Style Style Small Group Tour Small groups are usually defined as between 10 and 24 travelers, often less. If you're the kind of person who enjoys more intimate experiences and personal service this is a good choice. All else being equal you will pay a premium for this style vs a larger group tour.
Private Guided Private tours give you the undivided attention of a guide, and often involve special access to sites and unique experiences not available to larger groups. This is a great option for families, couples, and small friend groups. Expect to pay a bit more for the extra service.
Self Guided Tour A travel company plans your itinerary and arranges all the logistics including lodging, local activities, and transportantion. You have the flexibility of a solo trip while still getting the convience and time savings of expert planning. Get 90% of the benefits of a tour, without a guide.
Group Tour Groups are between 25-60 people, typically ~30-40. Usually there will be many opportunities to split off and enjoy meals and excursions in smaller groups. This is the most economical way to travel, saving up to 40% versus booking the same itinerary yourself.
River Cruise These vessels are smaller than most ocean cruisers, limiting which amenties are available. Passenger counts can vary. One of the biggest advantages of a river cruise is the ability to dock at smaller ports and local villages.
Small Ship Cruise Small ship cruises usually have a max passenger count of 500. The primary purpose of these trips is to spend time off the vessel in local ports (e.g. Mediterranean) or experiencing nature (e.g Galapagos or Antarctica). Cabins can vary from budget to luxury.
Large Ship Cruise This is the "floating city" experience, with multiple ways to enjoy your vacation aboard the ship as much as on land. Ships are multiple floors, provide several activities, culinary, and shopping options. They often make fewer stops and have less time available for shore excursions.
Retreats Similar to a self guided tour but staying in one location only with activities and day outings included as a part of the stay.

Duy, the tour leader was attentive, informative and the food we were given was fantastic.
So much so, that we will organise another night street food tour in Hoi An when we arrive there.

a totally wonderful tour with Tereza who was passionate about Prague s history and her knowledge in general was expansive and was relayed to us with character which made the whole day so enjoyable highly recommended. Prague itself is stunning but to have the added bonus of a place to eat where the locals go and knowledge about this incredible city was very much a bonus.
My wife & I came away thoroughly invigorated after our tour .. really good !

A good week in the foothills of the Carpathians. The hotel, the Vila Hermani,
was excellent. Even included 3 friendly hounds, one or two of which followed
us most days as "free agents." Not the most challenging snowshoe trip I've
been on, it'd be good for a newcomer to the sport. Wonderful scenery, good
snow, very remote + unspoiled territory. Our guide, Thomas, really knew every
path on the mountain!
High points -
1:visiting Bram Castle, a very fine piece of architecture.
2. The final day, up to a mountain hut in the snows. Helping un-ditch the
snowmobile a mile down the trail that got stuck carrying the resupply sledge.
3. 2 days up a very major gorge, 400' cliffs on either side! In England
that'd be festooned with climbers - there, there's so much of it nobody even
notices!


Thomas really does know every trail on the mountain.


Be fit. It's not the most strenuous snowshoe I've done, but deep, soft snow
and steep slopes are arduous.


It's excellent value, in the Villa Hermani the beer is only £1 a bottle, and
the local plum brandy (Tuica) you really have to try!

Wonderful snowy scenery in the forests. Expert guide (Thomas Oyntzen) with
great historical knowledge of the area. Great historical buildings built to
resist invasion from the Turkish empire. Very pretty mountain farming
villages built on very steep grazing land, which is very hard to farm. Great
wildlife to view. Very comfortable hotel with lovely food.
Seeing the wildlife: bears, chamoix, bats and the steep rocky mountain
scenery.


Thomas Oyntzen. Very helpful generally, particularly with snowshoeing and
knowledgeable about the local history and local routes to explore. Spoke very
good English and gave very detailed explanations of local history and the
peoples involved. Had obviously studied history to an academic level. There
was a lot to explain in this area, where there was often conflict between the
Austrian and Turkish empires and buildings like churches were often fortified
to resist invasion. There was a lot of interesting historical facts to learn
about a country, which was very different to Britain.


Come prepared for real deep snow and cold weather. A real Winter experience
in a completely different landscape to Britain.


Very interesting holiday offering good exercise in deep snow. Great natural
scenery.

We had never snowshoed before so were a bit apprehensive before the trip, but
our nerves quickly dissolved when we arrived. Villa Hermani was excellent,
with a strong focus on good quality local dishes and a wholesome experience.
The owners Hermann and Katharina are very hospitable and welcoming. We had
loads of fresh snow so the conditions for this snowshoeing trip couldn’t
have been better. The trip was more tiring than regular hiking, though still
was very enjoyable, and the mountain scenery was stunning. Snowshoes and
poles are provided; you just need to take a day pack for extra layers, yak
traks, lunch, snacks and a thermos of herbal tea.
Bran castle was one of the selling points of the trip, and was great to see.
We also enjoyed the walks through the forest areas and the peace and
tranquility. We took one of the villa's dogs with us on every trip and it was
a joy to watch them having so much fun in the snow.


Thomas was a great group leader. He changed the itinerary to suit the weather
conditions and was very attune to safety. He let the group spread out during
the walks, depending on personal pace, but would stop regularly to regather
and check in on everyone. He shared his wealth of local knowledge and
experience and was informative and interesting. I’d be very pleased if
every tour leader was as engaged as Thomas – he is definitely one of the
good ones.


Make sure you keep fit in the lead up to the trip and don’t worry about the
distances for the longer walks, they are all achievable and the longer walks
tend to be less steep. For people who are not great with heights some of the
steep sections are nerve-racking but achievable. Don't bother taking a water
bladder the pipe just freezes over no mater how well insulated.


A great winter holiday.

I've been on quite a few Exodus walking and cycling trips and this has to
have been the best so far
This was down to several reasons. Firstly Romania is a beautiful country and
the tour took us though some of the most scenic areas . Our guides Cristina
and Liviu were fabulous. Knowledgeable about their country and relaxed and
fun to be with. We stayed at some wonderful out of the way places and our
hosts and food were exceptional. The group was the best! We laughed so much
and we all felt we had found 13 new friends by the end.
Meeting the local people with a love for their country and a willingness to
share with us their amazing hospitality


Both Cristina and Liviu get full marks
We all fell in love with both of them


This is very much a"get close to the real Romania" trip so make the most of
it
Dont drink the water!!!


The last day was a bit of an anticlimax as it involved a long bus transfer
with a couple of stops at Vlads casle and another palace. Very busy with
tourists and not really enjoyed by any of us I dont think
We had so enjoyed the quiet solitude of the country
I would have preferred a direct ride to Bucharest and then a slightly longer
walk about before our last dinner
