Great trip through under explored Ecuador

Wonderful and informative trip through Ecuador. Well worth the longer than usual flight ! Beautiful landscapes and heaps of variety in a compact country. Especially enjoyed the Andes chain, Amazon basin rainforest, friendly people and markets.

Most Inspirational Moment

Ambling through the food markets in Otavalo, Quito and Cuenca. Walking mid stretches of Chimoraza. Agriculture and field patterns of the volcanic slopes and elsewhere Experimental day with local villagers at St Clemente community - and the finest fresh picnic lunch they provided. Fun on the zig zag train trip Proper bananas ! Roast pork in the markets Panama hat factory in Cuenca

Thoughts on Group Leader

Jolly good. Bit ruthless with the timekeeping - but I understand imperative on a fast paced trip. Give us a coffee break, Fabien ! Excellent driver, considerate and safe - Maurice, throughout.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Expect some rain. Don't take too much clothing as a couple of well spaced options to get laundry done. Look forward to a great trip. Reasonable to good wifi, generally.

A very enjoyable holiday

The accommodation is set in spectacular scenery, you eat outside with that view every day (weather permitting).
Walks are enjoyable and varied, and often end with a nice cool drink in a local bar.
Pool at the accommodation is very nice and refreshing at the end of the day (pool towels are provided).
Food served is also excellent.
Drinks are very reasonably priced in the Cortijo.

Most Inspirational Moment

I cant really pick out one thing, the whole holiday was excellent.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Alexis was a first class group leader - the right attitude, good planning, easy to get on with, always looking out for everyone in the group, making changes as required (it was very hot when were were there).

Advice for Potential Travellers

Do this trip (well, if you like walking anyway ...).

A great trip – good accommodation, food and great walks

Most Inspirational Moment

The last day we went through the Mont Blanc tunnel into Italy to see the most wonderful views of the valleys and the mountains including Mont Blanc. The chocolate at Bonnati Lodge is legendary - and now we know why!!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader was Simon who was excellent. Efficient, confident and reliable in everything he did. He had a few challenges with our group as not everyone was able to, or wanted to go as fast the fastest - but he calmly dealt with the issues showing care and patience.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Chamonix is excellent, clean, tidy, thriving, interesting. Get out and look, talk to the people - most speak English. Prepare for the walking - the fitter you are the better you will enjoy it, and some of the slopes are pretty steep.

Mt Toubkall Climb

Excellent trip from start to finish. Very good leader, food fantastic, weather great, and a very good group

Most Inspirational Moment

Getting to the top of Mt Toubkall, the food- how do the cooks come up with such fantastic food, the general landscape

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent, very cheerfull and always there. And I hope Hamid gets the leader of the year award

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don't worry to much about purification tablets, you can buy bottled water very easily on the trek. It was very hot during the day, but got a bit chilly at night, so take appropriate clothing, (it was very windy at the top of Mt Toubkall)

Fantastic Challenge

This is a perfect trip to explore the more remote parts of Morocco and climb a stunning mountain.

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking towards and reaching the summit was my most inspirational moment.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our leader was amazingly supportive and knowledgeable. The whole trip he managed the group through every situation with absolute calm. I would recommend him as a leader to anyone.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The route can be quite steep and rocky so hiking poles would be essential. You get the opportunity to gain some additional altitude the day before the summit, I strongly recommend taking this so your body has a better chance of acclimatising before the summit day.

Great trip

A wonderful trip in fantastic areas of southern Italy. Stunning landscape

Most Inspirational Moment

Waking up in Matera with kestrels flying outside the window

Thoughts on Group Leader

Letizia was a really knowledgeable good guide with quiet organisational skills and a great compassion for the history of the area

Advice for Potential Travellers

The landscape is stunning but not pretty so enjoy it for what it is. The cave rooms at the hotel in Matera are unique

Andes to Amazon

Absolutely amazing trip – so varied that there is something for everyone. Couldn’t quite believe what we packed into just two weeks.

Most Inspirational Moment

The rainforest - it would have been great to have had another day there and Chimborazo.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Awesome! Very personable and witty and really helped make the holiday come alive! Our driver Mauricio was also great - some of the driving must have been quite challenging and he just managed everything with ease.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take fleeces, waterproof, warm base layers, warm hat and gloves for Chimborazo - it was pretty cold! Take clothes that wick away sweat and keep you cool in the rainforest and on the coast. You need layers for all seasons and I would recommend taking hiking boots and/or trainers/ walking shoes in addition to sandals or regular trainers. I stuck mainly to long sleeved cool base layers and walking trousers and a couple of pairs of jeans - less skin to put deet on, and sometimes a t-shirt came out! Also swimming cossie useful for hot springs ( which are also great) and a swim in the sea.

Glorious Provence

Staying in the beautiful town of Greoux – Les -Bains , this was a well chosen base,within easy reach of all the Key landmarks of Provence. A well balanced schedule of manageable and variable hikes made this a very good introduction to this beautiful region. If you get the chance make the trip on the free day to Aix-en-Provence , I would highly recommend it.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing the Gorges du Verdon for the first time, a truly jaw dropping sight and the endless fields of Lavender on the Valensole Plateaux.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader Yves was just brilliant. Friendly, enthusiastic, experienced, prepared to go that extra mile for his clients and obviously passionate about the outdoors , this approach made all the difference to my first overseas hiking holiday. Many thanks!

Advice for Potential Travellers

It gets very hot hiking in June! Obvious advice I know but slap plenty of high factor sun cream on and reapply regularly... I think hiking poles, especially when descending down some of the inclines would be useful for that bit of extra stability , it's very rocky and loose underfoot.
