I had such a good time, the size of the group was just right and the age band was not too wide. Our guide was very competent and really made the trip work, it was so stress free.
(more)The most memorable part was to meet the friendly Burmese people in the street and talk with them. Shwedagon pagoda and Inle lake were highlights as well.

I enjoyed so many things about my vacation, I had a truly fantastic time but if I had to choose I would say the hill-tribe trek, that was a great experience for many reasons, I especially loved seeing the tribes & the breath-taking landscape it was unbelievable I thought, a special experience. (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)We had a number of local guides showing us around places such as Elephantine Island as well as several stays with local families which were fantastic (more)The Halong Bay overnight boat trip was fascinating, the trip into the Mekong Delta most enjoyable, but perhaps the two days in Hoi An gave us the best flavour of the country - varied activities and relaxing.
(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.

The homestay at the family at Lake Attitlan, the volcano hiking and the caving were the most memorable parts. (more)Highlights were the hot air ballooning at sunrise, meeting the donkeys on landing to ride to the valley of the Kings & going into the tombs, all on the final day!! (more)We had the most wonderful vacation, saw some amazing sights, met some really lovely people and had a great great vacation, I would certainly recommend the moroccan vacation to friends. (more)The most memorable occasion was the meal prepared for us by the family in the house on stilts and the chance to try the local delicacy (afterwards), fried tarantula. (more)
Sailing around Halong bay, Motor cycling through the back streets of Hue, dancing with the children in the villages were the highlights. (more)
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. (more)I enjoyed the homestay the most as I felt like we got to understand a little bit about the people and managed to keep fit with the kids :) (more)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)
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)Hmmm, hard to choose just one most memorable part since the whole trip was so great!...Overall my trip to China was one of the best vacations I've ever had. (more)
The Cherry Blossom Dance of the Meikos in Kyoto. And the Puppet Theater in Osaka. Actually the whole trip was a highlight. (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!
