The most memorable part were the ...scones on arrival (they were the best I have ever tasted!), walking around the beautiful country side and the farm...

It was all fantastic. Of course one of the highlights was coming face to face with the beautiful mountain gorilla. (more)

There were many memorable parts including singing and dancing with the Masai, trying to comprehend the sheer number of flamingos at Lake Nakuru, watching the vultures tear apart the carcass of a wildebeest and having a barbeque with the Masai. (more)Amazing vacation. Very varied and interesting with a good mix of people of all ages and nationalities. We saw all of the top sights in the area and good trips were organised e.g. horse riding.

The whole vacation was amazing, but if I had to name the top three things I would say (in no particular order!) going to Iguazu Falls (especially the boat ride under the falls!), the boat trip we went on in Paraty and just being in Rio. (more)
Excellent. There is something quite magical about the site. Not sure if it is the caravans, the scenery, or Perry and Collene. Either way, we came away refreshed, and for the first time ever, we are really considering going back rather than continually finding new places to visit. (more)
The whole vacation was a relaxed and stress free experience beginning with traveling from the UK by train to the lovely surroundings and cosy cabin... It was a wonderful relaxed vacation, lovely setting, very friendly and helpful owners. (more)
The view from the house was outstanding, seeing it every day was even better. It must have been the best view from a vacation cottage I have ever seen! I will always remember it. (more)
Most memorable was our Shaman host at the jungle homestay. He glided around, playfully and skilfully making leaf hats etc and happily sharing with us his knowledge and Chechan philosophy. A wise man and free spirit in a beautiful place. (more)
The walk along the Great Wall was terrific. Also the cycle ride in the country and Terracotta army of course were the highlights. (more)
The jungle tour in Chitwan’s national park was fantastic. We enjoyed elephant rides through the jungle, came close to wild rhinoceros and crocodiles and learned about the local wild life, plants and culture. The accommodation was second to none. (more)The most memorable parts were... probably visiting ATM cave in Belize which was a great experience, and also snorkelling with nurse sharks and sting rays in Caye Caulker was incredible too. (more)
Trinidad was an amazing city and really touched our hearts, but having a car and the freedom to explore, and being able to see the real Cuba was the best thing we did. (more)Hard to judge as it was all so brilliant, but probably the felucca trip and diving in Dahab were the most memorable. The sights are amazing and the people friendly, who could ask for more on a fab vacation! (more)
Most memorable? Seeing the baby turtles in Tortuguero National Park... I had a wonderful experience with a very well trained, and experienced, guide. The communication was excellent.

Some of the most fun I had during the trip was in the mini-van with the other travelers. Including my tour leader Diego, who was not only a great laugh, but also very organised and flexible with our itinerary.

Because we don't run the vacations they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same vacation can have different views!
