  • 'This was my first holiday with you, to Bali and the first time I travelled overseas without a friend/partner. The destination, resort, co-ordinators and people were fantastic. I had a fun and memorable holiday, meet a great group of people (who I will keep in contact) and look forward to going on another one soon.'

  • This was my first time in Bali and I had a great time. The Padma Resort is outstanding. The rooms, grounds, pools, food etc were all terrific. I didn't expect to enjoy the white water rafting but it was a highlight. The group were easy to get along with. I'll go again.

  • 'One of the best holidays I have ever had. Never really wanted to go to Bali but thought I would dip my toe in a solo traveler's holiday and found I didn't want to leave.'

  • 'The people, the country, the fun we had as a group. Halong Bay - scenery/caves and our overnight junk was excellent! Sapa - countryside, village and market visit was fantastic! The Golden Sand Resort at Hoi An was very nice & the old quarter at Hoi An very interesting, Mekong Delta was good..............I guess nearly ALL of it was a highlight!'

  • 'The Vietnam/Cambodia tour in April 2014 was fantastic with a great group of travellers, superb hotels and accommodation, and exciting activities such as cycling out of the cities, kayaking in Hailong Bay, and overnight train to the mountains of Sa Pa. The guide was fantastic and food was excellent.'

  • 'The trip was for 45 to 65 age. I am a little more than that but was pleased to be included. Having only 12 in the group made it a good size. Our guide was terrific as were the 6 ladies & 5 other gents. I will cherish the friendships & remember the trip as something special in my life.'
