Exceeded all my expectations in every area!! The biking was as challenging and demanding as anyone would want and the people and scenery were just amazing. Forested quiet roads, quaint little villages and super tasty food washed down with great local Lao beer. What more could anyone want!!!! I would return to Luang Prabang for ...

I’ll remember Laos for the stunning scenery and lovely people (and of course, the hills and sticky rice!) A very worthwhile and well run trip off the beaten track....

We cannot thank you enough for this superb opportunity to enjoy such an experience…Vic’s already shopping for his mountain bike, Sarah’s been spurred on to achieve improved fitness and health and Vic cannot stop referring everything to Africa. We also have some great African goods to educate our school kids with. Nearly one month on ...

In short, the trip exceeded my expectations in every way. It really did. Theresa, Tim and Joseph were just fabulous, the ratio of riding to rest days was great, the rides were super-challenging but manageable which gave me a great sense of achievement, and cycling was indeed a wonderful way to see the landscape and ...

We have just finished an amazing 16 days of riding beginning and ending in the city of Chengu and making a loop to the Tibetan Plateau including about 500 miles of cycling and 4 mountain passes at 12-13,000 ft elevation–WHEW! It’s the highest we have ever been:) We cycled through rice paddies at harvest time, ...

The Mountain biking trip was outstanding. It was certainly a “trip of a lifetime” and I was constantly saying to myself what an utter privilege it was to experience this. I have some glimmering of understanding of how much effort has gone into finding and selecting the routes and camping places. There is no way ...

Mary and I had an absolutely fantastic trip through Kenya and Tanzania with Escape Adventures. Every day was a new experience and few of them were too extreme. It was very humbling to see how happy the people were particularly the kids when they had so little. It really makes you appreciate what we have ...

The only way to fully understand how incredible our experience would be to try it yourself. Sixteen days that will always be remembered. An amazing trip that has set the bar high for adventures to come. In a league all it’s own. Have made some fantastic new friends from NZ, Australia and Belgium who we ...

I didn’t expect university qualifications as a prerequisite for our guides! Both Mark and Brian were positive and knowledgeable. I did not appreciate what a load the carried until well into the trip. Both were safety conscious but allowed us to have fun and find our own limits and pace. Great company at the stops. ...

Thanks John and Mandy for organizing such a wonderful trip through China/Tibet. Charlie and I had a wonderful time – no two days were the same. Your attention to safety, variety of experiences, selection of food, accommodation and still having fun was terrific and much appreciated. The trip is very well designed to cope with ...

Absolutely every single day was a highlight because everything (terrain, sights and people) was so varied and interesting. I loved the huge variety, even the really hard days of sand-riding and corrugated tracks. If I really have to identify a highlight I guess it would be the day riding the walking tracks through the Masaii ...

Well done Escape Adventures, this trip is truly amazing. Tim and Erin were perfect, in fact they were that perfect that I would employ them. The dynamics of the couple were amazing. They were always happy, motivated and professional. They bought out the best in every situation. We all felt extremely lucky to have such ...

Mandy, We just wanted to repeat to you our thanks to Tim, Erin and Joseph for a quite wonderful holiday. The whole family had a great time on many different fronts and it was a fabulous first introduction for our children to travel in a developing country. The combination of the biking, camping, the local ...

The whole holiday went so well. Everything that could have gone right did and nothing that could have gone wrong wrong did. Tim, Erin and Joseph were above and beyond the call of duty and we got on well with the other family. Almost too perfect, its going to take some beating....

I can’t think of big enough words to describe how amazing this trip was. I’ve never ridden “off-road” and I’ve never tented, but If it’s all like this I’ll do it again!...

John: Thanks a million for everything. You crafted a briliant itinerary and implemented it skillfully, making many changes to adjust what were sometimes trying and unpredicatable conditions. Also I think your leadership had a lot to do with the great chemistry that bound the whole team together. This was truly a memorable experience. Aside from ...

This tour has it all. Stunning scenery from Mt Kilimanjaro to the Indian Ocean and everything in between. The dry bush, the lush forest of the Usambara Mountains, the colourful Maasai people, the wildlife, the game parks and the local people we met along the way – always willing to smile, to laugh and to ...

Africa? On a mountain bike? Are you crazy?? Just some of the comments I received before I headed off to Eastern Africa to do both the Ugandan and Kenya/Tanzanian bike trips offered by Escape Adventures. If you want to experience Africa in a unique and fascinating way – This is it! (trust me). As I ...

The only concerns I had about the trip were personal ones, for example getting sick or getting mugged. The ‘lonely planet’ books have a way of making it seem like you’re taking your life in your hands by visiting Africa. I did feel better when I read your ‘myths about Africa’ section on the website ...
