Trip lived up to all expectations, was well organised and the guides were great
So many but the Galapagos does stand out as the main highlight, so much wildlife to see it was magical. Swimming with sea lions, penguins and turtles. Seeing them close up and the Marine Iguanas, Giant Tortoises, Blue Footed boobies and Frigits.
Both were very good, friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable Johanna’s organisation outstanding Wilson went above and beyond to take videos while we snorkelled and shared them on the WhatsApp group
The Itinerary was well thought out. The Tour Leader Alejandro Rodriguez was excellent in looking after the group, ensuring we knew what to expect each day and putting in extra effort for the group, including several before breakfast walks to look for wildlife. His local knowledge was superb. The driver, Gustavo Ramirez was excellent too. The hotels were great, in excellent locations and good food.
Many highlights. I loved seeing the wildlife, which was greatly enhanced by the tour leader's knowledge and experience. The accommodation at Esquinas, Tortuguero and Savegre were amazing locations.
As already mentioned, I thought Alejandro was excellent. He put in a lot of extra effort for the group and his knowledge was amazing.
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!
