Spending two hours at the Taj Mahal at sunset was amazing! Couldn't believe it was free! Also really enjoyed Tordi Sagur, the village, when we got to visit the village, see old disused sites, climb sand dunes and a extra sunrise hike up to an old fort. (more)Rhiannon Bennett

Memorable parts?
Meeting so many kind and funny Indian people everywhere we went. Everyone was helpful, full of fun and the joys of life.
Tips?
Think carefully and realistically about what you want to do/see and factor in traveling from one place to another via very slow Indian roads - or use trains
which in our experience were efficient and much faster.
Local benefits?
Yes. Local people acted as guides and drivers. We stayed in a home stay and also hotels with good eco... (more)Lesley Somerville

That's difficult as there were so many memorable moments. The zipwire above the cloud forest was a massive adrenalin rush. Helping to plant trees by potting bags of soil was great too and a great bonding moment for the group. (more)Sylvia Kenna
The most exciting part of the vacation was probably the turtle egg laying. (more)Abigail Croydon

Snorkelling with manatees, sharks and a turtle was pretty special but, in fact, every day on this trip was extraordinary... from volcanoes to markets, Mayan ruins to swimming in hot springs, eating at a Mexican family's home and taking a riverboat trip. Fantastic. (more)Jennie Walmsley
The scenery and people of Guatemala, the warmth of the people and climate of Belize and the excitement and colour of Mayan Mexico. One of the best small group vacations I have ever experienced. (more)Martin Braund

Memorable parts?
Seeing the orangutans and elephants in the jungle.
Tips?
Rainforest trekking can be strenuous in the heat. Would advise stout footwear and poles if at all unsteady.
Local benefits?
Certainly benefited local people and supported conservation. I worry about the number of plastic water bottles we got through and there is no infrastructure in place for recycling.
Overall rating?
Absolutely brilliant! The itinerary was was interesting and varied. The 2... (more)Steve Blake

Memorable parts?
Seeing the great migration, thousands of wildebeest crossing a river while making a "snoring" sound. We stayed their watching them for several hours. Wonderful.

Think about the fact that you want to go camping or prefer staying in a lodge. The bathroom-facilities on the camping sites are basic.

The jungle walk at night and the Perhentian islands was memorable. It was great. I really enjoyed it. We had an amazing guide and we were only a group of 3. Don't know how much different it would be with a bigger group. (more)Bettina Buomberger
Most memorable? Definitely climbing Mount Kinabalu. But very closely followed by the wildlife from orangutans, wild elephants to the sea turtles... Excellent... You should definitely book on this trip! (more)Kirsty Howland

Tips?
This tour is rather 'over guided'. We felt a bit limited and restricted by the tight timetable. Not quite what we expected.

It was fantastic to spend time with local Maldivians and to get a genuine feel for their country and lifestyle.

We had an excellent vacation and so it is difficult to pick out was most memorable, but we did particularly enjoy the horse ride and visit to the tobacco fields and our stay on Cayo Levisa. But we also loved Havana and Trinidad. (more)Richard Patterson
Having designed my own trip, the best aspect was the freedom to spent time doing things on a whim sitting around immersing myself in the less touristy aspects of Cuba, away from the bars and CD-touting bands, instead mixing with the least affluent of the society, meeting fascinating characters and enjoying the music made by people in their own front rooms and doorsteps.

Gorilla Tracking was just outstanding. Many other highlights of the tour (camping in the Serengeti, visit of local villages, rafting the Nile) were also great.
Tips?
Prepare for long truck, bus and jeep rides, bring maybe a sleeping pillow or similar. Mattress is not necessary and a sleeping bag just for two nights, so don't
bother to waste too much space for this. Hiking boots for the gorillas are a must. Don't miss out on the Pygmy village!
