Tour Reviews

  • Loved biking the rural roads, the countryside and viewing the farmers at work and their animals. Also the last biking day up the high Puy Mary and rocketing down the other side.

    E-Bike Southern France
  • We were so lucky with the weather, it was was perfect. You arranged that well!!!
    Well organised walk and amazing scenery. John the guide in Donegal was brilliant. The group we travelled with were well matched and we all got on exceedingly well. Everyday for me was a highlight. Great time of year to go also.

    Walking in Ireland
  • For me personally, excellent. Kept us on our toes, always something different to see round every corner, giving us a great range of experiences. Just enough down time for a quick nap and laundry duty

    Way of St James
  • For me every moment was a ‘highlight’ – the ‘journey’ thoroughly exceeded my expectations!

    E-Bike: Belgium & the Netherlands
  • We saw and experienced so much and not only the major highlights. All the extras made the tour for me.

    Central Asia
  • A very full itinerary which had been meticulously planned. Every day was varied and interesting. Flexibility was appreciated on days when the pace got a bit too much.

    Walking in Japan
  • The itinerary was very comprehensive. The extra things we managed to fit in such as white water rafting and archery were the cherry on the top. There was enough culture fitted in and we were lucky enough to see a dance practice in the Dzong in Punakha.

    Bhutan: East & West
  • Great – really liked that it was a small group, that we travelled almost always in same vehicle with same driver. The game parks etc were all different and contrasting, saw wonderful selection of animals and scenery – all we hoped for and more. Zanzibar was totally different, a great experience, definitely worthwhile

    African Safari
  • A good mix of travel and walking without hopping from one tourist site to the next which allowed us to explore and experience the local character, eg the visits to the ceramic workshops, the delta cruise, the Uros Island/Lake Titicaca experiences, the diversity of La Paz to name a few.

    South America
  • Wow, such a great tour – I loved being so close to the birds and animals. Highly recommend.
