A memorable trip
The tour was well organised and covered everything promised in the brochure. The knowledgeable local guide enabled us to learn about Mongolia. Even the cancellation of a local flight transfer was turned into an adventure.
Fabulous trip!
The trip was well planned out and so very relaxing and enjoyable. The hotels and especially the food were awesome. Would absolutely take another trip like this.

The canoeing was so relaxing and fun. The scenery was beautiful.
Thoughts on Group Leader
The trip was self guided which was what we liked.
Excellent hol
Great weather. Lovely group of people. Superb tour leaders (Bex and David). Food and wine was great. Ditto scenery. Really sorry to come home. If you are reasonably fit, this would be good trip to do. Highly recommended.

A perfect introduction to the best of Mainland Greece and its Archeology with Eva our excellent guide.
A perfect introduction to the best archeological sites of Ancient Greece with an excellent group leader and archaeologist, our charming “travel Mamma” Eva.
Most Inspirational Moment
The amazing age, state of preservation and artistic quality of the sites and artefacts in the museums. All brought to life and put into context by Eva's clear and lively descriptions and stories.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Eva our archaeologist and group leader was the perfect guide giving us an excellent introduction to all the sites and their place in the story of Greece. She seemed to have endless enthusiasm and energy and answered all our questions to make sure we had a clear picture of each place and its stories. She made sure we had suggestions for good places to try delicious local food in every village or town we visited.
Advice for Potential Travellers
If you are at all interested in Greek history and archeology book this trip now. Make sure you have non slip footwear as smooth limestone can be very slippery and there are lots of steps.
A terrific trip!
This trip is great! The varied itinerary explores all the major attractions of Jordan, its fascinating history and culture as well as the lovely landscape and, if course, its delicious food.
Most Inspirational Moment
Discovering the delights of Petra - the High Places, Monastery and Treasury are just the tip of the iceberg. There's something special round every bend! The ancient Roman city of Jerash was also a revelation. Then there was the whole magical Wadi Rum experience, floating and mud bathing at the Dead Sea and snorkelling at the Red Sea.....
Thoughts on Group Leader
Zuhair knew the history of his country inside out and in particular his guiding in Jerash and Petra particular was exceptional. He was able to use his contacts to gain access for the group to areas not generally open to the public and also pointed out and explained features we would most likely have missed for ourselves. On a more personal level though he didn't make much effort to socialise or to get to know the group as individuals.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The pace is generally quite relaxed / moderate - until you get to Petra! You'll need good walking shoes (boots are not needed) and plenty of stamina as well as sun hat, sun cream and sunglasses. There's very little shade to be found. The Petra by Night optional visit was atmospheric but poor value for money and underwhelming as you walk for over an hour for a 30 minute show at the end of what was already a physically demanding day. The snorkelling equipment for hire at Aqaba was really good, certainly better than I've found anywhere else in my (limited) experience. You may want to pack some Immodium and rehydration sachets as some in our group had "issues"!
Magnificent Moonstone Trek
Magnificent trek – wild and unspoilt countryside. Better than doing the main Inca trail I’d say as you are not simply climbing millions of steps, nor do you have to stay on camp sites with forty other tented pitches. You’re likely to see only your group (only two women in ours), the guide, chef and horsemen / porters who all work to make your trip safe, comfortable and enjoyable. When it was really cold, they even gave us hot water bottles at night and had a gas heater for the dining tent. Absolutely amazing time – really got away from it all an challenged myself with the altitude, terrain and weather conditions. Everything I could want from an adventure holiday.
Most Inspirational Moment
Getting to the top of a summit - around 14,500 - 15,000 feet. Not bad for a girl who's afraid of heights!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Brilliant - Lennin Tuppa. What a star for keeping us safe and comfortable, challenging us, but also making us laugh.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take layers, a sunhat and a wooly hat - you may go through hot sun, strong wind, snow, hail - all in a few hours in the Andes. Also walking poles are the best investment I made for this trip. Collapsible ones are really useful to put in your case too. Take factor 50 sunblock for use in the mountains. A rubber bath plug is also a good idea - hotels never seem to provide a plug even when there is a bath.

Superb wildlife and varied itinerary
This is a highly varied trip which includes a number of iconic species (Orangutans, Thomas Leaf Monkeys, Macaques, Komodo Dragons) and great scenery alongside local culture and beaches. I was initially worried about the amount of internal travelling, but it was broken up quite nicely and didn’t make things tiring at all. The leaders make a point of saying animal sightings aren’t guaranteed, but we saw lots.
Most Inspirational Moment
The jungle walks in North Sumatra were the true highlight of the trip for me, meeting the Orangutans and Thomas Leaf Monkeys. The people of N Sumatra are also extremely friendly, and clearly enjoyed meeting us as much as we did they; that was really inspirational.

Elly was superb, nothing was too much trouble for her, and she always went the extra mile to make our holiday special and share her knowledge and information. In each area we used local specialist guides, who were without exception ultra friendly and helpful.
