Cuenca & Surroundings holidays

The charming colonial town of Cuenca is a Unesco world heritage site with delightful boutique hotels situated in 19th-century mansions.

Stroll along the cobbled streets and admire the red-roofed colonial houses, graceful iron balconies, flower-filled plazas, churches and cathedrals. The nearby Gualaceo valley is home to various small towns that produce beautiful shawls and scarves, traditional panama hats and gold jewellery. It is also possible to visit the Inca ruins of Ingapirca or travel through the moorland of the Cajas National Park.

"Many thanks for arranging a brilliant itinerary in Namibia – we had an extraordinary time.
Ms Iles"

"The Cox & Kings Europe consultant who handled the bookings for our holiday was excellent and made the arrangements extremely efficiently in a pleasant and helpful manner.
Mrs Upton"

"The opportunity to see the Taj Mahal, on two occasions, ie at sunset and at sunrise. This was all the more poignant for us as we saw the Taj Mahal, firstly, on Valentine's Day and, secondly, on my 60th birthday. It was perfect and well done for organising it on key dates!!
Mrs Wendy Emmott"

"Our guide Abdul really made our holiday. He brought Egypt to life for us.
Mr Christopher Doel"

"This holiday was full of inspirational moments but the visits to Jerash and Petra have to be two of the top experiences one can have anywhere in the world!
Mrs Sheila Musiker"

"Thanks for all your help in creating a truly memorable holiday.
Miss Spencer"

"I can't say that there was one specific moment - there were many. The country and the people were wonderful, despite their obvious poverty. Our tour guide Maria was first class, and went out of her way to make sure that everything went smoothly.
Mrs Judith Purssell"

"I would like to tell you that it was a wonderful trip. Thank you for organising it so well.
Mr Boag"

"The Botanical gardens in Kandy and the Yala National Park were both outstanding.
Mrs Linda Green"

"Hard to choose between walking by the waterfalls at Iguazu and sitting listening to the jungle sounds in the Amazon rain forest.
Mrs Ruth Wilkinson"

"Everything went so smoothly, the tour was very well-organised and excellent value for money.
Mr P Osborne"

"There were lots of high points - the Terracotta warriors, the pandas - but my wife's best moment was standing on the Great Wall, and reflecting on what had gone into building it. Mine was the spectacular scenery of the Goddess Stream during our Yangtse river trip.
Mr Andrew Slater"

"The guide was the most impressive of all. She always responded to our individual needs and made the journey and tour very comfortable and enjoyable. She was a guide, a singer, a dancer, and above all a friend.
Dr Muhammad Rahman"

"We cannot fault any part of the holiday, everything ran as smoothly as it could. The accomodation and the tour guide were excellent and we would dearly love to travel with Cox & Kings again. One of the many highlights were the hotels which were stunning, as well as the trip in Ha Long Bay and the attention to detail. Many thanks for the room upgrades and little extras we received in recognition of our wedding anniversary.
Mr and Mrs Keith"
