1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Going under sail. Sunrise after sleeping on deck2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
This was a wonderful holiday. The cabins are smaller than other similarly priced holiday gulets I've been on but we're Aircon till 3am. I slept on deck anyway. The food was a good standard. The staff were all very professional.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
I hope so. The staff and food were all local4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The cruise itself and the overall experience, which was generally excellent in all regards. It was also a very pleasant group of passengers on the ship.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Give particular attention to the time of year that you choose for your cruise. We went during the second last week of the season, the week of September 21, when the temperature was in the high 20s/low teens C. It would be far too hot to do such a cruise in July or August when you may have to sleep on deck. Second, consider the kind of cruise experience that you want. Ours was very relaxing, with lots of swimming and some shopping. The amount of shopping was adequate, but our particular itinerary was a bit light on ancient history as we visited only one archaeological zone outside of Bodrum. Third, consider the type of vessel that you want. Our ship, the Flax VII, was not "super-luxury", but was still a beautiful and well-appointed vessel that was very nice for the price with an excellent crew.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
All ship supplies were purchased locally. Local shopping stops also helped local merchants and much of the goods available were made locally. The captain and crew were also mainly local people.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
As noted above, overall it was excellent and generally exceeded our expectations. I would also note we had no prior knowledge of or experience with either Responsible Travel or the operator or about our ship, the Flas VII. We would not hesitate to recommend them to others or to book another vacation through either of them.Viboon Savangwongsakul review 8 Jul 2019
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The courteous and attentive service of Captain Levent and his crew is beyond expectation.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
No need to have second thought in joining this luxury Gulet Aegean Cruise. Meals on board were excellent - different main course dinner menu for the whole week.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
To a certain extent, e.g., souvenir purchases, castle / church entrance fees, etc. Hardly any spendings on food and drinks as all meals included on board.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent - major part due to like mind travellers on board.Clifford J Bland review 22 Oct 2019
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Sailing in the gulet and enjoying the scenery2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Plan your shore activities, perhaps including a dinner ashore. These were not included in the cruise.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Not particularly. Apart from calling taxis, the crew did not organize any interactions with locals. On the positive side, the use of disposable plastic and paper products was kept to a minimum.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Good food but little variation. Very clean boat and comfortable accommodation. Too much time spent moored offshore.Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
