Tiziano was key in giving us a great experience through his love and enthusiasm of country as well as his strong educational background of the history of Sicily . The coordination from the airport, to tours and hotels was fantastic
The visiting of the ruins and the history/storytelling of the guides and Tiziano brought it all together
If I were to ever return to Italy and could possibly have Tiziano as a tour leader again, it would be amazing. He was enthusiastic, flexible and knowledgeable. Couldn’t ask for a better leader
There are almost no words to describe how fulfilling this Kerala trip was. I have taken a lot of interesting trips in my time, including northern India, but this really touched my soul like nowhere else and I cannot explain why. There wasn’t anything that I didn’t love about the trip. The food was great, the people were so, so friendly, the group was fantastic, the countryside so pretty, hotels were comfortable and the cycling was something I have never done before but really enjoyed. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Seeing the elephant walking in the festival parade. I never thought for a minute I would see that in Kerala. But also meeting so many lovely locals along the route
Safi was a great leader. He made sure we always knew where we were going and when and checked that everyone in the group was ok with that. He left some flexibility so that we could add in some interesting excursions when the opportunities arose. A great combination of leadership and teamwork.
Kerala is so beautiful and cycling at grass roots level lets you see and hear everything going on around. You can stop whenever there is something interesting to see (every 5 minutes!) If you are interested in this type of immersive trip but don’t fancy cycling, hire an e-bike. Best of both worlds.
This journey through Ecuador showcases its dramatic landscapes, unique wildlife, and warm local culture. What makes it especially compelling is the opportunity to experience the country as locals do, staying in locally run accommodations rather than traditional cruises, particularly in the Galapagos, offers a more authentic and often overlooked perspective. The Galapagos feels incredibly safe and close‑knit, with a strong sense of community that stands out alongside the extraordinary wildlife.
From the landscapes of Cotopaxi to the incredible hot springs hotel in Papallacta, I loved all of it. The journey then continues to the Galapagos, where it feels as though the islands are run by the wildlife! February is an exceptional time to visit, with newborn sea lion pups appearing all across the islands.
We had different trip leaders from the mainland to the Galapagos, where we had an official Galapagos Naturalist Guide take over. They have an extraordinary knowledge of the wildlife, it was fascinating to witness.
Be mindful of the wealth disparity between mainland Ecuador and the Galapagos. Accommodation on the islands are generally more basic than on the mainland, reflecting a long history where much tourist revenue has remained with cruise operators rather than local businesses, something that’s visible in the infrastructure, particularly on the less inhabited islands. The islands are significantly more expensive due to strict regulations and the need to import almost everything. I would ask other travellers to be gracious when comparing the two.
Our tour guide, Malik, and driver, Mr Henzel, were brilliant. We enjoyed the itinerary although we added a second game drive before we left because we thought a bit more of the game reserves was desirable. Malik made those arrangements for us. He was continually looking for ways to make everyone happy.
Table Mountain, the penguins, the game drive, lunch on the waterfront in Hermanus, the boat ride and nature hike in Knysna, Tsitsikama, the botanical garden walk.
He went above and beyond expectations. Was well liked by everyone in the group. Had invaluable local knowledge. Everyone was impressed with how he handled the road flooding situation. He was calm and got us all to safety, made sure we were able to get dinner and got us into a charming hotel.
I’ve just returned from this tour and can honestly say it exceeded all expectations.
From start to finish, the trip was exceptionally well organised, with every detail thoughtfully planned.
The cycling routes offered a perfect way to take in Kerala’s beautiful coastline and local culture. Each day brought something new and memorable, with a fantastic range of activities and experiences that really made the trip special – with lots of surprise cultural experiences that we did not expect.
The food was excellent throughout, fresh, varied, and full of flavour and the hotels were of a great standard. Having access to swimming pools at many of the accommodations was a real bonus and a great way to relax after a day’s cycling.
Overall, this was a truly fantastic holiday. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well-organised, active trip with great food, comfortable accommodation, and unforgettable experiences.
There are so many! From the local wedding we visited, to learning and watching local craftsman keeping traditions alive to all of the super friendly locals and even a Hindu procession.
A special mention must go to our group leader and his team, Safi, Shibu and Vinnie who were outstanding throughout, professional, supportive, and genuinely passionate about making sure everyone had the best possible experience.
Don't be put off if you're not a regular cyclist or haven't been on a bike for a while, the route is very flat and there is no hurry or race to get to the next stop, its a very good relaxed pace.
Absolutely fantastic, you can focus on your cycling, the culture and the natural beauty. Everything else is taken care of.
Having lunch 4000ft up a mountain.
Muhamid was a fantastic leader, as well as all the other members,
Do it!
Trip was well managed, accommodation met expectations, nice group of people, superb guide, knowledgeable and organised.?
Our guide, lovely chap, was what made the trip
Lovely guy, organised, excellent subject knowledge, personable, easy to get on with, great company.
Colombia is the second most bio-diverse country in the world behind Brazil. The landscape is truly breath-taking. Hilly / mountainous and very green and lush. A bit like New Zealand only with lots more trees, really beautiful. We felt safe the entire time, it’s reputation for being a “dodgy place” is no longer justified, the days of drugs and violence are in the past.
Many things. The Tatacoa desert (not strictly a desert) is an amazing landscape, the likes of which I have never seen before. Also really loved Communa 13 in Medellin and Cartgena.
David was simply the best guide I have ever had, really went out of his way to be helpful, such a genuinely nice guy.
Book it, you won't be disappointed. Be sure to take binoculars, there are so many birds here!
I really enjoyed the tour and seeing Morocco this way. Long days on the bus, but so worth it to take in the sights and scenery along the way. Exceptional guide and the logistics are handled extremely well. We were able to enjoy the trip knowing that all of the small details were taken care of.
Marrakesh was amazing and the Sahara was beautiful. The final stop in Ouirgane was beautiful and a relaxing way to close out the trip.
Ayoub was really amazing. He led us with 100% professionalism and was extremely kind and knowledgeable. The Ramadan holiday must have been quite challenging for him to be energetic and present for the first 6 days, but he was doing a great job at all times. This group had a huge age range and he managed the 20 to 80 year olds with great ease.
Thuong, our guide in Vietnam was excellent and truly the highlight of the whole experience. She was extremely knowledgble and exelled in imparting us with her personal experiences to help us learn more about the Vientnamese culture and history. Her ability to keep a lively crowd interested and engaged demonstrates excellent emotional intelligence. The trip explored a complex country from North to South, giving ample opportunities for each individual to tailor the trip to each individual need (some were interested in more physical acitivites while others prefered to a more peaceful time), We experienced the various means of transport in Vietnam: van, train, boats, canoes, bikes, and in some case rickshaws).
As note, meeting our guide - Thuong, She really was the highlight of the trip. As were the other travelers. There was a great sense of comraderie, in large part by our guide. Of the locations, I ready enjoyed the unique beauty of Ha Long Bay as well as the quaintness (when there fewer tourists) of Hoi An. And of course, the amazing food in Vietnam - the variety, regional diversity and specializations. It's all good!
Thuong was truly the best part of this wonderful experience. Her knowledge of history and culture was presented in such a charming and thoughtful manner. She shared individual stories about her and her family to help the group understand the cultural diversity and history of Vietnam. She provided ample and thorough food and activity options. Responding quickly and accurately to questions about the various options in towns, helping us to individualize the trip to our own needs and abilities.
