What people say about us
In the words of people who have travelled with us: genuine ratings and comments, published after verification. You can filter them by trip and by number of stars.
The wildlife was outstanding: lions, elephants and a long afternoon watching a herd cross the plain. Our local guide knew exactly where to look and was never in a hurry. Zanzibar was a relaxing end to the trip. I take one star off because the very early starts and long drives on bumpy roads are tiring, and at one lodge the wifi hardly worked. Honest advice: be ready for dust and for very early alarm calls.
The Pyramids of Giza in the morning, a felucca at sunset on the Nile and the Hypostyle Hall at Karnak are moments I will remember. The ship was clean and the staff welcoming. I take off one star because the programme is very full, with several wake-ups before dawn, such as for Abu Simbel, and at the monuments you need patience with the street sellers. It is worth every effort, though.
Ha Long Bay in the morning light from a traditional wooden junk and the lanterns of Hoi An reflected in the river were magical. Angkor Wat at sunrise takes your breath away, but expect crowds: you need patience and a plan for the photos. Ta Prohm, with its roots swallowing the stones, was my favourite. One star less for the crush at sunrise and two long transfer days, but the coordinator kept spirits high.
Vietnam and Cambodia: from Hanoi to Angkor
We went in early November and the colours in Kyoto were only just beginning, which we had been told beforehand, so it was no surprise. The temples and gardens were beautiful anyway, and in Tokyo we loved the evening alleys lit by lanterns. Organisation was flawless and the trains ran to the minute. My only remark: the programme is very full, and I would have liked one more free day.
