Tours & vacations in 2019 & 2020

Memorable parts? This was a very special vacation, so a difficult question to answer but one thing stands out - the transport systems in Japan are so wheelchair friendly! We used bullet trains, underground, monorail, trams and boats, all with no troubles, but with lots of help from friendly Japanese staff. And, of course, they were all perfectly on time. Tips? The operator were superb in ensuring that accessible needs were catered for. Be clear with them as to what you need and... (more)Andy Sykes

From the moment we were picked up from the airport the vacation was beyond expectation. Everything was perfect, I wanted a horse trekking related vacation in hills and countryside and that is what I got. (more)Gill Glegg

The most memorable part was kayaking, the ropes course and zip wire and hanging out with the cats and other guests. (more)Saket Priyadarshi

The stunning views from the cave-house and the peace and tranquillity there. The sense of history. The beautiful and varied geography. The friendly welcome from locals and the feeling that we found somewhere fascinating that the Spaniards come on vacation. (more)Fiona Armer

WONDERFUL. Out first three generation family vacation in several years and it couldn't have been better. (more)Melissa Elliott

Memorable parts? Safari in Tanzania and hot air balloon. Tips? Ensure lodges do and local partners do have sustainable practices in place before you go (employee wages, waste management, etc) Local benefits? Partially. Some lodges were more aware than others of use of plastic, water conservation, etc. Our Tanzania operator was much more sophisticated in its environmental practices than our Uganda experience, where it was close to null. In Uganda, neither the lodge nor the... (more)Camila Wills

Memorable parts? It was fantastic to spend time with local Maldivians and to get a genuine feel for their country and lifestyle. Another highlight was snorkelling with turtles and manta rays in the crystal clear aquamarine waters off some of the many islands. The Maldivians are incredibly kind people and their country is breathtakingly beautiful! Tips? - Go with an open mind and a sense of humour! - Take an underwater camera or GoPro, if at all possible. - Pack sun lotion and a... (more)Sandra Schuler

Wonderful skiing and meeting all the other families. The yoga in the mornings and evenings really helped the muscles after skiing. (more)Gemma Carr

Such an unusual and great blend of yoga in the morning as the sun came up and fun circus skills, provided by fun, caring people. The community feel that the team creates is very special. Nothing is too much trouble. Our kids aged 10 and 12 had a ball and enjoyed mingling with the 35+ other kids form the UK. (more)Britta Bayman

Garonga Safari Park. Amazing experience. Beautiful accommodation with fantastic safari drives. (more)Gavin Beattie

Memorable parts? Our individualized tour included very well-informed guides who were also kind and interesting. There were two of us on our tour of Kazan (where my relatives once in lived), Moscow and St. Petersburg. Both of us are semi-handicapped and each tour and transfer took into consideration our capabilities, needs, and as well as our interests. I would recommend this agency without qualifications. Tips? Let the agency know about your interests, so they can design the kind... (more)Joanna Drzewieniecki

Memorable parts? Everything! Hard to choose! The vast number of endemic plants, unbelievable diversity of flora, diversity of birds, both the endemic and the widespread, the Southern Right Whales, the seals, the Mountain Cape Zebra, the Meerkat and the Black Wildebeest. That being said about wildlife, the South African people were incredibly warm, co-operative and knowledgeable. They love their beautiful country and are perfect hosts to their visitors. I met 5 different guides in 5 different... (more)Dina Aly

Memorable parts? I really liked the wildlife diversity that Tanzania Parks can offer. Especially in some areas, it was great to be able to be so close to the wild animals. Tips? I would have spent more time in Serengeti National Park, because of the vast area I believe I didn’t take the most of it…I stayed just one night. I would reccomend at least one night tented camp experience. Local benefits? Benefits to local people – Yes. Most of the camps use locals as employees. Reduced... (more)Luis Boavida

Memorable parts? We took horse riding lessons nearby. I am a wheelchair user, but the instructor/owner got me on the horse and was very encouraging and helpful teaching me beginners dressage. He really cares for his horses. We also went rowing in a nearby lake. It's a great outdoors/ activity area. Hotel owners Fiona and Gareth give 100 percent Tips? Be sure to rent a car. Unless you are planning a totally cycling vacation Local benefits? We ate out most evenings, and the fact... (more)Tony Mangan

Memorable parts? Without much advance notice, Giovanna Consonni worked with the staff at the restaurant (near Rapalano Terme) to prepare an outstanding anniversary evening! The chef and restaurant staff were superb! An event we will cherish forever! Tips? Personal drivers and small-group tours take away the stress of driving in a new country and learning a new language. Using local trains reduces cost and is environmentally friendly. Local benefits? The benefits were largely... (more)Daniel Pickering

The most exciting part of the vacation was the canyoning. (more)Vanessa Phillipson

The most memorable part of the vacation was meeting and getting to know people from different countries, and sharing experiences and meals with them. (more)Sheila Scott

So many lovely places, arriving at night with the tiny windows lit up, the smell of the air, exploring the village Seinya with it's fruit trees, vegetable patches and beautiful sand coloured buildings and village square and gentle village life, arriving in Besalu-wow, the most spectacular Medieval village, swimming in the lake at Banyoles, the landscape, seeing a wide boar, swimming in the river, visiting Girona-that first veiw of the old town lining the river, the cat family... the teenagers getting...

Too many memorable moments to say but special mentions to the safari lodges in South Africa. (more)Ian Rosenthal

We loved all of it, but seeing so many wild animals up close was wonderful. (more)Jill Mentch

Memorable parts? The large pond/small lake was perfect. Our children spent most of their waking time in the water, on the paddle board, in the boat or on the island. Some of us adults joined them ... but at the end of October, with no wetsuits, we mainly left it to them! It was heaven. We were able to sit nearby and talk, clutch hot drinks and laugh and take photos, without spoiling their fun. And all the while knowing there was a cosy house with woodburner lit, just a minute away. Tips? Book... (more)Helen Adshead

Memorable parts? Excellent throughout. We rode (mainly tolting and walking, but some cantering once the guide was certain of our riding ability) across varied terrain, which was wonderful, and each tried out several different ponies, selecting our favourite for riding on the last day. Our final day's riding ended with a magnificent gallop along a deserted beach, after crossing estuarine waters. Tips? Be honest about your riding ability. Don't pretend to be more experienced than... (more)Annette Musker

Memorable parts? Game reserve drives. Tips? Don't drive all the way from Hermanus to Outdshoorn - too boring and long. Local benefits? I hope so. Overall rating? Excellent and eclectic. (more)Lisa Doyle
