"...overall it was a brilliant trip and I’d really recommend Iceland not only because it’s a beautiful place but because of the volunteer organisation of UST, which really helped throughout. I’d also really recommend using BTCV, who answered all my questions in the run up to the holiday, and made sure that everything was to an excellent standard."
Hannah, Hiking Trails and Glaciers, Iceland
"I had loads of fun – enjoyed myself much more than I ever expected, and, as an extra bonus, came away with muscles I never had (even after a week of almost constant cake-eating) I’ve already recommended it to lots of friends."
Jenny, UK Conservation Holiday
"I felt completely ........ alive.... if you know what I mean. There was a real sense of satisfaction, that I just don't get from my day job."
Nick, UK Conservation Holiday
"[We] were bowled over by the charm of a magical site, and the genuine friendliness, against stereotype, of the French people we met. We all enjoyed the fireworks, the Village Dance, the reception and farewell events with the Mayor etc, and the visit to Hesdin. However, the invitation to the dress rehearsal of ‘Les Nuits Enchantees’, a medieval fable played out in the Chateau and its grounds at night, with everyone, including us, in costume, was an amazing spectacle, which we all felt privileged to have attended. It’s on next year as well!"
Mike, Storming the Castle, Fressin, France
