New Zealand tailormade holiday
We have just got back from a fantastic holiday in New Zealand. We really valued the knowledge that Ian had and advice he was able to give in relation to planning our trip. It was great having all our accomodation pre-booked (mainly en-suite hostels, but also some rather nice lodges). The tours that we booked through Ian were all of a very high standard and thoroughly enjoyable. Ian provided us with a detailed itinery (including suggestions of other activities & places to visit) - this was invaluable. We also appreciated and used the back-up in New Zealand when we wanted to make some changes to our itinerary.

Morocco running holiday

Just wanted to thank you and everyone involved from the Morocco Trek side and especially the guide Mohamed for a great experience. Even before I got to the running camp I appreciate the help that you and others made in terms of organisation and logistics. This helped me relax into the trip.

I had a great time in Agouti and am more than happy with the running and the time spent in the mountains. I feel an extra confidence now with the races ahead for this summer as a result. Going into making it such a successful camp was the friendliness of the people in the gite, the advice and companionship of Mohamed the guide, good food and a great environment. The only thing that I could think of as a downside is that the potential for trekking with the same people in the same mountains was so enticing that I sometimes thought that if it was not for the upcoming races I booked the wrong holiday and should have taken a trekking trip with you instead - I guess that there is always other years and Mohamed tells me that the summer months are better.

I had a great time in Marrakech and loved the Riads that were used for accommodation. They were an oasis of calm compared to the souks and allowed me to recharge and better enjoy the holiday and the rest of Marrakech.

New Zealand self-drive holiday and Overlander scenic train journey
Thank you Ian at Strides who rang me back promptly when I emailed him for travel help in New Zealand. He suggested and followed through with some great ideas and also helped make some late changes to our itinerary. Best of all that railway trip Auckland down to Wellington on the Overlander. Brilliant backpacker lodge in Pahia - Saltwater Lodge.
