Guests Comments

 

We really appreciate the detailed replies that so many of our guests send after their Bare Bones holidays, safe in the knowledge that if there are improvements to be made we will make them.  Our Travellers also know how encouraging it is for all of us hard-working folk back in the office to know that those extra phone calls, that new idea which took so long to put into practice; such things were worth the effort. 

 

Our attention to detail has given them a really wonderful holiday.

 

Here are some of our favourite guests’ comments from the past year:

 

 

 

Bare Bones Tours 2007

“Very good.   Bare Bones give us flexibility, less group structure and good value for money.” 

 (BB Jordan 07)

 

“The Bare Bones format gave just the right balance of organised and free time.  I enjoyed having some time to myself and the freedom to eat out where I chose, but it was also good to have the option of eating with the group in the evenings.”

(BB Pompeii 07)

 

“The tour gives a real flavour of Roman North Africa; made even more tangible by our Lecturer.  The moment I stepped into the amphitheatre from the circus – through a tunnel, will be something I’ll never forget.  I felt just like a gladiator”

(BB Libya 07)

 

“Quite wonderful…Every day seemed better than the last.  It was such magic to see these wonderful places with no crowds.”

(BB Libya 07)

 

“Pompeii – absolutely fantastic and so much better with an expert guide, although I did enjoy going back and seeing it again by myself on the last day.” 

(BB Pompeii 07)

 

“Well organised. Memorable locations. Excellent guides. I was worried about the tour because I had not been on an archaeological trip before. I was pleasantly surprised how welcome and included I felt, and found the whole holiday very relaxing.”

(BB Troy 07)

 

“I loved walking the streets of Pompeii.  Finding the water reservoir from which water flowed throughout Pompeii, one of the water towers and lead pipes conveying the water to some of the most luxurious villas, made me feel life continued there.  I also enjoyed the lack of hype throughout.”

(BB Pompeii 07)

 

“My favourite part of this trip was being able to wander about the oldest part of Split, tracing the Roman amongst the later structures and street patterns.”

(BB Split 07)

 

“I most enjoyed the visit to Troy. One can read as much as one wishes about a site but there is no substitute for being there.”
