Ivan Ho | Traveled in October
From the moment our guide ( Helio da Costa ) introduced himself we knew we were on the right tour. Each destination was filled with little tit bits & on occasions little treats from Helio. Our driver (Fabio) gave us the best possible ride, with no-one feeling travel sickness. We certainly found roads that would have changed this but his smooth driving left us in awe. Very much appreciated by everyone.

Ireland is a beautiful country to visit, our tour leader, Carolyn, was absolutely amazing. Nothing was a problem for her. She was very informative and knowledgeable. Our coach driver, John, was professional in every aspect of the tour. He was also very knowledgeable & helpful too.

Fascinating and varied tour. Certainly needed the 2 days in Petra to fully appreciate this amazing site. Our desert stay provided one of the best meals of the holiday cooked under sand and great view of stars. Ending the tour with snorkelling and the Dead Sea made a relaxing end to the trip. Highly recommend!

Disappointed that the weather didn't cooperate to go to the Orkney Isles, but loved being at Ballachulish and Castletown away from the big cities. Wished lunch stops were longer for eating and shopping the towns. Could have stayed all day at Dunrobin Castle as I enjoyed touring on my own, but didn't have time to cover all of it.
