Salzburg
to Prague Bicycle Tour
Tomas- First, let me say that the tour was a
fabulous experience! The people that we
encountered (Tomas in Salzburg, Frank, who
picked us up to shuttle to Cesky Krumlov) were
very helpful and professional. Tomas was full
of information and patient as he explained the
tools we had to navigate during our trip. The
trails were (generally) well marked, and the
instructions very explicit and complete. We did
get turned around a couple of times in the
larger towns, but no real worries. I will share
that the exit from Cesky Krumlov was somewhat
confusing, with difficult to locate (or
missing?) trail signs. However, once out of
town, an excellent day.
The hotels were all excellent, providing exactly
what we needed at the end of each day (need I
say they were close to taverns!), and easily
located. I believe we were asked to comment
specifically on the Pension Dlouha in Pribram:
it was fine, although different somewhat than
the others- more of a small B&B, with older
furniture, etc., but still enjoyable.
Generally, all of the hotel personnel were very
personable and helpful. I do have to say that
both Pisek and Pribram, we discovered really
emptied out on the weekend- which I found out is
very common. A little tough to find a
restaurant in Pribram, but once we did, it was a
good time- not too far up the hill from the
hotel. And. . . the Hotel Constans in Prague
was fabulous- great location, very large room,
and great staff.
There was only one time we wondered if we were
going to make it- probably as you would expect:
day 3 from Linz was almost torturous, with the
hill work required. We probably spent more time
walking our bikes up hills rather than riding.
Not real fun until we crossed from Austria to
the Czech Republic- finally some downhill work.
By the way, it was very interesting that the
customs building at the border was completely
empty! Welcome to the Czech Republic! At least
the beer was cold when we sat across from the
park in Vyssi Brod waiting for Frank. I am sure
there have been attempts to make the day easier,
and no options are available, but we almost
called a cab (smile). I am not sure how folks
get through the day in the heat of summer. It
was unseasonably warm for us, and as we walked
up the last hill, figured you must have a few
people struggle in July and August.
As we looked at the pictures we took along the
way, we realized we had a great time going along
the back roads and national parks. The towns we
stayed in were really interesting, with most
taverns and restaurants having either English
speaking folks, or translated menus. Really
hospitable people.
If we look at doing this again, we would not
hesitate to utilize your company's services.
You were very thorough in your preparation for
us, and easy to work with.
Thank you very much for the experience.
By the way, the 1/2 day tour in Prague was
great. Joeri was a really good guide and
resource as we made our way through the alleys
and streets of the city.

BRAZIL:
Rio, Iguassu Falls, Pantanal, Paraty
Hello, Tomas.
I am home to frigid Minnesota. Kind of a change
from Brazil. Can I go back?
My trip went beautifully (other than some rain,
but not much to be done about that.)
I was pleased with my hotels, particularly Porto
Bay in Rio and Pousada Sandi in Paraty. I think
in Paraty I got the best room in the house as it
had a small balcony and overlooked the
courtyard, not the street. So, however that
happened, thank you. The Porto Bay view was also
fabulous, overlooking Copacabana Beach.
As we talked about before I left, the internal
Brazil flights are nuts. But all internal travel
went uneventfully. There were a couple things
that were different than originally arranged,
but both were improvements. In Iguassu, I had an
English speaking guide one on one, not a group
tour. And, my final flight from Cuiaba to Rio
was late, thus missing the bus. I was a bit
worried about what I would find when I got off
the plane, but there was a driver/car waiting
for me. He didn't speak English, but it didn't
matter as it was 10:30 when we started the
drive! However the travel folks worked that out,
it was an excellent solution. In Paraty, the
tour dates got juggled around once I was there,
but the tour company handled it well, and it
turned out to be an improvement based on
weather.
There were no glitches in any of the travel
arrangements, so thank you for your part in
that. Paraty was a terrific recommendation. And,
there is just so much more of Brazil to see. The
parts that I did experience were all so diverse
from one another, it kept it interesting. One of
the trip highlights for me was the Brazilian
music. Everywhere I went it was prevalent, and I
loved all that I heard.
So, thank you for helping me plan a memorable
and very enjoyable trip.
Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, where
ever you are in the world.
Thanks again for your help and guidance in
putting this trip together.

Vienna
to Krakow Bicycle Self-Guided Trip
Hi Tomas,
We just got back from our cycling trip and
wanted to give you the highlights. First,
everything went well - no injuries or mishaps.
Second, it was everything we'd hoped it would
be. However, the GPS we had never worked.
Neither of us have used one before and we
figured we could manage with the maps and
instructions. We did find that portions of the
maps were either outdated or we simply didn't
understand, as we managed to get lost a lot. But
we figured it out, and had fun in the process.
By the way, Krakow which was very different than
what I expected, much more cosmopolitan. There
is no doubt that this is the best way to travel,
as we saw so much more than we’d ever see any
other way.
Also, we had a chance to spend some time with
Tom. He took us to Mikolov, which was definitely
one of the highlights of our trip.
Anyways, thanks again for your help with this
trip. We would definitely hope to work with you
again when we plan future trips. Feel free to
use what I wrote for your web page, and I'd be
happy to be a reference for you.
Regards,
Cheri

SOUTH AFRICA:
Johannesburg, Shiduli Private Game Reserve, Sabi Sands
Private Game Reserve, Cape Town
Hi Tomas,
The trip went as planned. I did get busted, however,
on the weight of my carry-on bag on the feeder
flights to and from the park. The limit is 7 Kilos.
When you have over 10 pounds of camera gear as I do,
it's pretty tough not to exceed the 15 1/2 pd limit.
The fine is pretty stiff.
Anyway, I had a wonderful time. Got some remarkable
photo's in the park. The weather was excellent. And,
as always, I met a lot of enjoyable people. I can
see why Elephant Plains is in such demand. While
Sudili was OK, it isn't in the same class as EP.
Thanks for doing another bang up job for me!

Costa Rica &
Panama
Tomas,
What a wonderful trip! The Pacific Coast of CR is
certainly amazing. And as you said the highlight
would be Corcovado NP, truly spectacular park -
thanks for getting us to include it in our
itinerary.
And we feel same about Panama.
Glad we toured around Baru, we appreciated your
recommendation of Peninsula Azuero and trip to San
Blas was indeed the best part.
All arrangements were perfect,
just wish we had more time to spend, but we'll be
back! Thanks for all your help!

Bike Salzburg to Prague, self-guided
Hi Tomas,
 We
very much enjoyed our bike trip. It was a
nice blend of riding in towns and country
and also a good combination of flats and
hills. The bikes were fine as was the
service we received while on the road. There
were a few minor mistakes with the written
directions, but nothing significant. We had
a problem with our first GPS, but we
received a replacement within a couple of
days. Our hotels were very nice and well
situated and the staff were always helpful.
The taxi & train transfers were all well
coordinated.
 Personally,
I think we enjoyed the smaller towns more
than Salzburg and Prague. Although very
picturesque, we found Prague to be much more
"commercialized" than we had anticipated. It
probably was due partially to the fact that
it was the busy summer season and also that
the World Cup was taking place at the same
time.
Thanks for setting up a memorable trip,
Greg

Belize:
Orange Walk District, Lamanai Outpost Lodge,
Xunantunich, Cahal Pech & San Ignacio, Crooked
Tree & Baboon Sanctuary, Caracol & Rio Frio Cave
& Pools
The trip was great!! The guides were very
knowledgeable & helpful.
Lamanai & Belize City hotels were wonderful. We
were glad to stay in san Ignacio city, just to
see the sights. Cahal Pech hotel was just ok,
but did see toucans flying around in the am &
pm. Believe it was a good choice for us, but
probably stay at San Ignacio hotel next time.
Overall, we saw/did what we wanted to & with
excellent guides. We couldn’t have asked for a
better trip.
THANK YOU so much for taking care of the details
for us. We’ll keep your company in mind for
future trips…

Bicycle Tours Vienna to
Prague
I just wanted to thank you for your
help in booking / organizing an absolutely fabulous
vacation.
Virtually everything went like clockwork!
 We
were met at the airport and taken to the train
station as planned in Prague and the fellow assisted
us to figure out the platform for the train to
Vienna ( it was nice to relax on the train). We
enjoyed the city tour and were able to then tour all
the other things we wanted to see. We got a train to
Breclav - unfortunately we were early so we took the
commuter train not realizing that it does not go to
Breclav but that the last leg is by bus - a lady on
the train clued us in to what was happening and we
were met by Tomas at the station with no troubles.
The guide, Lad'a Ptacek , was absolutely superb!!
and if anyone needed a recommendation I would
certainly give it... he was a fountain of knowledge
, patient, funny and brought many personal stories
to the history to make it real with lots of behind
the scene tidbits. The porters were also very
helpful with the bags and the bikes and the hotels
were wonderful and with great meals, easy checkins,
and wonderful dinners, and tours.
 We
were blessed with perfect biking weather about 70F
every day with only a bit of rain on the last day -
which was fun as well for the half of us that
decided to bike. Lisa and I took the side trip down
into Hardegg (nice 3 km 12% climb out of the canyon
but worth the effort) while the others went on - we
were able to catch up with them pretty easily, and
since I had my GPS we also were entrusted to lead
part of the group ahead a couple of times. The maps
and the route sheets were wonderful and informative.
The scenery was lovely, the towns were beautiful and
still unspoiled. Some of the group were somewhat
older and did have some trouble with a few of the
hills and in a couple of cases took the van instead.
I did wonder if I might have enjoyed doing the trip
in reverse though since I found it kind of jarring
to be in Prague with all the souvenir shops - all
the people etc after all the peaceful non touristy
days on the road...
Thanks Tomas Belcik for helping to set up such a
flawlessly organized trip and thanks to Lad’a Ptacek
– a guide extraordinaire!

Ultimate Everest Trek -
Gokyo Ri, Kala Pattar, Chukung Ri
Group of 8 women
We had a successful journey...
The
Himalayan mountain range was massively majestic and our gorgeous mountain
views always seemed like paintings because of being so surreal! The
alpine glow was breath taking! Despite the fact that our group took
an alternate route rather than
going to base camp, which supposedly was one that was less
traveled, there were still too many people trekking. We went to the
Khumbu Region and "overlooked" Everest Base Camp. We were at 19,000
feet and had full views of about 10 mountains that were all over
26,000 feet and higher...with Everest being 29, 028 feet. There were
over 1200 tents at base camp as we looked down upon the area and
thought this was impossible but the numbers were confirmed once we
got to the permit station and heard the facts! The area is so
amazing but we found too much litter and nasty debris! Some of the
places we went to were, Lukla, Namche Bazar, Tengboche, Pangboche,
Pheriche, Lobuche, Kalapatthar (my favorite), Khumbu Glacier, Chola
Pass, Gokyo and Gokyo Pass.
The
Nepalese people are very gentle, helpful and kind people with
needing very little, which was quite humbling. These people were
very hard workers, especially the 24 porters, cooks
and Sherpaswe had to help us along the way. Our lead
Sherpa, Pasang, was fabulous and most knowledgeable! He knew what to
do to help the group acclimate to the altitude and took things
slowly. The help are
very appreciative to be porters with very little pay and carry about twice their body
weight...I marveled at how they were capable of dealing with
altitude while doing these carries! It is quite difficult to breath
normally at high altitudes! The
food was very good with many choices offered throughout the trek. I
was very impressed with what they produced...without a real
kitchen! I slept in tents 19
nights and did not get to wash my hair. Although I did use what the
astronauts use...shampoo without H2O. We did get to buy a shower a
week which was a bucket of hot water! We had a latrine tent for
privacy which was great! (ha-ha!) We
had the best of weather with
crisp blue skies every morning and the temperatures of about
10 -15 degrees at night and
40-50 by day. The colder the better because of not sweating too
much!!! I had a fantastic time getting ready for the trip and I was
very happy to have had this beautiful experience!
I want to thank you
for organizing my trip !
Our trip was
fantastic and I cannot say enough great things about Pasang. He
was so positive, fun and supportive in every way. I tended to be
the slowest hiker in the group, but he never pressured me to
"hurry up". The food was delicious and we had great fun with the
kitchen help. They were all lots of fun to be with.
I had had lots of concern about my ability to physically do this
trip, but I am so glad I did. It was great.
Marna
Our trek to and
around the Khumbu Valley was exceptional, not only for
spectacular scenery, but also because of our world-class
guide and support team. Their understanding of proper
acclimatization and selecting a pace and route appropriate
for this group (age 27 to 63) ensured everyone’s enjoyment
and success. Plus their buoyant infectious personalities
and sheer passion energized us through even the more
challenging terrain. I’d trek with them anyplace and will
again. Fantastic! Great trip, great
group, great weather, and especially a great job by Pasang
and his staff. Everyone loved the trip and people, and
Pasang was on top of every detail. It was a success on all
fronts. Thanks again for fantastic coverage and for picking
such a competent local contact. Pasang's a real pro. Ruth Anne
The Best Ever! The leadership of Pasang was incredible. He is friendly,
personable and honorable. I know the trek would not have been the same
with another group. From the team he has assembled to the menu of food
he provided was the finest quality. I feel that I have made lasting
friendships in Nepal.
Thank you for your fine work, Tomas.

India
Hi
Tomas! India was exactly as we expected. The
hotels were wonderful, the guides were informative,
and the drivers were excellent. We were met on time
at all the airports and there were no problems.
But.... the guide in Udaipur was exceptionally
good. I can't remember his name but he realized
what we were interested in and he told us more about
the caste system, marriages, etc. He took us on a
morning walk of the the town and was so interesting
we were sorry to end the tour!
For some
unknown reason, the hotels had our address as the
U.S. Consulate in Wash DC. We received incredible
treatment! We were upgraded to suites, had a butler
at one hotel, and were given all kinds of extras --
Goan prawns which were ordered specially for us and
then we were comped for the entire meal, etc. At
the Taj Exotica when the head executive chef came
out to talk to us, he mentioned that we probably
knew other people from the embassies! We know that
the Taj hotels and Oberoi hotels are known for their
service, but they went overboard trying to please
us! We were extremely happy with everything and very
easy to please! But they asked us over and over and
over -- even calling us to ask what more they could
do! At almost every meal the chefs came out with
special dishes made specially for us (and they
didn't go to anyone else's table) and then they
wouldn't charge us for these dishes! Even the
breakfast chef made us coconut yogurt then came out
to explain how he made it with real fresh coconut
and the entire staff (about 8 people) stood around
(you like it? you like it?).
Overall
it was a great trip. You did a fantastic job
planning it for us! Thank you so much for
everything you did for us!

Ladakh, India
Hi Tomas,
Our trip was FANTASTIC!! Don't even know where to
start....Guest House Deskit was all you said it would
be... your Ladakh crew, Lobsang were excellent...our guide,
Gyalson Konchuk was a delightful young man and did a
great job, got a great cook and assistant - we had very
good meals...stayed in village houses which was a nice
way to see Ladakhi life...weather was outstanding -
gorgeous sunny, clear, warm days, cold nights with full
moon and starry skies - could not have asked for
better... weather starting to turn with clouds and snow
on the higher elevations when we returned to Leh. The
Sham trek was good for us, both Diane and I worked hard
on the steep places, but just went slowly and had no
trouble with elevation with the exception of panting on
those steep climbs, Jim could have easily done a longer,
higher trek, but it was great for all of us. Absolutely
wonderful monasteries and Gyalson made sure we got into
the "chapels".
I would certainly recommend Footloose to anyone - it was
great.
Best regards,
Nancy

Ladakh, India
Dear Tomas,
Please forgive my delay in answering your email query
about our Sham Trek, but we still are traveling. We're
in Malaysia right now.
To answer your question, the trek was wonderful. Ladakh
is beautiful, the people are welcoming and kind, the
monasteries are among the best we have ever seen, with
many monks in residence. Our guide, Gyaltsen, was a
delightful companion, a very polite young man, and a
very good guide. Our trekking crew was very good.
Leh was very interesting, and Lobsang and his wife were
perfect hosts. Their guest house was very comfortable
and clean and it offered the best view in Leh, I think,
with Tang Kangri and the peace stupa on the horizon.
You offer the best trekking value and quality we have
ever found, and we have been trekking for more than 20
years in a half dozen different countries. We will
contact you when we plan our next Asian or European
trip.
Very best regards,
Jim Pearre and Diane DeRocher |

Sikkim
The scenery in Sikkim certainly takes your breath
away-not to mention the roads and the hikes! Both
drivers were excellent-thank goodness. I had been warned
about the roads but the roads in Sikkim did take my
breath away a couple of times.
On the whole, I enjoyed the trip. Sikkim is so very
different from the rest of India, which is very
refreshing.

Walking Budapest
to Krakow
Bottom line, the trip was
excellent. Our guide in Slovakia (Jano) was the best we could imagine. The
accommodations were good. The whole program was good with only minor
glitches. Even the day of hiking in the pouring rain was enjoyable for us.
We have already given your WEB information to some of our friends who may
be looking at doing the trip.
Will contact you
later about trekking in Bhutan/Nepal next year.

Trekking Ladakh to
Spiti
Tomas,
The Rumtse to Kibber trek was a
success. On the whole your team did a good job. Lopsang Punchok was very
business like and put us in a wonderful guest house in Leh. He also got all
our Leh purchases delivered to Manali and made sure we had Volvo bus
reservations to Delhi.. The young guide Gel and the Nepalese cook, Shekhar
were great. We spent an acclimatization day hiking the hills above Rumtse
where we discovered prehistoric pictographs. As a result, I'm in touch with
Carlo an Italian we shared the Rumtse camp site with, and I'm looking for an
appropriate archeologist to review the photos.
Although Laura and I had camped
at 18700ft. on our 2003 Mt Kilimanjaro climb and also made it to the top of
19700ft. Mt Elbrus in 2004, we were initially surprised by the fierce sun
and wind on the high plateau around the two lakes and beyond.. I think the
high dry desert made the weather more intense. We did adapt though. I never
mentioned it but I injured my left hamstring on Memorial Day. The leg
improved steadily on the trek and both Laura and I made it over the 18850
ft. Parang La in snow and fog without problem. After that we really enjoyed
the rest of the trek to Kibber.
We had a great experience at
Johnson's Lodge in Manali. They let us stay in our hotel room until 5pm on
Thursday although checkout time was twelve noon. They also served the best
trout dinner I've ever had. We had the same great treatment at the Park
Hotel in Delhi. The Manali bus arrived in Delhi at 7:20 am instead of 10am
as scheduled. The Park gave us our room at 8am without extra charge. Harrish
the travel agent you had arranged to get us to the airport was really
efficient and helpful. He got us there in plenty of time for our flight and
saw us through right up to security. We were impressed with Indian
hospitality. We really enjoyed the trip.
All the best,

North-Western Panama
Hello Tomas,
Changuinola was wonderful and I would like to go there again sometime or see
a different place. I'm glad I chose to do my fishing in different
places because there was a lot of things to see and explore for me. I
personally like to stay away from the regular tourist traps, as I miss all
the nature stuff that I like.
A couple of things about the Indian
community if the people asking for a request are planning to take the
long walks which I take :)
1. wear good hiking /travel
boots as the paths are steep and easy to lose your grip after the rain
and you can then fall on the slick mud and have a major injury if you
are climbing in the hills in the community. I'm not kidding or
exaggerating about this because the paths are not maintained in the
jungle and if one slips /falls, it can be a bad experience.
2. it is best to leave any
heavy luggage with Sr. Elladio (in his office) in Changuinola when going
on the jungle trip - he is a very nice man and when he is around he
gives you a lot of very good information about Changuinola. This is
simply because the boat cannot carry heavy luggage and a daypack is
enough for a day or two to visit the community.
The food at the Indian community was excellent and I had no complaints.
The shower and toilet facilities were as good as other jungle places I
have been in....and the wildlife was spectacular, particularly the dart
frogs!
By all means I'll keep in
touch.

Ladakh, India Jeep
Safari
Hi Tomas,
Back home I want to
let you know that our holiday in Ladakh was one of the nicest we have
had so far. Apart from the country itself, the people and landscape
which you all know better than we do it was perfect timing, no stress ,
excellent guide and driver - excellent hotel in Leh and Delhi, fine
resort in Tso Morriri - only the camp in Nubra Valley was not too clean,
the food very poor, and I think parties of two or four people should
better be put in a guesthouse...the tent itself is romantic, but the
rest isn't. Also we personally would go back from Tso Morriri on the
same road, instead of the Tso Kar on....I remember that you
suggested this version....but I did not listen to you.......
Mahabodi is a
special place - we were the only clients, and liked it very much .
Excellent service, excellent food - staff more than friendly, David
special person - but maybe not suitable for "normal" tourists, who might
prefer the pollution and chaos of Leh and would probably not be too
happy with the low electricity (one can hardly read in the tent or find
something) and the lack of shade.
Ciao-ciao
