Hidden Valleys of Bhutan by WendyLou, 4 Dec 2024
Holiday Rating:

Impressive overview of life in Bhutan

We experienced homestays, a local festival, overnight camping and a rich introduction to Buddhism and to Bhutan's culture and landscapes.

Annapurna Sanctuary by Ruth K, 29 Nov 2024

Annapurna Sanctuary Trek

Great experience. Everything about the holiday was good. Great support team for transfers to and from airports, excellent guides on the trek. Itinerary was different to other tour operators going anticlockwise instead of clockwise on the trek - best way round in my opinion.

Responsive, knowledgeable, tailored my trip for me, allowing me to add days before and after the trek. Although I did not use them, they also offered me extension packages to help me use my extra days efficiently.

Silk Road to Samarkand by J.L, 24 Nov 2024
Holiday Rating:

Beautiful and very interesting

We did Silk Road to Samarkand, Uzbekistan and it was just wonderful! We saw so much...so many beautiful buildings and the guide was wonderful with the knowledge she had. The food was also wonderful....a smaller lunch maybe! There was great shopping as well in the different cities we stayed in.....from the street traders.They had lovely stuff. It was a busy two weeks but so memorable.

Holiday Rating:

Well organised and as described. Luxury really was luxury

Stunning trip with lots learned about Inca and Andean communities. Beautiful sights and scenery. Great trek that was not too difficult re terrain just altitude to contend with. Local guides excellent. Wonderful food. All transfers went well. Luxury lodges to machu pichu lived up to its name. Sacred valley to acclimatise was great and learned a lot. Extension to Galapagos island hopping stunning.

Nepal and Bhutan Explorer

A holiday of two parts, the first in Nepal and the second in Bhutan. Time spent in both countries. Less successful time in Nepal. Bhutan was stunning. A blend of historical, architectural and cultural exploration.

Namun La Wilderness Trek by Barks , 23 Oct 2024

True wilderness

Annapurna wilderness trek and it certainly was that. Our local team had done a rekkie 2 weeks before so knew exactly to set up our camps. The team was amazing and the trek was unforgettable.
