Excellent trip of a life time

A trip of a life time! One I’ll never forget. I am very pleased that I went early in the year because it was as a lot quieter on the routes than I’ve heard it can be in September/ October. The weather was very cold though, but the mountains and scenery looked stunning in the snow.

A stunning part of the world.

First Visit to Costa Rica

An excellent introduction to the wildlife around Costa Rica. The focus was on birds but there were plenty of flowers, mammals and invertebrates to add interest. A little more strenuous than suggested by the rating but the guide did give the option not to go on some of the walks. The country is safe and reasonably clean (water in hotels was all potable) and the accommodation was of a good standard throughout.

Morocco in March

This was an excellent and varied trip but what made it extra special was our fantastic guide Hassan Hiss. He was extremely knowledgeable, well-organised and patient and calm at all times. Everything went like clockwork and he made everything seem effortless which it cannot have been – there was a lot to co-ordinate.
Superb Hassan! All the superlatives, thank you for looking after us and giving us a super and very memorable week.

Great cycling, beautiful scenery and good food

This is one of the best cycling trips I’ve done. There’s a good variety on cycling terrain (mountains, backroads, beach, towns, villages) and the scenery is great throughout the trip. And you see a lot of wildlife on and off the bike. Plus lots of temples to visit.

Walked in Puglia and Maters

A pleasant week of gentle walking, visually impressive towns. Also good food and wine (of course).

Ian Cooper. Cycling the Drakensburg Ranges

Very well run trip with Jean-Paul Gardelli looking after us, Ende driving,fixing bikes and game spotting and Skhumbuzo ably assisting and telling stories. The guys turned out excellent meals every day on the road and kept a steady supply of liquorice allsorts to get us up the hills!

Discover Costa Rica Tour was Wondeful

We chose this tour because it visits areas of Costa Rica that a lot of tours don’t reach. Having returned home and reflected on the experience we could not have made a better choice. Every lodge or hotel we stayed in was perfectly placed, comfortable and relaxing. Where food was included it was always good to excellent. The gardens surrounding all the accommodations were wonderful, with birds, mammals, frogs and reptiles as well as beautiful flowers providing fantastic photo opportunities.

Coming home with such a great feeling about the trip would not have been possible without the company of such a lovely group of people. All 14 of our fellow travellers were great company and got along without any problems. However, without a great tour guide, holidays can fail to achieve the magical tour that we had. Johnny Villalobos was tremendous and went out of his way make sure we saw everything we possibly could in the time available. I have said more about him below.

We loved every part of this tour and we are so glad that we chose this tour over all the others that were available.

excelent trip

This was a very well organised trip. where the guide could not do more to help people.
it is good that from when you get the bikes to when you finish there are no transfers, you can cycle all the way. Plus the scenery is very good.

Walking boots in the heel of Italy

A well led and easy paced walking holiday in surprisingly varied scenery. The wild flowers were stunning. Don’t expect to lose any weight as the picnics and various local food treats and tastings are irresistible.

Classic Kenya Safari

This trip exceeded my expectations.We were travelling at the end of the season,just as the long rains were due and I was a little anxious about “what” we would manage to see.We were looked after so well,and everyone did their utmost to ensure we had a perfect and memorable trip.
