In 2011
Bettina led a successful trip to Romania, Moldova and Ukraine in May/June 2011. Trip comments can be read at ‘Testimonials’.
The trip to Mali end October 2011 had to be cancelled due to lack of interest, unfortunately.
We had a fascinating trip last year, you can read comments and itinerary of last trip on this website.
In 2012 the following two trips are planned
‘TWO RELIGIONS, TWO CULTURES’ a trip combining the first Christian country in the world – ARMENIA with an extensive visit to northern IRAN, and as well the southern towns of Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, Persepolis and Yazd. The tour is planned to start in April 2012. A chance for you to drink Shiraz in Shiraz? The itinerary has now been finalised.
ETHIOPIA - A visit to the ancient country in the Horn of Africa. The itinerary is now online … More information under Ethiopia.
Please inform me if you are interested so that I can continue planning and organisation.
I organise and escort the trips myself: take only 10 to max. 15 interested, motivated and mature travellers and promise a unique experience with a very local traditional flavour. We stay in the same hotels as a local tourist, or where possible in home stay, and we eat in safe hotel or local restaurants. The fares are low. We always use a local English speaking guide.
From personal experience I know these countries are safe – contrary to public opinion – the people are hospitable, welcoming and friendly and THEY NEED US.
