a great group which added to the trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

We really enjoyed the views from Buffavento and Kantara Castles.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Gulie (apologies for spelling) was very enthusiastic. It was a shame she wasn't at the airport or hotel to meet us on arrival, it made for a rather shaky start to the holiday.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for downhill. Most days we drove out to a castle or sightseeing point up in the mountains, and then walked back towards the coast. Great scenery, but you'll feel it in your calf muscles. Also, take some Euros for the airport in Larnaca. Being in southern Cyprus, they don't accept Turkish Lira.

Whirlwind Tour!!

This trip offers an interesting overview as to what Morocco has to offer. It gives the visitor a brief but rewarding experience of the desert region to the south, the High Atlas region and a glimpse of city life in Marrakech. With this aim in mind I think it succeeds. You should be prepared for some long drives, the longest being around six hours. However these are broken up by lunch breaks, short stops at scenic locations and visits to historical sites which are quite interesting. The food and lodgings on this trip exceeded my expectations, the standard was much higher than expected. I would recommend this trip for those who want an introduction to Morocco.

Most Inspirational Moment

For me, the camel ride out into the desert and sleeping under the stars! Tents are provided but you do not have to use them. A group of us slept on mattresses on the sand just outside of the camp.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Khalid is an excellent guide, very experienced,knowledgeable and intelligent. You couldn't really ask for better.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don't worry about currency, you will have plenty of opportunity to get it on arrival. Of the eleven in the group only one had currency brought from outside. A sleeping bag is not necessary, blankets are provided in the desert camp. I took a bag liner and only used it once, it wasn't really necessary either. Wet wipes are a good idea, there is no washing water in the desert camp. Don't change too much money at once, wait until you get to Marrakech for the big spends, the money changers there are the best. Haggle,haggle, haggle at all market stalls. The Yves saint laurent garden is highly over- rated, find something else to do! Marrakech is great for street photography, especially in the market areas.

Cycle Cilento & Amalfi Coast

I had a such a great time. It was the first time I had been on holiday on my own and I’d been worried about having to meet perfect strangers and spend a week together but I met a group of really lovely people and felt I was amongst friends from the first evening. Paulo, our guide and Rafielle (apologies for the spelling) our mechanic were really helpful and went out of their way to ensure we were all well looked after and had a good time. I would definitely go on another trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

There were a few for me. The first was that I needn't have worried about having booked to go on the holiday on my own. I met such a lovely group of people and I had such a fantastic time. It was such an eye opener to me. I found myself thinking and saying out loud that I should have done it years ago! The trip was topped off by such a fabulous day of cycling along the Amalfi Coast, the memory of which will stay with me for a very long time.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Paulo was wonderful. He gave explanations of where we were going and what to expect. He looked after us so well and went out of his way to ensure we had a great time and got as much enjoyment from the trip as possible. His enthusiasm was always 100%.

Advice for Potential Travellers

To have some cycling experience . Everything was taken care of with regard to travel arrangements, hotels, meals etc but only you can prepare yourself for the actual cycling and the inevitable hills on such a trip.

Highlights of the Amalfi Coast

This is an amazing trip. All the staff and owners at this family hotel in Bomerano were very helpful and friendly. Food and vino wonderful too. Each day was a new experience with wonderful views and history to learn.
We had very full days which made each day more enjoyable after a good nights sleep.

Most Inspirational Moment

When we did the Walk of the Gods it was a cloudy day but when we arrived in Positano the sun shone brightly. Wonderful experience and a good walk too.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Christine Rooney a very knowledgeable friendly guide. She was always helpful and a lot of fun with her stories.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for a very busy long day and dinner a little later than what you may expect at home.

Costa Rica

The country more than lived up to expectations. The emphasis on conservation provided some memorable moments. Hotels and lodges were above average and those with pools were a bonus after a long day of enjoyment.

Most Inspirational Moment

Watching a green turtle lay her eggs and then following her back to the sea. Lump in throat as she caught the wave and returned to her environment!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Gustavo was an enthusiastic and patient leader, ensuring we all enjoyed views of distant wildlife through his scope. He and our driver Erick worked hard to ensure our days were as carefree as possible.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don't worry about the water! What comes out of the taps is safe to drink and eating salads was a novelty on this type of holiday. The water coming down is a different matter. Carry a waterproof at ALL times and keep your fingers crossed that you won't need it.

La Cote d'Azur est tres belle

This was my first walking holiday and I really enjoyed it. The Riviera is beautiful. The walks along the spectacular coastline, up in the hills and through the seemingly timeless villages were all excellent. It’s hard to believe that some people live there all the time. The other people on the holiday were all nice and friendly, so I should not have worried before booking.

Most Inspirational Moment

Probably Roquebrune but it was all good. On Saturday morning in Menton I saw Chris Froome, Tour de France winner.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sandrine is a great guide. She has lots of knowledge of the region, was always friendly and cheerful and was always well organised. I like her taste in coffee.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I got a few insect bites but insects love me, so others might have no problems.

There are some long drives but the scenery is awesome and we were fortunate getting day after day of warm sunshine.

Most Inspirational Moment

There were several. Seeing El Capitan and Half Dome again after 33 years. Climbing to Angels Landing in Zion NP. Seeing the Hoodoos at Bryce Canyon. The Navajo experience at Monument Valley and descending to Plateau Point in the incomparable Grand Canyon.

Thoughts on Group Leader

We had a different leader each week. Both of them were very good.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for some long days travelling and carry plenty of water. Eating out is a great pleasure but allow for the 18%tips.

Annapurna Sanctuary, the enjoyable way !

Fantastic trek with amazing contrasts in scenery; jungle and monkeys to the high mountains in only a few days. Nice pace to each day that ensured that the altitude increase was never a problem. Superb Exodus Leader and wonderful Guides and Porters made the trek a truly memorable experience.

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching ABC , Annapurna Base Camp on a clear, crisp day with the panorama of the Sanctuary laid out before us was amazing. To achieve this in the company of a lovely group of like minded people made it all the more special.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Great Guy, so passionate about his country and the people. Always on hand to share his knowledge of the mountains, the animals , the plants and the culture and always looking out for the safety of the clients. Added to this was the humour and when encouraged some great singing !

Don't be put off by the situation in Nepal post Earthquake - get out there and have a great time but also help the country recover by spending some money.
