It was excellent! Thanks to the tour operator who is well-organized and didn’t miss a beat anywhere! They paired us with wonderful guides (Ahmed Hallel in Cairo) and all arrangements were made well and accessible throughout, and if not accessible, arrangements were made alternatively. We thoroughly enjoyed the journey and think it was well priced.read more

Our Peloponnese trip was truly magical (though only a fraction of our entire ‘Greek Odyssey’). Our lovely tour operator, Anthi, was always available to assist when difficulties arose; our shared driver was charismatic, knowledgeable and obliging, and the itinerary had enough flexibility and free time to allow additional experiences at short notice.read more

Ethiopia is a stunningly beautiful country. One imagines it to be dry and dusty but since it was the end of the rainy season everything was very green and very agricultural. I would recommend this trip for adventurous people who are not put off by travel advisories. Ethiopia desperately needs tourism so go...read more

It was one of the best holidays I've ever had. The group was very nice and our guide Patrick was just amazing. Always organised, friendly, good humoured and very funny. He was so helpful to everyone, we felt very well taken care of.read more

This holiday surpassed my expectations mainly due to the way that Angeliki at the tour operator produced a bespoke itinerary which allowed us to have a great experience at the additional sites that we wanted to visit. In addition Dimitris was always on hand to make sure that we wanted for nothing even going as far as selecting a local bakery and supermarket for our unique needs. His knowledge of his country, easy manner and good communication with the local guides made for a superb experience ...read more

This was an excellent trip. It covered all the major sites in Jordan, travelling from one end of the country to the other, without ever feeling too rushed. I highly recommend it to anyone even vaguely interested in the country.read more

Laconica is a hospitable and friendly place, the scenery on the tour is varied, the cycle routes are not too stretching, but enough to feel you've deserved some relaxation at the end of the day. It really is a great way to explore this part of the Peloponnese.read more

The holiday was first class with excellent hotels and facilities. Certainly warrants a five star endorsement. Our Greek contact Anthi was only an email or text away and always responded promptly. She took a great deal of time and trouble to organise the holiday we requested.read more

One of the best tours I have ever done! Sicily has many facets: a long very interesting history, wonderful archaeology sites and excellent museums, great scenery and coastlines, memorable excellent cuisine with the freshest locally grown ingredients, and it’s not as expensive as many other places in Europe. read more
Kim Chai3 Jun 2025
Gosh, so many over 2 weeks ... in no particular order: Tunisia's multi-layered Amazigh-Punic-Roman-Byzantine-Ottoman-French history, the otherworldly Amazigh/Berber ksours (no wonder they were used as Star Wars locations), wandering the atmospheric medinas, Kairouan, Zaghouan & Sidi Bou Said's photogenic blue & white architecture, El Jem coliseum, El Ghriba synagogue, vastness of Sahara & Chott El Jerid, learning about date palms and ingenious irrigation system in Tozeur & oases, olive ...read more

The itinerary, guide and driver were all excellent. The sites matched, and often far exceeded expectations. The hotels were nearly all of a very high standard. We had some fantastic places virtually [and sometimes literally] to ourselves.read more

I had lived in Cairo as a child, so it was special to return after so many years to enjoy its history. Cairo is an overwhelming city and having a private guide and driver was well-worth the money. read more
