Japan is a fascinating country
Japan is a fascinating country, and it was particularly nice to be able to explore on foot, walking through beautiful unspoiled rural areas. I very much enjoyed immersing myself in Japanese culture, sleeping on futons and bathing in outdoor hot spring baths. Experiencing train travel was another bonus, especially negotiating the Tokyo underground at rush hour, thankfully led by our wonderful Japanese guide.
Silk Road to Samarkand
Well-planned trip and well-organised. Helpful local staff.
Excellent guide in Mongolia
What we liked was that you use local people with their specialised knowledge and love of their country so we experience a more in-depth view of a place and its people. It was such a relaxing holiday because from the very beginning we had complete confidence in both our driver and tour guide. It was refreshing that they both ate and shared meals with us and we were able to treat and call each other friends. It was an excellent trip!!
Mongolian Wilderness Trek
Transport worked well, leader was knowledgeable and food was good. Route was good with a feeling of remoteness.
Genghis Khan Trails
A good adventure trip. Good small group size and great customer service.
Whole experience was truly lovely
This trip has many highlights but it's the little things that stay in my memory. I really loved the homestay at the little village of Sintaung, the family were so welcoming, the food was delicious and the whole experience was truly lovely.

Enjoyable trek in Mongolia
This was an amazing trek and we thoroughly enjoyed it, particularly the opportunity to meet nomads in the remote areas and partake in their hospitality. The guide in Ulaanbaatar was excellent.
Definitive Cultural Tour of Tibet
A really well thought out itinerary - good choice of monasteries and a stunning drive back to Lhasa on the final day.
Our guide was excellent
We cannot praise Veronica enough for her professionalism and attention to detail regarding her clients' comfort and needs, she also made us amazing lunches.
Beautiful walks
We met very interesting people and all got on well together. The walking, although difficult, was beautiful. Our guide Veronica was excellent and made our trip.
Excellent guide
The trip was extremely well organised by Alessandro whose extensive range of local contacts made all the difference. He was a very knowledgeable and comparable guide and we cant' speak too highly of him.
Great Wall of China
What we enjoyed was walking on remote sections of the wall that is not crowded with tourists.
Definitive Cultural Tour of Bhutan
Bhutan is a fascinating country; warm, friendly and undemanding people, magnificent scenery and cultural heritage coupled with a calm and relaxing ambience.
Amazing holiday in Mongolia
It was an amazing holiday and we enjoyed every minute of it. It was made even more special as our guide and driver were such lovely people. Having travelled with your company many times we know we can rely on you to give us the best possible experience on our holidays.
Markha Valley Trek
Personal service when we emailed or phoned. Efficient pick-ups etc. during the trip. No compromises on quality.
Excellent service
It is evident how much work has been done to team up with local operators who are able to deliver the quality and blend of daily activity that combine major sites with equally important ones which are off-the-beaten-track. The hotels are good quality, without being luxurious and food generally was better than expected. Transport arrangements were all excellent, as was support from your head office team.
Excellent, knowledgeable guide
Office staff organised when we liaised with them. Kevin O'Neale was an excellent guide and the package was amazing in terms of the mountains we summited and mountain huts we stayed in. Kevin's agenda and efficiency for the week was superb and although we not did summit Mont Blanc due to the weather we did achieve three 4,000m+ summits. A truly memorable and awesome week - our thanks to Kev and to Mountain Kingdoms for employing his services.
Enjoyable holiday with friendly people
We much enjoyed our holiday in Cambodia and were delighted to meet so many happy, friendly people along the way. The temples were astounding, the Killing Fields were chilling, the countryside was lovely and filled with so many interesting sights and photographic opportunities - overall Cambodia was a delight to visit, and our guides were wonderful.
Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage Trek
Staying in Ryokan, Minshuku and Temples was a definite plus as it enabled us to experience the traditional side of Japan.
