From hiking, to flying to learning about local history and culture, this was the perfect vacation for me. (more)Skocjan caves was amazing, but we also really enjoyed the experience of kayaking and rafting down the river, the scenery was so beautiful and we had never done that before.

Fantastic! So much to do in this area of Turkey.
(more)A small boat trip on the turquoise coast and watching the sun set every night from our balcony were the most memorable parts. (more)This was one of the most relaxing vacations I've had in a very long time, and Deborah was a brilliant host... I had a wonderful time, and would recommend the cottage to anybody who wants to experience the real Turkey away from the main tourist resorts. (more)
Istanbul was a great place to stay, with so much to do. The accommodation was in a brilliant location to enjoy both the historic sights and going out. It has been beautifully restored and was perfect for a couple. (more)
For a burnt out, stressed westerner, the village home stay gave me a much more therapeutic experience than checking into a 5 star spa hotel, for a few days. The simplicity, ancient resonances of the village and slower pace of life quickly made stress melt away. (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!
