We very much enjoyed the walk through the interesting and beautiful landscape of Galicia on the way to Santiago de Compostela. The combination of hiking and overnight stays in very pleasant and high Standard Hotels and Paradors left excellent memories on the Camino in our memories.
Get active in the Ionian Islands of Greece with the family on this fun multi-activity adventure. On board a two-masted wooden motor yacht, cruise the Ionian Islands along the west coast of Greece. From Corfu with its Venetian-style Old Town, the trip takes in the islands of Lefkas and Cephalonia. On Meganisi and Paxos, an island covered in olive trees and where time seems to have stood still, we gain an appreciation of traditional Greek island life. During the trip there is ample opportunity to explore the unique islands and coastal world by boat, kayak, bike and on foot. This family-friendly cruise offers flexibility with ample time for swimming, relaxing on the beach or on board, exploring sites and relaxing in tavernas. The level of activity each day is up to you. Our guide on board will offer advice and make suggestions and has plenty of knowledge about the fascinating history of Greece which they are always keen to share.
This is a wonderful walking/sailing holiday where you can see places in Turkey that you wouldn't see on a typical tour. It was amazing to be hiking and stumble across ancient ruins in many places -- and not see a single other person. I imagined that I was walking in the footsteps of Homer.
Good itinerary, skipper and sailing, port and swimming experience. Would not recommend doing it if on the Sauternes sailboat. Please resolve maintenance issues so it does not affect time, itinerary and feeling of safety. The focus of the trip should not be whether we can sail without problems with the vessel. Fuel, engine, smoke billowing from exhaust and leakage into cabins and hallways are not the type of experience I expect from G adventures.
It is not just the history and culture of Morocco that intrigues travelers. The country is also endowed with natural beauty and an amazing variety of terrain, which add to its appeal. Book this seven-day, private tour and explore the rich cultural and natural diversity that Morocco has to offer. Your journey starts on arrival in Casablanca from where we will drive you to Rabat. Continue to Meknes, Volubilis, Fez and Chefcouaen followed by the Atlas Mountains.
As part of this trip, you will also get the chance to learn more about the culture and lifestyle of Berber highlanders, enjoy a cooking class with an excellent Moroccan chef and relax in a hammam. Similarly, all your meals will be prepared with organic and natural produces.
We understand that there is more to wellness than meets the eye. Therefore, we have designed this itinerary with as much attention to spiritual enrichment as physical. Delve into sufism during a hiking trip in Mount Zerhoune and meet the musicians of Joujouka, known for their sufi trance performances
Since we want this trip to be ecologically friendly and sustainable in nature, we will prioritize reducing, reusing and recycling as much as possible. You will spend most of the nights in guesthouses and get plenty of opportunities to mingle with locals. For more details, please scroll down.
What an amazing Holliday we have had. Fresh back from a 6 day hiking holiday in Gran Canaria and absolutely buzzing from the experience.
Our group was mixed ability and Rosie and Ben were excellent at attending to the different needs of the group. Everything was so well planned, taking all of the hassle out and leaving us to thoroughly enjoy the breathtaking views and absorb the Canarian culture.
Rosie and Ben were fabulous guides and even more fabulous companions, giving us loads of laughs, lots of culture, a wealth of geological and botanical knowledge, and above all, a blossoming friendship.
It is honestly the best holiday I have ever had and I’m now planning another bespoke trip for my family with this tour operator. Can’t wait.
The Amalfi coast is gorgeous. If you like scenic views and delicious food, it's a must. Expect to get lots of steps in, as there are many opportunities for active travelers. Our CEO Shallal was the best guide, and even helped to coordinate an optional excursion to Capri (a must-see in my opinion) on a private boat. I came in a day early to hike up Mt. Vesuvius (not included, but I'd recommend if you have extra time before or after). A fun trip for this solo traveler!
Are you hungry for an adventure of a lifetime? If yes, then we have the perfect trip for you. Radically different from our normal tours, this eight-day, private trip will take you to the deserts and canyons of Morocco, where you will traverse a barren landscape composed of dunes, rugged hills, dry riverbeds and desert oases while spending nights in camps far away from civilization.
Start the journey from Marrakech and cover the Black Desert followed by the dunes of Ramlia and Ouzina. Explore the famous dunes of Merzouga in an off-road vehicle and travel past the Dades and Tinghir valleys. Your adventure comes to an end in Marrakech after you have visited the Todra canyons.
Accompanying you during this trip will be an experienced tour guide. Camels will be available in certain locations to ensure that you can continue the trip when you are tired walking. Items needed for camping, like food, sleeping bags, and tents, will be carried along and you will use local guesthouses for your evening shower. There is also an option to stay in hotels at some destinations.
Very well organised trip. Logistics were excellent, accommodation was comfortable and central to all amenities of the towns. Hike maps and notes were extremely detailed. I would highly recommend them and am considering another trip in the near future.
A self guided walk along the original Camino trail used by pilgrims walking to Santiago de Compostela. The pilgrim's trail to Santiago de Compostela is one of the great historical 'long distance footpaths' through Europe. According to legend, it all began in the 9th century when the bones of the apostle St James, beheaded in Palestine, miraculously appeared in a village in what is now Galicia. Word spread around the Christian world, reaching (among others) King Alfonso II of Asturias. He undertook the pilgrimage, travelling through dark woods and daunting mountains, from Oviedo to Lugo to Santiago and invited fellow kings and noblemen to follow in his footsteps. The 'original' route became very popular in the early Middle Ages when areas south of the Cantabrian mountains were continuously at war. Walked by millions of 'peregrinos' over the centuries, this self-guided walk reveals the beautiful natural settings, captivating historical monuments, gorgeous rural farmland and authentically friendly villages of northern Spain. Near Lugo, the 'Camino Primitivo' joins the more popular French route.
