The Magdalen Islands holidays

The Magdalen Islands (Îles de la Madeleine) encompass 12 islands that form a 65-km-long archipelago approximately a 3-hour flight from Quebec City in the Atlantic Ocean. During the summer, the many dunes form part of the landscape, along with 300km of beaches. In winter, for just two weeks in February, it is possible to see white-furred harp seal pups on the islands. At this time of year, freezing temperatures and snow create a magical atmosphere on the islands.

"A good holiday which provided an excellent introduction to Madagascar, in a short space of time. The holiday was well planned, which meant that I was able to see a lot in one week. The tour manager was really excellent - one of the best tour managers I have had on a holiday of this kind.
Mr Sweeny"

"The holiday was very diverse and each day we had new and exciting experiences.
Ms Margaret Newton"

"isits to the Pyramids and Sphinx at Giza, Temples of Hatshepsut, Karnac and Luxor, and the Egyptian Museum at Cairo were a 'not to be missed' lifetime experience. The Mirage 1 was a clean and efficient boat with a colonial style and the staff were very attentive and friendly. Everyone was amazingly attentive, punctual and friendly. One of our best holidays ever. Really it was a great adventure - thank you Cox & Kings.
Mr Michael Sumpster"

"Our whole trip went very smoothly , everything was perfect in Zanzibar. Well done and many thanks!!
Mr Zolotas"

"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"

"Our guide Bhavari added to our enjoyment of the Amber Fort by telling us all about the historical background and explaining his own views. Rattan our guide in Delhi was also excellent. He is 75 and traced the huge changes he has seen in India through his own life story.
Mrs Angela Southon"

"I am writing to thank you for organising our excellent holiday in Morocco. All the accommodation was superb and our transfers went smoothly.
Mrs Welford"

"Seeing the Great pyramid, Sphinx and the tombs in the Valley of the Kings.
Miss Ann Colbert"

"Going round the Grey Glacier in a boat and drinking a pisco sour with ice from the glacier (at least so we were assured!)
Mrs Alison Jamieson"

"The visit to the Temple of the Tooth in Kandi made a deep impression on me. It was intensely crowded with devout Buddhists and I was in the middle of the crush when the doors of the casket opened, yet felt perfectly safe. I have a high regard for the gentle Sri Lankan people. I find tea plantations exceptionally beautiful, and am thrilled with the rich colours and patterns of the small fruit and spice stalls.
Ms Phyllis Babb"

"The beautiful buildings in Samarkand were awe-inspiring for me.
Mr Norman Young"

"Registan Square in Samarkand - The sight was so extraordinarily beautiful it took our breath away, and we all stood silent for several minutes, just taking in the scene. I think this site is one of the wonders of the world.
Dr. Eva Simmons"

"Easter Island was amazing, just as I expected. The first sight of the crater at Orongo was breathtaking
Ms Carol Gould"

"The actual sites that we set out to see &nadash; Aphrodisias was a great surprise and Ehpusus was quite wonderful.
Mrs Siggers"
