Good choice of activities
Everything about the cruise was fantastic. Each day presented a new experience with a variety of activities on offer. Both guides were very good at explaining what would be happening and their insight into the islands and wildlife made each trip a worthwhile experience.

Inspiring
What a fabulous trip! This holiday offers one of the most inspiring and varied experiences of any of Mountain KingdomsÕ many trips. One day you are climbing the slopes of a snow capped volcano in the high Andes or wandering the colonial streets of Quito and staying in great lodges and hotels, while the next you marvel at the stunning wildlife of the Galapagos Islands, have close encounters with unique birds such as the Blue Footed Booby, meet ancient tortoises and walk through enormous colonies of sea lions, with opportunities to swim with penguins or snorkel amongst exotic fish, all from the comfort of your own high quality yacht.
The trip was well-organised, we had a small group and personal service. The food during the trek was the best ever! The cook deserves a medal.

A trip to remember
This tour gave a great insight into Vietnam, with beautiful food, culture and scenery it was a trip to remember. Ha Long Bay was a definite highlight for me, the crew were fantastic and always helpful. I was able to immerse myself in the peacefulness of Trang An and explore the treasures of Hanoi.

Welcoming culture
Vietnam has jumped to the top of my list of favourite destinations within Southeast Asia. The Vietnamese are warm and welcoming, the landscapes are stunning, and the walking is culturally diverse. I cannot wait to return to this incredible country.

Ultimate trekking experience
In the summer of 2015 we organised an expedition to the peak of Chachacomani for Eton College. It was a resounding success, 15 students and 2 teachers summited Chachacomani. Eton College were so impressed with the itinerary that they urged us to include it in our brochure for 2016. We thoroughly recommend this trek and climb as being one of the best trekking peaks in Bolivia.
This trek was one of the most interesting, varied and challenging that I have experienced. A trek worth doing in a country worth visiting - before the glaciers recede even further.
The trek cook was brilliant; the holiday was a really good trip with good quality hotels and accommodation.

Blown away
I was blown away by the beauty and variety of the Atacama Desert, its canyons, wildlife and plants. It really was not what I expected when I thought 'desert'. This trip explores many hidden gems together with an easy ascent of a 5,600m volcano with fabulous views.

Value for money
As with all previous trips, an excellent holiday. Well thought out and in my opinion, excellent value for money for what was provided. Also very welcome is the opportunity to get beyond the usual tourist sites, and the chance to get to know a country.
Overall the trip was excellent and lived up to our expectations. The boat trips were a highlight. Stopping off in the local villages, mixing with the local people and children was also very good.

Good accommodation
All the hotels we stayed in were good or excellent and some were delightful - I could imagine some travel companies compromising in this area. The research you have done into this trip showed in the way it picked up all the best features and allowed the appropriate amount time for each. Also, the timing was good, just after the rainy season, with plenty of water in the rivers.
