Tours & vacations in 2018 & 2019

10/10 made so by our fab guide, Yellana, who could not have been friendlier or more attentive...she really knows her stuff! We were met at the airport for our transfer to the Lopud ferry and Yellana met us on the island...all tickets were sorted out. (more)sarah fisher

The most memorable was diving over the reef from Lighthouse bay with my teenage children. Feeling that we have only just touched the surface of a beautiful and fragile environment. Enjoying the gentle, humorous hospitality of the local Egyptians... (more)Kelly Pawlyn

Its hard to pick one thing. The diving was spectacular but also the hospitality, food, rooms, people! Loved everything. Everything was perfect for us, we were taken care of so well, the kids had a lot of fun (no electronic devices either). Happy kids & happy mum and dad! (more)Nita Wood

We had a free day planned for Wednesday...The group all decided to go for the CANYONING at Cetina river. This was the highlight of the trip. We had an amazing time.

Memorable parts? Simply the location! It was all that you imagine Tuscany to be - a converted farmhouse set in stunning countryside with a view of the surrounding Tuscan countryside that had to be seen to be believed and which afforded the sight of the most wonderful sunsets. That the accommodation was also superb and provided by the most dedicated and hard-working hosts ever made it the most complete location for a vacation in Tuscany. All the local food was pretty stunning too! Tips? 1.... (more)Rowland Cleverley

We enjoyed all of the different adventure activities we experienced and getting to see so many of the beautiful aspects of Montenegro. (more)Georgie Charly

Memorable parts? The whale and dolphin watching trips - the full day marine biologist trip on the RIB was the best of all of the trips. Tips? The trips on the RIB boats were much better than on the catamaran as the boat is much smaller and closer to the water so you get closer to the animals. Local benefits? Yes Overall rating? It was fantastic - a brilliant family vacation with two children (6 and 9) (more)Paul Purslow

The instructors, the professionalism and the enthusiasm they all put in really made this a vacation to remember. From myself as an unfit 40 year old down to my 12 year old son we were looked after and made to feel welcome. (more)Andrew Riley

If you want a real break and appreciate nature and animals then this is perfect. Local benefits? Yes, without a doubt. Overall rating? I can't rate this vacation highly enough. It is one of the best we have had in many years. (more)Lorna Mackie

Memorable parts? This was a lovely vacation and the coastal walks especially glorious. We much appreciated the welcome pack of groceries, the very comfortable and well appointed townhouse, and the flexibility we were given to modify our routes. In the unseasonably hot June weather (30 degrees plus) having our own pool was a great bonus. When the heat curtailed our walks, the local beaches included in several walks were a delight. Tips? Vivian and Alan gave us a warm welcome and provided... (more)Anne Ife

Superb - we would definitely recommend it (and have done so already to our friends). Perfect for people who want a more active vacation, without going too extreme so that you aren't exhausted by the time you come home! (more)Becky Thomas

Amazing! The best part of our vacation was our host Stan and his lovely wife Gordana (probably spelled that wrong!). They picked us up from the airport, organised our tours, answered all our questions and generally took all the stress and hassle of the vacation away. (more)Karina Heavey

The jeep safari is a fantastic way of seeing the (durmitor) National Park...At the end of a day of challenging activities it was lovely to return back to camp and have home made cakes made kindly by Stan’s wife, this was not part of the trip but a very much appreciated added extra. (more)Linda Hobson

The right mix of study and amusement (more)Cosmo Sbiroli

Walking in the picos mountains was the most memorable. (more)Brian Tedders

The activities were brilliant and the guides helpful. The scenery was stunning - and I especially enjoyed canyoning and the Via Ferrata. (more)Jane Rowley

Memorable parts? Being in a group of mostly 20-somethings was a wee window into their world! Handling the monkeys was pretty extraordinary! Tips? Just be prepared to get dirty and for quite physical work. Local benefits? Yes we were directly looking after animals. Overall rating? It was a very interesting experience and we both learned a lot. But I think my 'roughing it' days are over; I was really glad to get to a nice, clean hotel at the end! (more)Mela Greenslade

Memorable parts? In some ways this was a perfect vacation in that it combined cultural tourism, activity and lazing on a beautiful beach. Visiting Delphi and then the monasteries in Meteora was incredible. However, with the children, the chance to spend a few days in and out of the water on the Adriatic coast was incredible. Tips? This is quite an easy vacation in some ways. The transport is all arranged and you get the most personal service from David (our guide). He only takes... (more)Geoff Braterman
