Cycling in Tuscany, Siena and Chianti
This was our first cycling holiday and we really enjoyed it. Wonderful views, great food and wine and good company. It was well-organised and well-led.
Most Inspirational Moment
The day we spent in San Grimignano when it was too wet to ride (although we enjoyed the cycling a lot).
Thoughts on Group Leader
The group leaders, Radu and Natalie, were excellent. They were very knowledgeable, well-organised and good at solving problems.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Tuscany is quite hilly. It might be a good idea to try some hills in England first. If a hill is really formidable you can get a lift in the support vehicle so you don't need to worry about the hills too much. In September the weather in Tuscany can be wet. Taking good quality waterproofs is a good idea because although it may be possible to take a day off cycling because of bad weather there will be days when you have to cycle whatever the weather because you need to get to the next destination.

walking in cappadoccia
Really good holiday, Fantastic scenery and setting. Hotel nice with friendly staff. Lovely to see the animals. A nice place to wander round on your own without getting hassled or lost.

There were a lot but I think getting up early and watching the balloons take off from the valley really had the wow factor. And the balloon trip was brilliant.

Very well organised and enjoyable trip. The cook was amazing, everything was kept so clean and hygienic. The driver always made you feel safe and the leader was one of the best I have travelled with.

A cheetah looking out over the Serengeti plains crying out for his missing mate - how could anyone still have a dry eye!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Jacob was very good and knowledgable. Everything ran smoothly and you always felt he was in control and had everything in hand.
We had an accident with the truck in the Serengeti. An overloaded land rover came around a corner at very high speed and in avoiding us turned over into a dry river bed. The driver of our truck was amazing to avoid us being hit or tipping over as we were just coming off a narrow bridge that also had a big hole in the road. The driver and leader then showed brilliant skill in helping get the land rover pulled back onto the road. They were calm through out and really made you feel safe in their hands. The incident could have been really bad and it was only their skill that kept us safe. The land rover was a government vehicle and has accepted responsibility for the incident. No one from our group was hurt.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Make sure you have sufficient use changed into local currency before arriving at the beach resort where there are no cash machines and the exchange rate offered is poor.

A walk through one of the world's most beautiful places
We were fortunate in having sunshine every day . We were able to see the Mont Blanc massif at its very best- a glorious vision of splendour . This is a journey i would urge anyone who enjoys walking in the mountains to undertake. It is challenging but with a good level of fitness it is not daunting.
Most Inspirational Moment
The final day when we walked along Le Garnd balcon Sud and saw the Mont Blanc range slowly reveal itself as the clouds drifted upwards and away.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Johnie Briggs was an inspirational leader who was a major contributor to the success of the Tour. He kept us in sight like a patient sheep dog allowing the free spirits amongst us to surge ahead but being there with the more plodding members of the party as they stomped up the hills using the Alpine amble he had taught us and which we found so useful. Lots of small steps and use of the gluteal muscles to pull the legs back at each extended stride. he was full of information about flora and fauna and history of the area.
Advice for Potential Travellers
You can travel with just one small to medium sized ruck sac taking merely waterproofs and a light alpine fleece washing things and hat gloves and maybe a change of clothes. Many of our party washed out quick drying clothes overnight .

Most Inspirational Moment
Walking between a lot of the cols was amazing seeing new valleys and at times different countries.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Jo was fantastic always cheerful and fun, making sure everyone was comfortable with the pace and no one was left behind. Good fun to talk to as well.
Also a mention for Tom who ran the camp who was always cheerful, fun and a brilliant cook as well.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Make sure your fit enough I found the trip pretty easy for the walks and such but I had good weather the entire time really.
Also the pizza in Italy is something else and so is the ice cream.

Dubrovnik and the Dalmatian Islands
Excellent holiday. Croatia is a beautiful place with stunning views and lovely food. We were given the option every evening to go on a group meal or go on our own and our group leader suggested good restaurants to people who preferred to do their own thing. The hotels we stayed in were all clean and the staff were friendly. The restaurants we ate in were excellent and not once did I have a bad meal. The walks were good and at an easy pace so everyone could keep up. We had a very large group of people on the trip, 20 I think in total with the youngest being a student and the oldest one aged 70 and we all got on well and had lots laughs

Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader was excellent. He was very knowledgeable of the areas and gave lots of advice. He was also very friendly and mixed well with the group
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take waterproof jacket and shoes because when it rains it is torrential. Water resistant shorts that dry quickly are ideal for daytime wear

Bring warm clothes for the late August/early September dates. You may not need them but I had to buy they may be very worthwhile
