LOVELY LAKESIDE SETTING
Estancia Guardia del Monte is 2,500 acre working ranch that鈥檚 packed full of big surprises. Firstly, it is a historic building dating back to 1800, with its own period charm. Yet there are only three guestrooms, so you quickly become a member of the family, and gain a feeling of what ranch life is like.

Then you step outdoors and realise that the vast ombu tree, that has taken on the shape of a fantastical sculpture, is not alone. There is a deeply fascinating forest of them within easy reach. Beyond lies a wetland refuge that has been designated a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO 鈥 and this is just the start of an unforgettable experience.

“INDIA AT ITS MOST INCREDIBLE”
Unbelievably brilliant from start to finish. 好色先生TV gave us complete flexibility while tailoring the trip to our personal preferences. Communication was excellent throughout, and the in-country team in India was super-efficient at every stage. The quality of the experience was exceptional 鈥 and the value for money, remarkable. From expert naturalists to thrilling wildlife encounters (tigers, leopards, 140 species of birds), awe-inspiring temples, the Taj Mahal, scenic walks and warm, welcoming people 鈥 not to mention the fantastic curry 鈥 it was a truly superb holiday. 鈥淯ltimate鈥 really is 鈥満蒙壬鶷V鈥!
“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT 鈥 AND MORE TO COME”
I鈥檝e been on several small group holidays with 好色先生TV and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception 鈥 expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven鈥檛 looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate 鈥 and I鈥檓 already planning my next.
“SEAMLESSLY ORGANISED, TRULY UNFORGETTABLE”
The itinerary was spot on. Claire really listened and understood the kind of holiday I wanted 鈥 from the hotels to the pace of the trip.
