Hammersmith, Ealing and West London College is one of the biggest centres of further education in the country. With sites located in Hammersmith, Ealing, Acton and Southall, they run courses that are enjoyed by 25,000 students every year.

Hidden Greece features only unspoilt islands and villages in Greece and they pride themselves on dealing directly with the owners of the properties they feature. They never negotiate our hotels through the sales department of some impersonal international organisation with hundreds of properties all over the world. The effect of this is that their clients are as likely to be on first name terms with the owners of the accommodation they are staying in as they are and that, in turn, means they will have contact with the local inhabitants and thus come back with a far more valuable insight into Greek life than the client who spends a week or two in an all-inclusive ghetto somewhere. They do not send enough clients to give them the clout to pressurise local councils to clean beaches, ban motor scooters, reduce noise late at night, but they can - and do - often make suggestions and are indeed sometimes asked for their views.

Himalayan Kingdoms is committed to responsible tourism, through its policies and practices which permeate all aspects of its business. The company policies aim to ensure that Himalayan Kingdoms and its clients act in a way which is socially, environmentally and culturally sound. They feel strongly that all their holidays should benefit the local communities, protect the environment by minimising pollution, and respect local traditions, religion and heritage. They tread lightly - low volume, low impact trekking/touring is the best way of preserving the beautiful and fragile places they visit.
