Top care on Kili
We were cared for very well by all the guides and porters. The walk was through extraordinary vegetation and different zones as we gained height on Kilimanjaro.
Great variety of experiences in Sri Lanka
Great variety of places and experiences covered on the tour. From temples and ancient monuments to wildlife and snorkelling. Plenty of exercise too if wanted. Some steep climbs alongside the gentle walking. Lovely hotels - small and perfectly formed.
Zanskar Dream Trek - unlike any previous trek I've done
A truly unique experience, unlike any previous trek I've done. Remote, challenging, more like a mini expedition it certainly pushed me to my limits and perhaps a little beyond on occasions. The trek team were excellent, certainly the best I've ever had, and the scenery was just amazing. If you're looking for a challenge, don't mind some "exciting" paths and want some of the best mountain scenery around, this is the trek for you.
Spectacular Zanskar!
Spectacular mountain scenery.
A great trip in Uzbekistan
We were blown away by the fascinating sights in Khiva, Bukhara & Samarkand. The spectacles just got better and better as we progressed, the Registan being the jewel in the crown. The Uzbek dishes served in the city restaurants followed a set pattern but were varied, the salads being a particular hit. Spending time in the quiet mountain regions away from the bustle of the tourist sites was a welcome contrast. We loved the homestays in Nuratau, especially the creative home cooking. A great trip.
Incredible guides on Kilimanjaro
The scenery was fantastic throughout the different stages and with such vast blue skies. The guides and support crew were incredible, the encouragement and help we got from them made sure there was no doubting our abilities. From our morning cups of tea, our morning tea stops in some glorious location, to the delicious food that the cook prepared and the thoughtful hot water bottles at night - this was a well organised trek. The summit morning was so worth it. Thank you so much MK.
Tailor Made Silk Road Tour
The local organiser and the guides were excellent, and all travel plans ran smoothly.
An adventure in Ladakh
Not so much a holiday as an adventure, with stunning scenery and a few heart-stopping roads. Endlessly fascinating with mostly comfortable hotels and many lovely people. The sort of trip where you come back with stories to share, as well as photos.
Small group advantage in Ladakh
The drive up from Shimla to Leh was breathtaking in many ways - not only the amazing scenery but travelling along roads which were challenging after the monsoon rains had caused havoc with landslides and road surfaces washed away. Fortunately we had a brilliant driver in Suresh. Often our small group were the only people staying in hotels en route which made the tour seem very pioneering and adventurous. Being in a small group also allowed us to set our own pace and follow up on interests.
Kilimanjaro climb - Highly recommended!
I really liked: Impeccable service and support by the trek team, couldnt be faulted. I felt in safe hands at all times and was guided and looked after by a personal guide during the entire trip being by 20-25 years older than the other 4 ladies in my group...This was the hardest adventure ever undertaken. I wasnt sure Id make it but I returned home with just a minor cold. Highly recommended !
