The UNESCO-listed walled, old city of Khiva, known as Ichon Qala, was the unexpected gem of this trip. Also, swimming in the man-made Lake Aidarkul in the middle of the Kyzylkum desert was a surprising and relaxing pleasure.

Visiting the silk road cities of Samarkand, Khiva and Bukhara and having time to wander in each place and admire the reconstructed buildings.

Brilliant - so many activities, lovely places to see, excellent food, and very reasonable, both the stay at hotel itself and all the local prices and activities. (more)Simon Saunders
The hotel is secluded, peaceful and comfortable and it seems to be very eco friendly without impacting on basics, so there is always water and power. The scenery is beautiful and we also did some lovely deserted walks. (more)Olivia Cox

Many highlights - the bike ride in Hoi An was spectacular as well as Halong bay overnight cruise and trip to the Mekong!... Insightful experience and wonderful adventure with like minded small group. (more)Merlene Nieuwoudt
It was an amazing experience and a vacation too. We fell in love with Costa Rica, its people, food, and wildlife. Tortuguero was amazing and we got up really close to a sloth. The 13 zip lines were exhilarating and the monkeys, iguanas and beach at Manuel Antonio were all high points. Too many high points really!

Excellent. A very different place to the UK. It was lovely to walk in the tropical forest and see the massive trees as well as spot the local animals although a bit too focused on the birds for those of us who were not 'bird watchers'. Great to meet local people on the chocolate and coffee plantations we visited. The accommodation was excellent and clean. (more)Stella Jales

Getting to hike in the alps in 3 countries and seeing the wonderful landscapes was memorable. (more)Alfredo Ancog
The combination of varied geography (coats, mountains, deserts), welcoming culture, history, and the views. Excellent. When our flight from Khasab to Muscat was cancelled at the last minute (the incoming flight had to return to Muscat), we were initially left stranded at Khasab airport with nowhere to stay, and the prospect of our plans for Muscat being impacted. The local operator tried to be helpful, but when I called host company and left a message (on Saturday afternoon), Jim [the ... (more)David Nussbaum
