1. We very much enjoyed our trip and met great people on our guided tour. The combination of sea kayaking/biking/hiking/diving etc really suited our penchant for activity holidays. The hotels were basic but absolutely fine, the food great and the Island to Island transfers exciting. You cannot help being impressed by the wildlife in the Galapagos Islands. We combined it with a visit to Quito where we did an awesome mountain bike ride down the slopes of Cotopaxi, then managed to climb the same mountain over the next 2 days - 19,000 feet! I would thoroughly recommend this holiday as organised by Tourdust! That's our second great trip with this company.

2. My wife, Lindsay and I have recently returned from a great trip to Milos which is one of the Cyclades group of Greek islands in the Aegean Sea. This was a 5 day camping trip circumnavigating the island, a trip of about 120 km. The trip was very well organised with good, up to date kit and was supervised by a very competent guide. The island is absolutely fascinating with a huge number of caves, arches, inlets, lovely sandy beaches and a unique and very varied geology. The weather was, as to be expected, uniformly sunny and warm which made camping a delight. This is a reasonably cheap holiday (about £400) + travel to Milos. The price includes staying at a Taverna (B&B) for one night at each end of the trip and hire of all kayaking kit. You need to take most of your own camping gear and it is self catering with (in our case), each couple preparing the food on one night of the trip. (There were 8 of us) We had a fantastic time and I can really recommend this as an escape from the current Scottish weather!!
