Africa
As we have come to expect it was a well crafted programme that more than lived up to our expectations. Indeed, the hotels outside Addis Ababa were far better than we had been led to believe, particularly the newly renovated rooms at Axum, with the service from the staff and management exemplary.
Angus and Simone Reid
India
I feel I must write to say how much we enjoyed our Magic Of India visit. All the arrangements you made were extremely well oiled and left us with absolutely no anxiety. Our guide, Najput, was superb and spared himself enough time to see that we were always well informed. Thank you once again for such splendid organisation, couriers always there to meet us, coaches with excellent drivers in India. We have already shared the pleasure of travelling with your company to our friends and will continue to give you the huge mark-up you deserve.
Gordon Bull, East Sussex
Australia & New Zealand
My wife and I have returned today from a holiday in New Zealand organised through your company. The whole holiday was most certainly, in the words of your brochure "an experience that will be long remembered!’’ We were delighted with the ‘sights’, with the hotels, and with the friendly and helpful people who were always there for us.
Mr & Mrs. Pettman, Surrey
Latin America
I have just returned from a holiday aboard the Isabela II to the Galapagos Islands, not only was the whole holiday the fulfillment of a dream but it way exceeded expectations of what I would be able to see and do. The Staff went out of their way to ensure that our particular interests were catered for. It was wonderful to be able to report that we saw 80 different types of bird during our stay as well as a huge variety of other Rainforest life. Once again thank you for a well run, well organised and memorable holiday and be assured that I will use Bales again.

Peter & Pauline Martin
Canada & Alaska
We thought the Cruise West cruise on Spirit of Oceanus was fantastic – it exceeded all our expectations and we had the most marvellous time.We still can’t get over what a fantastic time we had, we were absolutely stunned when the ship stopped to allow us to watch the wildlife. Thanks once again for everything – we won’t hesitate to recommend Bales and Cruise West in the future!
Christine and Alan Smith
Egypt, Morocco & Arabia
My wife and I were lucky enough to book ourselves onto this specific cruise, I cannot tell you how much fun and enjoyment it has given us. Just the right mix of culture versus relaxation, there was always enough time to relax on board between stops, there was always something happening on the Nile banks, whether bird watching, enjoying the local fisherman or agriculture. Thank you once again for organising such a wonderful holiday, we will be booking with you again.

Perfect tour, utterly fantastic. Accomodation was brilliant, the Dunedin Hotel - superb location, and the Umaya Lodge was absolutley out of this world.
Most certainly inspired to travel with Bales again.
