Memorable parts?
Seeing the wild bison
Tips?
Be willing to be sociable and make the most of the opportunities to see the wildlife, even if it means getting up very early. Be respectful of the rules and the rest of the group and follow the clothing rules (as some of our group did not do!)

Yes. It was nice to have a small group and get to know the local guides who were personable and extremely knowledgeable.
Overall rating?
Great, although I would... (more)Sarah Bascombe

100 out of 100...The program is well balanced between activities and the lazy camping days (more)Lolita Bizune
Going over the sand dunes and staying in gers or in tents in what seemed to be in the middle of nowhere and then a herd of goats and sheep comes along.
(more)Josephine Tanti
Climbing the 'Singing Sand Dunes' (Khongoryn Els) at sunset was amazing! It was a big effort to make it to the top, but we were rewarded with once-in-a lifetime views over the vast sand dunes and Gobi Desert while mother nature turned on a spectacular pink and purple hue. (more)Lynette Smith
From
US $2,500

The landscapes of Mongolia and the night sky. (more)Judith Petrie
Excellent. Very well organised. Guides knew their stuff and were always helpful and cheerful. It was a tremendous experience and I would love to go again - maybe to a different part of this huge and empty country. (more)Theresa Partington

The wonderful variety of wildlife and the magnificent beauty of the Namib desert (more)Clare Price
Truly excellent! There was a good mixed group of people, but overall our guides, Jeff & Tawanda, really made the trip as good as it was. They worked hard,
were up first, and to bed last. Always cheerful and smiling, full of information about the regions we were traveling through, the animals and people. (more)Danila Mansfield
Worthwhile. I will go again, perhaps to a different location at a different time of the year to complete my sightings of the Big 5. (more)William Green

Amazing and relaxing. Thank you to Simon and Ewan for 2 amazing tours: beaver and moose. We saw a lot of wildlife and 3 beavers and 11 moose including 3 large males. (more)Liz Adams
From
£1,300
excluding flights
We saw places we never would have thought of on our own and everywhere we stayed was either a great hotel or in a beautiful setting or, most often, both. (more)Jane Colman
The most memorable was snorkelling in Silfra and exploring Reynisfjara Beach. We got really lucky and had 100% sunshine and 0 precipitation the entire 45 days we were there. (more)Charles Ross
It didn't get off to a great start but overall it would have to have been one of the best vacations my wife and I spent together. It was a trip of a lifetime and we will
cherish the memories forever. (more)Scot Skellham
From
€1,190

The trip to the wilderness cabin was great fun. Really enjoyable to be able to spend the night out there. Chopping wood, fetching water from the well and a
traditional wood-fired sauna were all part of the fun. It was a fantastic week. Our guide, Janne, was great. He went the extra mile to adjust things to suit the mix of people on the tour and local conditions. (more)Christopher Lynch
It's hard to choose one memorable moment - I had a lovely time with the small team of ladies and the hospitality from our guide Mika, and our chef Harri was phenomenal! All the activities were great, and the food was delicious. (more)Nita Losoponkul

From
US $8,400
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Seeing the ribbon seals, the northern right whale and the spoonbill sandpiper.
Tips?
Be prepared for lots of walking on the tundra. Also understand that the ship does not have stabilizers so even a mild swell rocks the ship. Bring a good layering system as temperatures and ice conditions can vary greatly.
Local benefits?
Supported conservation and the spoonbill sandpiper project. I suppose that we provided some income for the people in the towns in which... (more)Marian Herz
From

Bronze ages and of course, visiting the Eagle festival.
Tips?
If booking the September trips, bring a lot of warm clothes. Double what you think you might need. Bring some small gifts for visiting local families.

It was amazing expedition through central highlands of Iceland impossible to access for most of year. Landscape of infinite variety and tiny alpine plants to
take your breath away. (more)Moira Izzard
From
US $2,349
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Hiking the Iceline trail in Yoho National Park. Seeing grizzly and black bears by the roadside.
Tips?
The pace of this vacation is a bit frenetic and there was very little 'down time'. Days started early and every minute was taken up with hiking, cooking for the group (of 16 in our case) and washing up, putting up or taking down tents and
traveling between destinations, but, despite the hard work, it was one of the best vacations I've ever had. Truly fabulous group... (more)Christabel Owens
From
£1,999
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
The cold that first night. The sandstorm. Racing across the desert at 100 km/h. The Nouakchott fish market.
Tips?

Local benefits?
Local people definitely benefited from our spending on hotels, restaurants & souvenirs.
Overall rating?
A couple of hiccups which were to be expected; otherwise FABULOUS. (more)Richard Hicks
From
US $4,298
including domestic flights only
Memorable parts?
Kayaking around the icebergs in Ilulissat and seeing the humpback whales breach.
Tips?
I would highly recommend the kayaking trip if you are reasonably fit and flexible. I did it as a 70th birthday gift to myself and loved every minute of it.
Local benefits?
Definitely all of the above.

The landscape and sea life was memorable. (more)Lynda Whitcombe
Wow this is really hard to answer because honestly (and I do not tend to exagerate) this was the most amazing vacation we ever had. We were blown away every single day by the beauty of Iceland, the raw nature, constant changing scenery and wildlife. (more)Ariella Schaerer
The outstanding scenery and unique landscapes which greet you at every turn. Whale watching was possibly the most exciting especially as it was on the last but one day of their season. The Humpbacks, Minkes and white nosed dolphins put on quite an active display for us. (more)Wendy Meade
From
US $510
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
The absolute highlight was the private Salkantay trek. We loved the trekking through the beautiful mountain landscape far away from the crowds, with absolutely amazing crew of the local agency: our great guide Elvis who strived to provide us with the real Andean hiking experience, and our fabulous cook Cezar who spoiled us with fantastic 3-course vegetarian meals!
Tips?
Our trip was tailor-made; for such a trip it's important to list your 'must see' places but also... (more)Agnieszka Opalska
From
£1,330

Memorable parts?
All of it.
Tips?
Hotel information was not as good as it could have been. Many of the hotels did not do food and that could have created a problem over xmas & new year. Also some did not take credit cards.
Local benefits?
Yes.
Overall rating?
Excellent.

From
US $3,025

Local benefits?
Yes, we fee that we benefit local people because they are meeting different cultures too and share their experiences
Overall rating?
Exiting tour, without many facilities but living the real life. We love this tour. We have... (more)Raquel Diaz

From
US $3,125
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Seeing Komodo dragons, manta rays and turtles in the wild, visiting local villages in Flores, particularly Wae Rebo which is only accessible after a 10k hike.
Tips?
1. Going out of season isn't a bad idea. We went in late October/early November and it was great as there were less tourists around. Although it's the start of rainy season, it didn't impede our trip at all. I imagine some places (such as Komodo/Rinca islands) are crazy in peak season.
2. Check the best... (more)Mariam Conway
