Beach and birds
Our fourth stay at Kombo Beach, as good as ever but the hotel does need updating. We gather this is due this summer. We spent a lot of time birdwTching, and also visited the girl we sponsor through school. Very good weather, almost too hot at times, but didn’t put us off! Very good local restaurants, many better than the Ko bo dinner buffet.......

Rating for tour operator:Gambia Experience have always been very efficient and friendly. Their local reps are similarly efficient and friendly, and always smartly turned out, unlike most other company reps. We can not fault them. Although it is now a year ago, our hurried departure after the coup was handled byGambia Experience extremely well in very difficult circumstances, the reps being always on hand and quick to update us all with whatever information they had. Again, the reps stood out from the crowd at the airport because they were in their bright white shirts and ties! GE also helped our daughter and partner get a flight out after Thomas Cook lost them off their passenger lists and disowned them.....
good repeat visit to The Gambia
5th visit to the Kombo Beach hotel with Gambia Experience. Good value, great location, but rooms a bit basic and in need of an update! Got bad tummy bugs despite taking lots of precautions.....nurse at hotel very helpful

Rating for tour operator:Rep helpful (but were regulars so didn't need him much)
A really enjoyable Goa Experience!
Very well organised holiday by Goa Experience. Their excellent rep Anthony was a real bonus, and we thought the weather, the locals, and, unexpectedly, the food in Goa were all very, very good.

Rating for tour operator:Efficient and knowledgeable. Excellent rep
Package tour
Titan Airways Star Service is not worth the extra cost. The seats are so hard I suffered acute backache after sitting for an hour, and the seats do not recline at all. Hotel facilities excellent, living up to expectation. The chaos at Banjul airport baggage reclaim remains a serious problem which needs addressing.

Rating for tour operator:Serenity (Gambia Experience) is well organised and professional. Their representatives are all Gambians, which means they have superb local knowledge. Prices are higher than some other tour operators offering the same destination and hotels, but I feel it's worth paying for a well organised tour. It is just unfortunate they have chosen Titan Airways as carrier. (See above comments)

They call it the smiling coast. You will be smiling by the end of your holiday.
Good check-in and flight with Small Planet Airline ( and Trojan on the way back). Efficient passage through immigration and customs, efficient meet and greet, and distribution to Hotels. Ngala Lodge is superb; lovely location on private beach, and convenient between Bakau and Fajara. Beach deck, lawns, pools, gardens with quirky installations, restaurant and bar all lovely.

Rooms superb. Service excellent, Food superb.Happy to spend most of our time in the hotel. Walked to Bakau fish market- a fantastic spectacle. Took one organised trip to Fathala reserve in Senegal. Trip had its problems ( especially the long wait for the ferry) but overall; a good day out.
Rating for tour operator:Everything very well organised. Nice quality to the materials sent out. The representative I spoke to on the phone was very friendly and helpful.
Amazing location - such a peaceful villa!
For anyone wanting a chance to unwind and rest, Casa Di Sole is the perfect villa. I have never stayed anywhere so quiet. However, bring the insect repellant to use, even during the day!

A wonderful week
A first visit to Sicily, where we had a superb and enriching time, with amazing architecture and art, mountain walks and villages, fine food and brilliant weather.

Rating for tour operator:Sicilian Places/Serenity Holidays were efficient and straightforward, with well informed and helpful staff in UK and on the island, as has been our regular experience in other places they serve. The villa was superb, owner most helpful, air travel excellent, and the whole experience wonderful.
First trip to Corsica
Stayed in a villa with private pool with Corsican Places, located near Figari in the South of Corsica. Hot, sunny weather and beautiful beaches, fine restaurants in Bonifacio and Porto Vecchio.
