A sell-out and very special occasion, now is the time to reserve your place on a tour if you are hoping to be part of this epic depiction of Christ's final passion.

Total Solar Eclipse 2008 tours for a different type of holiday?

Unlike Bonnie Tyler's 1980s song 'Total Eclipse of the Heart', the total solar eclipse is a dramatic and awe-inspiring natural showpiece, worthy of everyone's attention. At this time of year, when the moon completely obscures the sun, a small region of the earth will be able to bear witness to the moment when it is plunged into darkness. If you fancy a bit of eclipse-chasing, you will need to be at your 'post' on the 1st August 2008.

Adventure specialist Explore! have a number of exciting 2008 astronomy and total solar eclipse tours in China, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Uzbekistan, with the majority of trips based in China. These destinations, say Explore!, have been chosen due to their proximity to the path of the eclipse and the best likely weather conditions.

Luxury adventure tours

If you are after some excitement and activity in a holiday but think that luxury tours and adventure tours cannot be experienced at the same time, then it's time to think again! There are many holidays out there that bring in all the elements of both, and you can have all the adventure in the world while resting your head on a comfortable and luxurious pillow at night (instead of clambering into a sleeping bag!).

Luxury adventure tours can be found - and many of our tour operators cater for people who want discovery and activity in exotic locations, but who are not so enamored by the idea of pitching up a tent at night.

Spring break in Tuscany for food & wine?

I love this short 5-night/6-day holiday with Page & Moy to Tuscany, where you will get to explore this beautiful Italian region but in particular, try the wonderful food and wine there. This tour is excellent value from only £589 with the 5th May 2008 departure, and scheduled flights by British Airways between London Gatwick and Bologna.

On this holiday, you can enjoy homemade Tuscan specialities in the excellent family-run hotel and dine with the locals in typical Tuscan restaurants. As well, taste some of Italy’s finest wines (of which it has plenty!) while sitting on the vine-covered hillsides of Chianti, and take some time to explore Florence. As well, this holiday allows you to visit Siena and Pisa as optional excursions.

Cycling tours

From leisurely paced cycling through the Loire Valley in France, to arduous off-road biking towards Kathmandu in Nepal, whatever kind of two-wheeling you prefer, there is a holiday for you. If it's white-knuckle exhilaration you're after, you can have it. If it's a relaxing pedal through pretty provinces you want, you've got it. Whatever your preference, there are many cycle tours that will make your head spin with giddiness as much as the wheels!

Cycling tours can enable you to do and see a lot more in a day than you might manage on foot, and some are fairly non-stop action affairs, while many are on smooth, easy terrain with plenty of resting.
