West Africa Tours in December 2025

I genuinely enjoyed my trip! I joined the group later on for the hiking part. It was well organised, our ceo Ricky has a true passion for his hometown Sabah and also south east Asia. Honestly after seeing the groups photos and activities I wished I did Sabah also! It looked amazing!

This is not my first time in Vietnam but it's the first time I've ever traveled with an agency and the service provided was unmatched! The landscapes were so breathtaking that I could capture beautiful photos with just a casual snap. The tour agenda was well-planned, allowing ample time for sightseeing, dining, and relaxation. Our tour guide was friendly and enthusiastic, always ready to answer our questions. Overall, my experience with this travel agency was exceptional, and I highly recommend their services.

Cycling tour was very short on distances, I thought we could have done more each day without impacting on the itinerary of the visits to places of interest. Some days I thought that the cycling was done just to fill in gaps

I really enjoyed this trip and seeing some more of India. Highlights include the Taj Mahal, Varanasi, Shimla and temple at Amritsar. I travelled with a really nice group and the tour leader made sure we were perfectly looked after. The food was good. Warm clothes are needed for Shimla in the winter months. I would highly recommend the trip.

ACCOMODATION SOBEK STONE HOUSE Very comfortable, warm & cosy for the colder winter months. Indoor pool, variable temperature but ideal for a relaxing dip or short lengths after a long day. Bar & restaurant good for snacks & drinks. Staff extremely efficient & courteous. Location perfect for access to town without the noise & hubbub. Noisy dogs are part of the course in this area. Great view of balloons from terrace. ITINERARY Walks are all not too demanding, meaning you can concentrate on the scenery & there's bags of that. Variety from rock formations to interesting towns & slot canyons. Highlights are the Fairy Chimneys & the Petra-esque churches and houses hacked out of the rocks. Expect some challenges in the way of mud, water & sheepy smells. It's all part of the experience. GROUP Probably the best one yet, in quite a few years of using Explore. Not a diva in sight & no arguments or schisms which can occur after a few days together. Interesting people doth maketh for a better-eth tour-eth. TOUR LEADER Alkan was brilliant, went the extra mile and then some, to keep us all happy. I took a few photos & was always way behind, but he coped with all our foibles easily. Lots of knowledge without overkill. Loved his daily briefs on a range of eclectic topics. BALLOONS I booked before arriving but then the flights were cancelled for the next 6 days. The company refunded the cost with no problem. I then joined the group for the one arranged by the tour leader. We took off on the last day. It is a spectacle & worth every penny. Ours was Eur 170 paying by card, cheaper by cash.

I love, love, love New Zealand. This was one of my favorite GAdventures trip. Seeing New Zealand, with all the multi-sport activities, felt exciting and invigorating. I successfully did a couple of activities that were outside of my comfort zone. I didn?t want the trip to end. Eamonn Grant, as our CEO, was one of the best parts of the trip! How can I select my next GAdventures trip to be lead by Eamonn?
