There are a lot to choose from as they're all amazing! But If I had to choose, it'd be the Elephant Nature Park.

Raht was such a lovely person who was always smiling! She was very informative about different places and the country, which was fascinating! Also she was always enthusiastic! She always made sure if we're okay or having fun which was nice of her. She made the whole trip really fun!
Porto to Lisbon
First cycling trip — we loved every part of this 5-day ride.
Most Inspirational Moment
The never-ending, fascinating scenery — from the beaches to the hills on the final days. All destinations were amazing but Óbidos is one of our favourite.
Thoughts on Group Leader
João Colaço is an avid outdoor enthusiast with a passion for extreme sports. He is an excellent guide/leader sharing his knowledge and stories of this beautiful country.
Advice for Potential Travellers
We hadn’t cycled before in a group and chose the e-bike, which was spot-on for the final day.

Most Inspirational Moment

Thoughts on Group Leader
Marco was an excellent guide! I have been to South Africa many times to see family who lived there and have visited Cape Town and the Garden Route once before, but I learnt so much more from Marco about South Africa than I ever learnt from them! He was very well organised and I think it was brilliant that, even though he was the driver, he had a system so that we could ask questions and provided lots of information to us.
Well organized trip!
This was a well organized trip in a remote region. Beautiful views and very quiet trails . The hikes are quite challenging with a good amount of exposure in certain sections. Jose,our guide was very knowledgeable and experienced and yes,he does make the best lunch sandwiches!
The accommodations were simple , comfortable with a great view.
Most Inspirational Moment
Summitting Aitana!

Jose was experienced and efficient.
Advice for Potential Travellers
This is a challenging trip and the walking pace is quite fast. Good fitness level and training on hills prior to this trip are highly recommended.
A Week in Jordan
It was very well organised. From booking, being met at the airport, transfers and an excellent guide.
Most Inspirational Moment
All of it.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Amer went above and beyond. Probably the best guide I've experienced on such tours. His knowledge was comprehensive and yet he could switch into a more social mode when necessary, he put group members at ease about any and all situations and even accompanied members when they wanted to do something like shopping for a specific item, even if it was outside his allocated time.
A Week in Jordan
Great itinerary, excellent guide, good pace and variety of activities, felt safe and looked after, a worry free holiday
Most Inspirational Moment
Every day was a highlight. I loved Amman, and would recommend if you can, going a day early to explore. The hotel was well located, so you could wander the vibrant food markets, fruit, veg, nuts spices herbs, into the gold market. Great food in small shops. Jerash was stunning really interesting and brought to life by our guide. Petra, 2 days were definitely required. The walk into the site is as beautiful as the site itself.
Thoughts on Group Leader
He was a perfect leader, funny, serious, thoughtful, concerned for our welfare, passionate about his country, eager to make sure we enjoyed ourselves.
Two vacations in one!
The tour started in the rainforest in Borneo where we saw orangutans, monkeys, crocodiles and various birds. The river cruises on the impressive Kinabutangun river were awesome! The second part on the peninsula was wonderful for culture, beaches, wildlife and food!!!
Most Inspirational Moment
I especially enjoyed the mangrove boat excursion as we saw so much wildlife and stopped to swim on a beautiful quiet beach.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Both Rony and Jason were excellent tour guides who are passionate about their job and proud of their country.

November 1-8
We were a group of nine mostly strangers to each other who bonded during this wonderful adventure. Francisco and Raphael could not have been better trip leaders. They were very gracious, helpful. knowledgeable and fun to be with. We did not just hike but about new Flora, Fauna, and Portuguese customs, including food, cork , olives, ceramics, wine and medrano distillation.
Most Inspirational Moment
For me, visiting the olive oil producer, and tasting was number one followed by the Medrano plantation where we learned at a local custom of distilling the Medrano fruit
Thoughts on Group Leader
Francisco was fantastic! He was very friendly, organized and knowledgeable. No complaints. He kept us on task without making us feeling hurried. Great itinerary.
Advice for Potential Travellers
We were very fortunate with the weather, which was ideal for hiking. Not too hot and minimal rain. When we got to Sagres some of the restaurants were closed due to it being the end of the season.
Highlights of Ecuador & the Galapagos
Excellent trip, supported by knowledgeable trip leaders. We saw so much wildlife, learned about culture and history.
Most Inspirational Moment
