Hi
i wondered if anyone had been on a holiday with https://www.responsibletravel.com
my oh and i really want to do a short volunteering holiday somewhere a bit different but there are so many companies charging very different prices.
i bought an ethical travel book but that just confused me more
please help - any advice gratefully received.

They are just agents for other responsible tour operators. I.E They take a % of your holiday, which you take with someone else.
They were set up by someone high up ex-Body Shop, and have a good reputation.
Maybe you should say where you'd like to Volunteer, and what type of volunteering, and someone here might point you in the right direction.0 -
You could have a look in the back of the Big Issue Magazine as they have adverts for volunteering holidays in there sometimes.2008 Comping ChallengeWon so far - £3010 Needed - £230Debt free since Oct 20040
