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)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.

Most memorable? It has to be Kyrgyzstan. The landscape, the people, sleeping in yurts - even the food. All fantastic. (more)Most memorable were Angkor Wat and the other temples around Siem Reap. Home Stay near Vinh Long. (more)
Most memorable was seeing the different places and cultures. The optional trips to volubilis and high Atlas Mountains were very good. (more)
The homestay at the family at Lake Attitlan, the volcano hiking and the caving were the most memorable parts. (more)
Thoroughly enjoyable, we had a variety of very stimulating and interesting experiences. We felt we were in the company of likeminded fellow travelers, which obviously added to the enjoyment.
(more)The most memorable parts of our trip must be the crazy cyclo tour through the streets of Saigon and eating insects in a bar overlooking Phnom Penh! (more)
Roatan was by far the best stopover on this trip. The people on the tour were fabulous as well. (more)
So much of the vacation was memorable: Climbing to Angel's Landing in the Zion National Park, walking in Death Valley, Trekking in the Grand Canyon, barbeque with Navajo native Americans in Monument Valley, seeing The Beatles Love show in Vegas, Climbing the Yoesmite falls, Venice beach in LA, China Town in San Francisco.....

The whole of the vacation was extremely memorable but the highlight was the trip to Everest Base Camp. The views from Rombuk, particularly with the sunset and sunrise were out of this world. (more)
Unforgettable - a fantastic introduction to India with an incredible variety of experiences packed into a fortnight. Excellent guide and very well though out itinerary. (more)It was very memorable and exciting, and a good idea to go on a tour through a country that would be difficult to navigate alone.

There were several highlights. Seeing the Taj Mahal at sunrise. It was more beautiful than I could have imagined at that time of day it looks surreal. (more)Besides the monumental and unique sceneries, the best moments of the travel happened during the contact with the beautiful people of the Tibet and of Nepal. Their culture is so rich and different that, as the altitude itself, takes away our breath and turn these days into unforgettable vacations. (more)
Uyuni Salt Flats as it was amazing and of course Machu Pichu... despite climbing and barely seeing it from the Sun Gate, the clouds eventually lifted. I also loved the town of Cuzco and Punta Sal in Peru. (more)The human, non-commercial elements were as rewarding as the fixed features like Machu Picchu, Islas Ballestas, Nazca, Titicaca; the chance to explore, interact, share a joke, have fun, bargain, to understand the frustrations and limitations, to take part in local living, if only briefly (more)We invite every traveler who books a vacation via us to send in a review. 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!
