The walks in the hills above Kotor Bay and Budva were probably the highlight of our 4-week holiday. The views and scenery were beautiful.

Stunning hikes during the day and then we could relax back at the hotel and on the beaches, swimming and snorkeling (more)Marc Roberts
It's hard to pick one (memorable) part when the scenery is as beautiful as what we saw. Some of the hikes we didn't see any other people and it was quite special - feeling almost alone with the environment and the views surrounding us.

I think my favourite walk was the one which started from Rosas and took
us along the coast through the pines for the first two thirds, so that we swam twice in two different bays before heading off up the mountains.

Hi Duncan,
Thanks for your review.
We just wanted to explain that we have been able to employ loclas to maintain the apartment you stayed. They were cleaned by a Lubrin villager. We also employed a local Lubrin woodcutter to deliver logs to the burner. When the drainage problem was reported, we were able to offer a free upgrade to a detached east facing cottage.

Hard to choose between seeing the most spectacular sunrises from my terrace with a pot of coffee or standing on a high point on a nearby hill, able to see the sea on the horizon and the lunar landscape and mountains to my left. (more)Briony Turner
The highlight was the spectacular walks offering such amazing views. During our 5 days in Lubrin we did three of the long walks and we thoroughly enjoyed walking through the foothills as well as high in the mountain tops, just stunning. (more)Annette Easton

Travelling through the Archipelago was one of the most memorable parts of the holiday. (more)Felicity Bond
There were endless memorable moments: tramping along the Soderlandsleden very well-waymarked trail, through the woods; exploring the islands at Stendorren and Savo; seeing creatures we hadn't see before, such as a slow worm, an otter, a white-tailed sea eagle... (more)Bronwen Davies

Memorable parts?
There are so many very special moments, but we feel that this holiday enabled us to become involved with local people and their culture that we couldn't have achieved independently. We also enjoyed the combination of nature, wildlife and city attractions.
Tips?
This tour offered so much more in reality than can be described in a brochure.
Local benefits?
Certainly we interacted and used local people as much as possible.

Our hosts, Lucy and Angel, were brilliant. Angel picked us up from the airport and the holiday started right there. He is a mine of local information and our journey was punctuated by him picking out the spectacular flora and fauna of the region - buzzards, vultures and other local wildlife. Lucy put together for us a 50-mile walking itinerary for the next six days which started with Angel leading us on a personal 2-hour hike to see the local landmarks. The schedule then...

This trip was exactly what I had envisioned. It was a trek at lower altitude than the treks to Anapurna and Everest base camps. That meant that the trek was
somewhat easier than at higher altitude, but was still enough to provide a challenge. In contrast to those treks, it was non-commercial. During the week of
the trek we saw only local people. The lifestyle of the people we saw has changed little over time. Stays were in people's homes, where we shared the food that... (more)Bryan Salte

The visit to Kastro was very enjoyable. The walk it was good, the town was beautiful at dusk and our dinner was very enjoyable with live local musicians. (more)Leanne Nicholson

Our guide, Daphnie, was superb, being always willing to adjust the itinerary to suit people and/or weather, the walking and scenery is incredible, the hotels ideally located in small seaside towns, and the restaurants recommended for us throughout the holiday gave us a perfect 'taste of Greece'. (more)Jim Frame
The fact that our excellent Greek guide was able to give us so much information about the islands, and also about Greek life in general. Through her we met a number of locals and felt it was altogether a very Greek experience. (more)Christa Laird
It was an enjoyable experience but we were not expecting the walks were going to be on trails rather than rocky paths. (more)Eric Middleton

Scenery - simply stunning. The weather was kind to us and we got bright sharp days of sun and snow to see the mountains and forests. Staying with local people and enjoying their hospitality in some simple but homely settings. We even used a local's horse drawn sledge to get part way to the next village. (more)Ian Papworth

Memorable parts?
The first two days of the Great Ocean Walk; also the Atherton tablelands stay.
Tips?
Do some research into precisely what's offered on each trip - the Red Centre tour wasn't exactly what was predicted.
Local benefits?
Yes, except for Red Centre tour, which relied a lot on Aboriginal culture and settings, but seemed to involve no indigenous people.

Sue and I had a wonderful time on this 8 Day Self Guided Great Ocean Walk. This was our first trip with the holiday provider and our first trip to Australia.

Memorable parts?
The beautiful Lock House in Boroughbridge and the last day of walking including. Fountains Abbey was the best part because of the landscape being more interesting.
Tips?
Bring your best walking shoes. There is a lot of walking on asfalt, but still you need waterproof shoes because of the many crossings of fields.
Local benefits?
