While in France, taking a bike ride through the gorgeous Bordeaux vineyards or touring the Loire Valley, home to the quaint châteaux, is surely an absolute winner.  However, in Italy, the Amalfi Coast offers breathtaking coastline routes to explore, while the Tuscany region offers jaw dropping scenery and cultural treasures. The ideal bicycle ride ultimately comes down to personal taste in terrain and surroundings. Here at ETG it is pretty much impossible to decide. Both countries are incredible for an adventure, with great food, wine, the people and so many different diverse local features (and steep hills!) Whatever you choose enjoy the environmentaly friendly buzz of pedal power.

Namibia and Botswana each provide distinctive experiences.  While Namibia is home to breathtaking scenery like the Namib Desert and Fish River Canyon, Botswana is renowned for its abundant wildlife in the Okavango Delta. To choose between the two, think about the kind of adventure you're looking for: stunning landscape or wildlife. At ETG we can't comment, because no one in the office (surprisingly) has been to either countries. So, you decide or do both!  Have fun! 

The world isn't full, there's loads of space! The problem is that we pleasure seeking humans tend to be drawn to the more famous destinations. Paris, Barcelona, Rome. Many of us have a bucket list of top places we yearn to see in our lifetime, but it is hardly an authentic experience to be rammed into a street packed full of tourists, where the locals have long fled. So, what's the solution? It would be tragic for first time travellers to be denied the great sights of Florence, but maybe to spend your entire trip jostling for space at the most famous selfie spots isn't the only option. Overland travel is the E.T.G. answer to true adventure. Travel to the major tourist hot spot of your dreams, enjoy for a few days, and then get out! Hire a car, or hop aboard a train or bus and seek out the lesser known hidden gems that will reward you with a true blood experience of the people and cultures that give life to the blue and green planet we call home.
