Highlights of Portugal
I learned a lot about Portugal’s history and enjoyed a number of sites. Our tour leader Carla Costa was great!
Highlights of Portugal
Our Tour guide, Carla Costa is an exceptional guide, she had done so much research and her enthusiasm, and intellect were a joy to be a part of, along with her calm prescence and constantly sunny disposition, she left no stone unturned in her quest to give us every possible way to enjoy ourselves and answer every question raised.
The trips are extremely well put together, well thought through and work very well when conducted. The itineraries are varied and contain a fabulous mix of interesting and unusual things to see and do.
Most Inspirational Moment
The full days of combined city walking tour, with extra excursions such as the ferry on the river and the Port wine tasting. Whilst some of the group enjoyed the time to shop or rest, and I appreciate this time was necessary, I preferred to be busy.
Thoughts on Group Leader
I thought Carla was exceptional as a human being as well as a guide. She is one of the most delightful people I have ever had the pleasure to meet.
My holiday feedback
One of the most exciting and interesting holidays I have had out of my 200 plus overseas adventures. It was non stop for the full duration of the holiday partly because we visited 4 very different areas of Brazil substantial distances apart which required early mornings and long journeys.
Most Inspirational Moment
Spending the first evening at Club 1 in Rio just along the road from the hotel where the Bossa Nova music was invented for an evening of wonderful music, food and drinks.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Amazing! Fred was very knowledgeable about everywhere and everything in Brazil and found us the most amazing places to eat at night, which was very helpful with only 4 participants. He was very sociable, not just with us, but with local tour guides, drivers, restaurant staff etc. The best tour leader ever and I have nominated him for Tour Leader of the Year 2026.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Make sure you take walking shoes which can get wet and muddy, insect repellent spray and bite cream. Do everything offered!!!

Sunny Winter 2026
An awesome trip with beautiful scenery and plenty to do. If you’re into snow, ice and snowmobiling you’ll love it. Hurtigruten snowmobiling is well recommended, Charlotte and Sarah are awesome guides, extremely knowledgeable and professional. A total credit.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing snow as far as you can see and then being let loose on a snowmobile !
Thoughts on Group Leader
Garance was lovely, she looked after us well, even arranged a bonus free trip too. Totally recommended.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Wrap up well against the wind chill even when just walking up town. Most of the trips supplied exposure suits, gloves and snow boots.
Highlights Of Egypt
It was an incredible experience, made special by our amazing guide Sayed
Most Inspirational Moment
Everything, Abu Simbal, the Pyramids and the museums especially
Thoughts on Group Leader
He was such a great guide - 5* He brought alive Egyptian History with his incredible stories and knowledge. We learnt so much (I feel I know more now than ever before) and he is so positive, joyful with lots of energy and was really helpful whenever anything needed sorting.

Italian Dolomites Cross-Country Skiing
Great leaders, very good value, interesting places and varied adventures
Most Inspirational Moment
Skiing in the Dolimites: every view is a highlight!
Thoughts on Group Leader
He was excellent at managing the group. When I was injured he took care of me and still kept the group on track for their lunch location and more skiing. His overall skills as a leader are very strong.
Kerala & the Tropical South
It was very well organised, to what appear to be the main highlights of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Visits were planned for the group to gain the most experience e.g. times of day, vantage points. The programme is nicely varied for the widest experiences. Discussion was encouraged – which this group readily responded to. Not sure if there is a section on the tour manager, but Vinod was an absolute star: he was knowledgeable in so many areas, gave background context, always made sure everyone had their refreshment and meal orders, was always available for whatever anyone needed to raise with him. Plus he’s an incredibly nice chap!
Most Inspirational Moment
There are so many... Tea plantation and nature reserve walks, Madurai temple visits, houseboat sailing, palaces. Appreciated the more relaxed time in Kovolam. Well worth upgrading to the rooms nearer the sea.
Thoughts on Group Leader
In a word, fantastic. He made sure he welcomed us on our delayed arrival and quickly introduced us to the group. His knowledge (history, culture, nature) is superb and he is only too willing to share it. We had regular talks and shared information on our journeys. Organisation is a huge strength. Hotel check-ins a doddle as he had copied our passports, he was always present to help with food/drink orders and to ensure their prompt arrival. His planning and sense of timing are excellent
