A great walking holiday in a fantastic part of the work with great food!
Most inspirational aspect of the holiay was just how much walking we did during the week. Looking back it feels like I've been away for much longer.
Very experienced, patient.
There is alot of stairs!!!
A fantastic experience, and a great way to see the country…and what a fascinating place!
I'm not the best cyclist in the world, far from it. So I think, for me, I achieved a lot of cycling...which was very inspirational because I wanted to do more.
The group leader was fab! He certainly knew his stuff and was like a walk in encyclopaedia to Cuba!
Keep your eyes on everything! The roads can be quite uneven! Bring lots of antihistamines...the mosquitos certainly get ya! When you're cycling, all you need is a camera and a little bit of sun cream on you, you can leave your day pack on the coach because the coach is always with you. So just a little bum bag is sufficient. Museli bars....I brought some with me which were great for a little snack. You do get lots of fruit and snacks when you stop but I found a muesli bar a day gave me a bit more energy!
Really good trip, well organised, guides were well informed, porters extremely helpful and we were really lucky with the group of people. Trekking was very demanding and normal altitude problems (headaches, loss of appetite) but no more than expected and no complaining by the group. Scenery was great, not much animal or bird life to mention but Inca ruins were stunning. Machu Picchu surpassed all expectations.
Macchu Picchu surpassed all expectations. I could have spent much longer there.
Our group leader (Flamina) and the assistant leader (David) were excellent. Knowlegeable not just about Inca history and artefacts but also the local flora and other subjects. I was also impressed by the cooks and the porters. I couldn't do justice to the food, one of the effects of altitude is loss of appetite, but in very restricted conditions the cooks produced wholesome food which with limited tableware they made a real effort to present well.
The Inca Trail is physically very demanding, possibly the most demanding activity some peaople will ever do. The camping and toilet facilities are also basic. If you are prepared to accept a little (possibly a lot) of discomfort this is a very rewarding holiday.
This was an excellent trip for hikers who do not have 2 weeks to do the complete Tour de Mont Blanc. The mountain views were fantastic. The food was hearty home cooking.
Seeing France, Switzerland, and Italy at the same time from a mountain top.
Oliver was a great guide who had excellent knowledge of the history and culture of the region. I was very safety conscious and did a good job arranging for evacuation of a member of our party who became ill at a mountain top. His jokes received mixed reviews but overall he was great in setting a positive mood to the trip.
Trekking poles are essential.
It wasn’t a particularly relaxing holiday but it was well worth all of the early starts and hours spent travelling as we had a wonderful time.
Some of our highlights included seeing the massive seal colony at Cape Cross, walking to Deadvlei (hard going but beautiful), arriving at Etosha and spending hours and hours sitting at a waterhole watching many animals come and go.
Our guide was fantastic. He was friendly, helpful, informative and well-organised and really couldn't have done anything more for us.
My advice for potential travellers would be to expect to spend a lot of time covered in sand and to bring warm clothes, a very warm sleeping bag (if travelling in Winter) and a (head) torch.
A very enjoyable week in a beautiful area of Tuscany, with very friendly group of fellow travellers.
The farmhouse is situated in a lovely location with great views across the valley. The walks are varied and challenging at times, especially in the heat of summer.
Reaching the summit of Pania del Croce with the wonderful views from the ridge. Braccorti itself, do not think I would ever tire of the view from the pool. Lucca is also well worth a visit on the free day.
Liz was a really great leader, calm, professional, friendly, helpful and encouraging.
Walking poles are essential.
From the minute I arrived in Tanzania, I felt looked after. The hotel stay was brilliant, the guides were awesome, the porters were fantastic, the food was amazing and reaching the summit was the cherry on the icing on the cake! I enjoyed every moment of this trip, it was well organised, with great communication and a fabulous support team! This was an unforgettable trip!
There are so many parts of my trip that left me feeling inspired and humbled. The work of the porters to completely look after you and support you, the commitment of the guides to keep you safe and get you to the summit, the cooking on a mountain in Africa. The views and sunsets. The people of Africa. I loved it all and feel inspired by the whole trip.
Our group leader Makeke, was friendly, committed, knowledgeable, thorough and hardworking. He had an omnipresent ability, always there to support but never in your way or in your face. Just always there if you needed him. I will never forget his efforts to get us to the top of Africa, and the emotions he showed when we made it down too! A very nice man who worked very hard for the whole group.
Travel lightBe as fit as you can be, do some long long walksHave a good sleeping mat and bagMake sure your walking boots are v comfortable and well wornTake lots of baby wipesTake lots of small notes in your currencyKeep a positive mental attitude
This is a superb trip. We read all of the reviews on it before booking and they say it all. We’re going to do another similar one next year.
So much of it. Seeing so many locals running out of their houses to greet us every mile of the way. We didn't see another westerner for 12 days. The food was varied, mostly good and fun. WE SAW A TIGER!!! Our guides didn't come on the safari and were dead jealous when we got back as they had never seen one. You really get to see India and its cultures...cycling around little back lanes with music piping out from churches & mosques. Held a snake. Stopped at lots of little 'coffee shops' (not exactly Costa Coffee so don't expect it) where we sat around with locals. Without exception every person we encountered was friendly and happy to see us.
Safi, Joe and Shebu were the key to the success of this tour. After day one they were like family...friendly, helpful, encouraging, sympathetic, empathetic, funny, the list could go on for ever. The quality of these guys can not be understated in their quest to make this a wonderful experience for us all.
We all got saddle sore (still take a gell saddle though) but after the first 2 km each day you just forgot about it. We also had varying degrees of stomach problems but again everyone just accepted it was part of India and it didn't really spoil the fun at all. Ours was the first trip in August and the weather was ideal for biking. Mostly around 30 degrees and occasional rain to cool you and have fun cycling through.The 14 of us in our group was made up of some late 20s, 30s, 40s and us 2 in our mid 50s. Although we are not cyclists and struggled on days 1 and 4, everyone was great and each had their day of triumph. It was not a race and it was not an ordeal...we walked (with 2 others) up Ooty Hill as we couldn't cycle it. The bikes went on the van. It took us 4 hours but it was okay and we were cheered when we got to the top.
Overall the trip was brilliant – people within the group within group well I could not of picked a better group!
Climbing to a height that really challenged me and my fear - then having support from previously strangers. Really reminds you how many lovely people in the world. The many laughsUsing public toilets
got better as time went on had a good sence of humour - very supportive
universal packing list not that helpful, get fit, think about independant flights to say long travelling times - that don't help that first day of walking.2 walking poleson, , take every oppotunity on offerTry c
The scenery was wonderful (although not a patch on the Pembrokeshire coastline). The walking was challenging and ultimately offered spectacular views, however in the August heat was not always enjoyable. The days where we were not walking were interesting.
On the boat trip on the last day, you get to see from a distance exactly how far you have walked and climbed over the week, that was a satisfying moment. The village where the hotel is based was a highlight of the trip. There aren't really tourists there, just a working village where every garden is fully utilised for growing vegetables and fruit or housing animals. It is wonderful place to spend an afternoon wandering around. You'll also find possibly the best espresso's in Italy there too.
Excellent. Very thorough and attentive.
The walking on this holiday is not moderate. I would recommend some incline training before hand for anyone who does not hike regularly.I went in August, it was incredibly hot. The walking is challenging enough without having to climb in 32 degree heat. Many in the group became hot and sweaty very quickly. This was really uncomfortable at times. I would advise going at a different time.Bug spray is essential for the evenings. The roads to the village and Amalfi are long and windy. If you are someone who suffers from motion sickness, ensure that you take appropriate pills with you.
