fantastic close encounters with Borneo wildlife
A fascinating tour that takes in many wildlife highlights, cultural insights, all led by a fantastic tour leader.
Most Inspirational Moment
Amongst many 'wow' moments the one that just sneaks ahead of the rest was watching a large male Orang Utang wake up in the morning and get out of his nest. All only 20 metres away.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Manuel was extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of Bornean wildlife and culture. He was also very friendly, organised and made the trip the success it was.
Advice for Potential Travellers
It's hot, humid and you will get wet. A poncho is a good investment. Be prepared to encounter wildlife in all its forms from very big to very small.

Inca Trek family Holiday
A great family holiday, fun, active, cultural in a fascinating Latin American Country – but with enough time to chill

walking for 4 days on the Ica trail....I too felt it was a pilgrimage to something greater

Advice for Potential Travellers
fly via Madrid or Amsterdam if you are going from the UK (not Sau Paulo....it is miles in the wrong direction!)
Give Lima a miss if you are travelling in the May-Sept months..it is cold & grey..go straight on to Cusco...this also gives you longer to acclimatise to the altitude.
Take your thermals for the nights, loads of insect repellant & antihistamines...the midges are vicious!
Take dollars & change them in Cusco..the exchange rate is better than buying peruvian sol in the UK (currently Aug 2015)

Atlas Panorama
This trip was an assault of the senses from start to finish. Marrakech was all noise and frenetic pace while the mountains were peaceful with tranquil colours.
Most Inspirational Moment
I loved trekking in the mountains and meeting the shepherds with their huge herds of goats and sheep. People everywhere were happy to talk and it's amazing how well you can communicate with only a few words of a language.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Hassan was very good at setting the pace to suit the slowest members.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The luggage is carried to the gite by mule so you can leave some stuff in the hotel in Marrakech. Water purification tablets not really necessary as there is bottled water availabe to buy at the gite.

Bulgarian National Parks
Great walking with a great group of people.Vlademir lead the group very well, keeping everyone involved. His extensive knowledge of local sights & customs kept us all informed throughout the holiday. Loved the traditional Bulgarian hotels. The movement from place to place was well organised & Vlademir ensured we kept to a tight schedule. We were also blessed with great weather apart from a couple of hours on the seven lakes walk when we were bombarded with hail & thunder.
Most Inspirational Moment
Reaching the mountain summits Vihren & Musalla.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent . Could not have been better.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Make sure you are fit enough before booking this holiday. My fellow group members were all walking enthusiasts so this kept us all together.

Inca Trail
Just come back from a fabulous holiday in Peru. The wonderful memories will stay with us forever. The Inca Trail was magicial. Our trek leader Cesar was brilliant, so kind and patient, keeping an eye on us to make sure we were OK at all times, always with a smile. The porters were wonderful. The food in Peru was very very good including on trek which was a nice surprise.
Most Inspirational Moment
Arriving in camp 3 - such a beautiful place, high in the clouds, walking through the cloud forests to get there.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Cesar was wonderful, kind patient, brilliant at encouraging us on the tough bits. Great sense of fun. Very good with our son. We were lucky, he helped make our holiday.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Lots of practice beforehand......

Mt Toubkall Climb
The trip was great. It was an excellent opportunity to learn new and interesting county with its customs and culture.
Most Inspirational Moment
Mountains, beautiful views. The originality of food.
Nice, kind people.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our leader was great! Hamid did everything we need. He intervened our teenagers, plays games with them. It was fun. He knows mountains inside and out. I would go with him to the mountains again. The big thanks to him!
Advice for Potential Travellers
I would travel next time in spring or autumn. It was really hot. Personally I prefer cool mountains: it is easier to hike.
I took water for drinking from rivers in mountains. Water is very clean there. The rest of the group bought water every day from local shops or people.
There weren't any mosquitoes. I'm very sensitive to mosquitoes. So I was happy not to have them there.

Excellent Tour de Mont Blanc Camping Trip
Have to say this was an excellent trip, exceeded my expectations. Beautiful scenery, great views of the mountains, met a great bunch of people from all walks of life.
Most Inspirational Moment
Getting up to Grand Col Ferret on day 5 and up to Brevent on the last walking day, a 1500m ascent with spectacular views when the clouds cleared, a great finish to our trip.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Heather was an excellent group leader, got us all safely up and down the mountains on a daily basis. On the last day she carried a bottle of champagne up to Brevent which we all enjoyed after a long slog to the top, a nice touch. Neil cooked delicious meals for us in the evening.
Advice for Potential Travellers
It is a challenging trip, most days have ascents of 1,000m and similar descents. The last day's ascent of 1,500m is a tough walk but worth it.

Thoughts on Group Leader
svetoslava was a very cheerful and a caring leader. she ought to have got us to introduce us to each other on first night and to our very good bus driver. Also to have got us to exchange e.mails before we left. We left at different times so was a little difficult.
