South East Asia Cultural, religious and historic sites Trips

Best explore trip ever, with best guide ever. The mix of activity and visits could not have been better balanced. Full on without being exhausting. I personally would have liked more time at the mountain museum but appreciate others might not. Our guide, Udaya, did his utmost to accommodate those that found the walking a challenge, (even though the trip notes clearly described what to expect). Udaya’s knowledge, enthusiasm and clear love of his country enhanced the trip, even on the long bus journeys there was regular commentary on what we were seeing and short stops of interest. He had concern for our welfare and even joined in with us in a hotel Christmas cake mixing competition after our trip had officially ended. This whole experience will take some beating.

Great trip from beginning to end. Everything was as per the itinerary and superbly led by our tour leader G with a special mention to our driver Shiv who’s driving skills on the crazy Indian roads ensured we reached our destinations safely.

A really busy programme with plenty of variety and so many moving parts. Everything worked seamlessly - multiple boat trips, meals out, etc expertly organised. A lot of bird watching opportunities!

An excellent and very full on trip (nov 25). Temperature was high teens / low twenties which allowed lots to be done... not sure the itinerary (especially exploring the Petra site) would have been as doable or as enjoyable in high summer.

Good trip, wonderful scenary. Really good infrastructure for walking in the trails. It should have been a walk at the Fiordland National Park (close to Wilford Sound) We just did a really small portion towards Marian Lake. It would have been different from the other trails that we did

The inclusion of the program gave me an objective opportunity to feel and immerse in the culture. Ashish, the leader of articulation, culture, was leading for the 2 weeks; consistency, energy; exceptional. Ashish, enlivened the energy of the tour group. The energy, stimulation, openness of the tour group and Ashish; crossing borders and boundaries in formed and open cultural beliefs; attitudes were electric to recharge, openness of seeing new perspectives. This tour was a 10 in awakening, exposure. In gratitude privileged for the opportunity.
