See what our guests are saying

Since the pandemic receded, we have taken readers exploring on eight different Discovery Tours. From the Polar regions to the Mediterranean via Sri Lanka, Galapagos and the Azores. When asked for their feedback, two main themes emerge: They really enjoy spending time with the accompanying experts   “Rowan Hooper and Abigail Beall were a great addition to the trip; they were both knowledgeable in their relevant fields and were lovely people to have around.” Science of the Arctic: Norway   “Jon Copley was excellent, the scientists on the boat trips & the biologist guide for Faial likewise.” Marine ecosystems of the Azores: Portugal The tour leaders (who handle all the tour logistics) also significantly add to the success of the tour    “Kristjan did a great job, taking care of us all, planning ahead. I was able to relax and enjoy the trip as he was on top of everything.” Iceland: Fire and Ice   “The tour guide - Einar Jonsson - was superb. He was friendly, calm, and good humoured with an excellent and wide knowledge of his country.” Iceland: Fire and Ice   And finally, some of the general feedback included:   “An information rich, activity rich experience. It was an excellent trip and one which I would recommend to friends and colleagues.” Megalithic Malta “It was a happy group of 12 disparate people and worked well.” Marine ecosystems of the Azores: Portugal “I have difficulty coming up with any improvements. I enjoyed the whole thing. In fact, I’ve never been on a trip that has been so fascinating.” Iceland: Fire and Ice Here’s what we have lined up over the coming months.
