So much more than just a tour! I know that myself and all the other girls really had our expectations exceeded well above and beyond! From start to end we were well taken care of, with every detail planned, clear communication from our tour guide and we felt really confident in what we were in for! The itinerary was excellent as we got a taste for both the luxurious side of Bali as well as a good appreciation for the culture and reality. It was beautiful seeing the temples, and receiving a lesson on the Balinese culture from a local tour guide. Throughout the tour we supported local guides and local businesses which not only helped provide to those smaller communities but for us to also gain a deeper appreciation for the culture. What made this whole experience special was our amazing tour guide Ovinda! She absolutely excelled in ensuring every single person was connected and enjoying the tour; she had everything organised, well planned and took us to the best local food places, bars and shops. Whatever we needed, she did her upmost to help us and even gave us some language lessons to keep us in touch with the locals! She truly was the best tour guide and made this trip so memorable!
We got so much more out of it than what we expected for such good value. Matt is a very intelligent, helpful, professional and diplomatic tour leader and we wish him well for any of his future plans. The coach driver Babios was superb as was the coach.
Great overview of New Zealand. , our tour guide really made the trip seamless. Knowledge, kind and considerate. The trip was well planned out and I enjoyed the ability to participate in extra activities during our down time outside of the tour.
The bus drivers and were terrific.
This trip is a great way to see the Greek islands in a group environment. Our group was nice and small which allowed us to have some great experiences that might not be possible in larger groups. There are some great included activities but also ample free time to see other experiences
I really enjoyed the trip but it was more intense than I thought it would be! Nice to have the different side of seeing the tourist activities as well as the hillside tribe villages. I really enjoyed the hike although it was more challenging than I was expecting from the description given!
I learned so much and saw so much more of Turkey. Way beyond just Ephesus.. our guide Attahan was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and did everything in his power to ensure a wonderful experience.
The Maldives is rightly known as a tropical paradise and attracts sun worshippers and luxury resort lovers from around the world. However, the Maldives is also fast becoming a great destination for thrill-seeking adventure and water based activities. These include incredible snorkelling and scuba diving, great surfing and windsurfing, sea kayaking safaris and much, much more.
Our Maldives Active Adventure tour takes you by sea plane from the cosmopolitan capital of Male to the local island of Gan and the surrounding atolls and islands in search of water bound adventures. Lammu atoll was also used as the location for the planet Scarif in the recent Star Wars Rogue One film. Activities included are snorkelling and scuba diving, whether that be an introductory dive or certified dive; a kayaking safari stopping at picturesque sandbars and deserted islands; exploring the local island by jeep and bicycle for a up close look at the local culture; and a try at stand up paddle boarding. There's also plenty of free time to add in more of the activities that you enjoy the most, as well as picnics and beach barbecues.

I chose this local travel operator for my holiday in Greece during this summer and I want to share my experience. We started our trip from Corfu and at the end we came back to Corfu. We saw in the meantime some great places at Paxoi and Antipaxoi. The colors of the sea were magical and the places were all green and beautiful. Captain Giorgos was a very nice person, and the crew was also hospitality and friendly with job experience. The rooms were clean and I also loved the food! There are many different choices to eat every day, and they are all really tasty! I will remember this week in all my life. Thank you very much!
Recommend this tour. Mini van with a driver and tour guide. The guide was so informative, a really lovely lady. Driver was on the ball - it was a couple of days into the trip he revealed he could understand english.
