I loved the variety of this trip. The accommodation ranged from lodges to mountain huts to tents. The activities covered day hikes and game drives. The scenery went from cool mountain plateaus to hot lowlands to lovely beaches. The organisation was streamlined.
Walking the Sentinal track was amazing.
Both our group leaders, David and Andrew, were all we could wish for - happy, thoughtful, efficient and caring. Collie was a quick learner.
Take fewer clothes, a good zoom lens camera and good binoculars.
This trip has something for everybody, Everyday offers something different. Breath taking views for photos, no shortage of donkeys, cattle and local shepherds, friendly locals, you’ll pass through some beautiful villages, for those who like a few hills there are a few sneaky challenging climbs, the most amazing descents I personally have every enjoyed, Tagines, Kebabs and no shortage of beer. By the time you’ve finished you’ll be glad to dive straight into the ocean at Agadir on your return. Totally recommended, you won’t regret it – Great Value for Money !
The Breath taking views on the final day for the Atlas descent, with far off views of the sea as we travelled through the lush green trees in the mountains tops as we cycled down 40kms along the mountain trails. Fabulous and memorable !
The leader of the group was excellent, good fun and well organised. Always working hard to make sure your bike was in top working order. He looked after us throughout the entire trip and worked with great energy and enthusiasm every day . He talked us through each part of the route, gave me some excellent tips to improve my cycling technique. Regular stops and snack breaks. Any problems with hotels, food etc he sorted out in a flash. Had a real and genuine passion for cycling which made everything some much fun. Brilliant cyclist !
My advice would be think about SPD pedals if you aren't that familiar with mountain biking, at least for the first few days if you need to get familiar with the bike. Bring plenty of fresh cycling gear and keep the evening gear to just a few items, but include a fleece or jumper. It can get a bit chilly sometimes so bring a gillet or very thin jacket, but things quickly warm up quickly so plenty of strong sun cream. Personally I didn't need a camelback as there were plenty of stops for water and snack breaks, don't forget your water bottle. I brought a small saddle bag to carry a few items with me. You'll need a combination of decent- ish level of fitness without having to be a fitness fanatic, be comfortable on a bike, have head for heights and sometimes you might need be open to a few challenges as you tackle a few rocky parts of the decent. If you have a small camera, that you can slide in your pocket then bring that. If you are a starva fan then don't forget your mobile phone, and a plastic cover or bag for protection. Gloves are essential. Don't be afraid to bring the lycra although not always recommended in a few areas. Seems more hassle than its worth to bring your own bike, the Genesis Bikes were great. Decent Helmet, if you are like me you might fall off and its better to be safe. If like me, you are a road cyclist and are in two minds about a mountain bike holiday I would say don't hesitate. There are plenty of hills were you can leave the mountain bikers behind as well as certain stretches covered by road. The mountain biking will improve your bike handling skills, as well as improve your fitness as you power your way up some challenging rocky up hill climbs. Its all worth if for the stunning descent !
Unforgettable blend of landscapes, cycling, camping, wildlife in a country which has masses to offer at great value
Difficult to single out because the variety was enormous: the animal drama of an evening at the waterhole in Etosha; the beauty of the dunes; the sheer joy of the boat trip off Walvis Bay.
Sven led the trip but the team work between him, Benson and Jonas was excellent. They combined very well - manhandling the bikes repeatedly, making and breaking camp with great efficiency, cooking great food in no time, and being really good, informative travelling companions. I can't speak too highly of them.
Above all, if you like the look of the cycling, book! Of the options on the day off in Swakopmund/Walvis Bay, all our group opted for the boat trip and were delighted we chose that. Our November trip saw no rain at all. Everywhere we stayed had places you could hand wash kit easily, and in the conditions we had it dried very quickly.
Our trip to Peru was amazing. The diversity of the country was immense. We didn’t know there were so many climates in the country of Peru.
Wow there was so many. For me Lake Titicaca was beautiful and our host family was very welcoming and their hospitality for the duration of our stay was great.
Sebastian Echegarary was an excellent guide. His knowledge of Peru was outstanding. Above all his understanding and compassion for all of the tourist in his group was very professional. I appreciated his organizational abilities.
Acute Mountain Sickness effected 90% of our tour group and put a lot of unnecessary stress on our leader. The trip notes only suggest medical advice if you have a pre-existing condition, I would suggest that everyone get the medication before leaving home.
A busy trip covering a lot of ground in a bus. If you are a fit cyclist, the cycling is not especially challenging – only the ride en route from Petra to Aqaba gets the pulse up – most rides are downhill.
I could have done without a stop at the mosaic factory/shop – just 15 minutes after starting the ride from Madaba. It seemed too much like a hard sell to me. The Bedouin camp was a let down. Close to a village with barking dogs, and near a busy well lit road – lots of light pollution. I understand this is not the usual Exodus camp, so you may get a better camp experience than we did.
Petra, obviously. It has to be seen to be believed. Hospitality of the locals.
Zuhair was enthusiastic.
Head downtown on the last night - the taxi ride is cheap. Visit the souks, see the Citadel and Roman theatre although they won't be open. The group meal on the last night is in the affluent, bland western area - not much history to see there. Try to persuade the group leader to arrange a restaurant meal downtown - more interesting by far. Aqaba boat trip and snorkelling is worth doing.
Absolutely brilliant trip! Beautiful countryside, friendly people, delicious food, lovely hotels, good bikes with excellent technical support and a really great group of people.
Halong Bay, where we visited the limestone caves and watched the sun set over the bay from the deck of the boat where we spent the night.
Chi was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, really friendly and had everything very well planned. His ability to guide us safely across a street full of motorbikes and scooters was amazing.
Don't wear a cold chain round your neck or carry valuables in a shoulder bag or backpack in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi as snatch-and-grab from motorbikes and pickpocketing is rife. Do take the opportunity to see the water puppet show in Hanoi. The Museum of Fine Arts in Hanoi is worth a visit if you have free time before you fly.
Good over view of Cuba and it’s culture.
Visiting Trinidad with its music and dance everywhere.
He was very knowledgable and also funny. Very attentive to any problems the group had.
As our group leader said ' when in Cuba expect the unexpected' Try adding on some extra days to enjoy the great beaches and the cooling sea breezes as it can be very hot and humid
This was one of the best trips I have been on. The sights were amazing (the Atacama, Lake District and Patagonia in particular). Although there were a lot of flights they all went off without a hitch. All the hotels were good but those in Santiago, Puerto Varas, Punta Arenas and Torres del Paine were especially so. We were very lucky with the weather and had beautiful days in Puerto Varas and Torres del Paine. The weather was even good enough to visit the penguin colony near Punta Arenas.
The beautiful view of the Torres Del Paine from the Rio Serrano hotel.
Miguel was an excellent leader.
On the second day in Torres del Paine the mountains weren't visible and we were told this was more typical weather for the area. If so you could be very disappointed if your main reason for coming on this trip is to see these mountains and you couldn't see them. Similarly we were very lucky with the weather in Puerto Varas when we went to see the Osorno volcano.
Great holiday with full (but not overloaded) itinerary. Don’t dismiss the problems that can be associated with altitude (coupled with the demands of trekking and camping) but the group leader took great care to ensure these were mitigated as far as possible.
Bit of a cliché but ... we've had Machu Picchu on our bucket list for some years but that moment when you step through the Sun Gate ...
Cesar was excellent. It was all the little things that ran so smoothly you didn't notice them and the detailed advice about what you needed to carry that day that allowed you to focus on enjoying the moment rather than having to think ahead. When some of the group became ill Cesar went above and beyond to make alternative arrangements for them so that they could still make the most of their trip.
Book it! Other than following the advice on dealing with altitude, we'd over-packed clothing for the trek (you don't get much in your 7kg baggage allowance) and under-packed the required amount of Imodium, toilet rolls and hand sanitiser. Enough said! If you're hiring a sleeping bag there's no need to bring a liner as these are provided. If you value your knees, listen to the advice and bring or hire walking poles!
Fantastic scenery, massive distances to travel in between though, but worth it for Fitzroy, Moreno, Torres del Paine etc.
The excellent rating is in part due to the luck we had with weather, even down as far south as Ushuaia.
There were only two proper trekking days though, maybe some options to do more would have been good, and an extra day if Chile for the Grey Glacier would have justified the miles in a minibus.
Clear blue skies at the top of Torres del Paine, stunning.
Luciano was great, right balance of sorting things, getting involved, and standing back when other guides were leading.
