March Escorted Tours and River Cruising We have just returned from the Rhone cruise to Switzerland booked through our local travel agent Hyde Barker Travel.It was our first experience of a river cruise and we thoroughly enjoyed the holiday. We were able to see so many interesting places whilst enjoying the quality of facilities on board the MS Charles Dickens.Our Tour Director Veronika, and Tour Manager Andras, were excellent in both their knowledge and the manner in which they put the detail across to the guests. Thank you and we look forward to joining other holidays with Riviera in the future. Mr and Mrs S.

Journey or a tailor-made tour and for those real wine buffs there is a 14 day itinerary which includes the wineries of Waiheke Island, Marlborough and of course all the must taste wine regions of New Zealand.

Dear Lovely GrannyI wanted to say thank you for organising our trip to Botswana. I think it is safe to say it was the most incredible experience I have ever had.

airfield and walking to our camp!2) Getting punted along in the Mokoros (dug-out canoes) as the beautiful Botswana sun sank in the sky and cast reflections across the water that would make Monet weep!3) Staying in accommodation, and being able to hear the animals scurrying over the roof, and hippos traipsing past while we drifted off to sleep.Once again, thank-you Granny! This has truly lived up to the name – A Holiday of a Lifetime!

EmiEmi travelled to Botswanna with her Granny. The Hyde Barker team organised the trip for Mrs B. and her five grandchildren with African Pride. African Pride is our preferred tour operator for Africa.
