Beijing & Chengde  u October 2007
"Very interesting and content-rich programme."

Middle-Egypt   u November 2007
"Excellent accompaniment focusing not only on the (art-)historical themes, but also the current social context. Peter and Essam together made an experienced team and were able to get as much out of this week as possible."
"Thanks very much for the wonderful surprise (the visit to the Tehna el-Gebel site), and congratulations. Fantastic accompaniment from Peter and Essam. Extremely professional."

Andalusia   u September 2007
"My first experience of travelling with Amarant was very positive. There was a pleasant atmosphere within the group."
"The content was more extensive and of higher quality than could normally be expected!"."

Bohemia   u  Augustus 2007
"Perfect organisation of the whole programme!"
"Brilliant chauffeur, very thoughtful."

Umbria  u  Augustus 2007
"Rudy was an excellent choice for this journey! His knowledge of the country is superb, and he knows history of the middle-ages better than anyone. He made sure there were plenty of opportunities for us to enjoy the local cuisine as well as the culture."

Lisbon   u  October 2007
"Excellent journey. Got what I expected."

"Praise for the cultural experiences on offer and the sheer fact that a trip to Japan was included in the Amarant programme."
"Étienne Hauttekeete’s accompaniment just added more value."

Egypt   u  November 2006
"Peter de Smet is a very talented narrator and makes many interesting connections between cultures and religions, combined with an eye for detail and a warm and funny way of guiding the group."
"Excellent accompaniment, both on a scientific and a personal basis. Very good handling of both large and small problems – in short, an unforgettable journey in the most positive sense."

Saint Petersburg   u Augustus 2006
"I will have many happy memories of this journey. The one thing nobody had an control of, however, was the weather. It was great, though, and I certainly enjoyed it, along with all the other beauty that Saint Petersburg has to offer. Thanks for everything!"
