Don't worry about the weather and simply enjoy the most beautiful trip of your life (more)Lidia Ghilardi

A truly unique part of the world with an exceptionally friendly crew and a nice well-travelled international bunch of fellow travelers. To be recommended. (more)Charles Woodward

It was excellent. Everything was well organised. I would definitely return to the same destination, and on the same itinerary... (more)Alastair Giddings

One of the best - a really interesting country. And the local operators do a really good job keeping western tourists comfortable in sometimes challenging local conditions. (more)Peter Chapman

The highlight was seeing the people, the remote locations, the sights we saw tucked away off streets - no fencing around them, just there for all to enjoy...sunrise on camels, sunset on the pyramids. (more)Virginia Draper

I had a great time with a good international group of friends. A brilliant guide Kahlid, great drivers and support staff. (more)Geoffrey Hermsen

Memorable parts? Camping in the deserts, especially the day we (by luck) stopped to stay with a small group of nomads in Mauritania. Tips? Don't expect everything to run as planned - take it as it comes, but be sure that Alberto and his great team do everything in their power to give you an unforgettable and great experience every day Local benefits? We definitely supported the local communities along the way by using local guides and buying food locally etc. Overall rating? Truly... (more)Martin Andersen

Memorable parts? The amazing location of the ice festival on the huge frozen lake. People dashing around on horse sleighs. I particularly enjoyed being among local people enjoying the ice sculptures, and spending time with a family in Hartgal. Also, the herds of horses, yaks, cattle and sheep and goats roaming freely all over the countryside. The Deer Stones near Muron were so interesting. Tips? Jess is so helpful and responds to any queries about the trips. I felt confident about... (more)Sally-Anne Deards

We found the Bangladeshi people one of the friendliest (more)Antony Griggs

Very interesting and enjoyable. The most memorable part is the amount of curiosity we aroused wherever we went - people were interested to see us and wanted to talk to us - and have their photos taken with us (more)Miranda Clifton

I loved the Sundarbans and seeing the tribal people of the CHT. Absolutely wonderful (more)Rob Horsefield

Memorable parts? There were quite a few highlights in Turkmenistan: the dinosaur trail near Afghanistan, the fire crater, the old ruins of Merv, Konya Urgench, and more. One day we were passing through a town and saw that there was a wedding. Everyone was so happy and wanted us to be happy with them and join in - so we did. Ashgabat itself is weird. The scale of the city is huge, not people-scaled at all. I don't think that there was any urban planning involved, just large avenues with... (more)Jacqui Licht

Memorable parts? Staying in the rainforest with the 'pygmy' people, showing us as much as they could of their lifestyle. Tips? Be prepared for torrential rain as the 'rainy' season is now unpredictable Local benefits? yes we contributed to local people and projects Overall rating? (more)Lucy Thomson

Memorable parts? The old Steam train journey winding through the mountains from Asmara to Nefasit is fantastic and simply something you can't do anywhere else. (Though this is run only for tourists and you need c.15 people for the train to operate.) Tips? Read up about where you want to go in Eritrea. Travel is restricted to tourists due to the need to have permits to visit anywhere outside of Asmara. This means some of the fantastic places that Eritrea has within its borders are... (more)Faye T
