First class. Lucy and Simon could not have been more helpful and accommodating and so knowledgeable. (more)Diane Hall
Watching bearded & gryphon vultures flying in the foothills of the Pyrenees was memorable. Brilliant guide, fabulous scenery, not difficult walking. A good mix of walking/cooking/geology/local culture and all in a quiet place: lovely scenery & very friendly company. (more)Anna Avery
Meeting a great bunch of like minded people on our trip including our hosts. The mix of activities we did worked really well, not just the cooking and walking but also everything else we managed to do including wine tasting, visiting the olive oil co-operative, evening visits to local historical town, and more.

It was fantastic. We loved it (even when it rained). (more)Lucy Chadwick
Travelling with a Donkey as companion - a delightful character. We were early in the season so it was very quiet . . . . and the Alpine Flowers were wonderful. (more)John Tyler
Our children would say Kaia, our donkey who they bonded with was the most memorable. For me, the emptiness and the views. Possibly my favourite spot of all was the Chappelle St-Barnabe near Val Pelens where we whiled away a couple of hours in glorious sunshine with spectacular views. (more)Rob Booth

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
We were impressed with the beauty of Sweden and how easy it was to travel around. (more)Sharon Reardon

It was a perfect holiday... The lodging was excellent nestled in greens with lots of hiking and biking trails to choose from, all meticulously planned out by the owner Peter. Food was superb, prepared by Carolyn, Peters wife who ran the place immaculately. This place is actually perfect or simply lazing around for a few days, sipping on limitless wine and taking a dip in the pool.

The most memorable part was the coastal walk and the beaches. Cadaques was exciting and we wished we were able to stay longer. It was also exciting to have completed the whole walk and we felt a sense of achievement.
(more)Karen Coombs
It was all fantastic, but the bird sanctuary was my favorite. Beautifully management and interpretive signage. Peaceful stroll. (more)Kate Long

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
The walking was the highlight. Very good value, excellent location but need a certain level of fitness, or at least an ability to manage a short, steep climb in and out of the village. (more)Denise Oakman

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

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.
Overall rating?
Excellent, all... (more)Amanda Eley

The most memorable was the quiet seductive beauty of the island of Kythnos and the sea. (more)Leonie Loudon
Kythnos is a relaxed, relatively unspoilt island. The walking was enjoyable, not too arduous & included different places of interest on route & the opportunity to swim most days on lovely beaches, which were almost deserted in mid October... (more)Jane Batstone

Crossing Thorung La pass was my favourite part. (more)Penny Rigby
The trekking was absolutely amazing! The views each day were breathtaking and the scenery changed by day - we went from lush green paddy fields to rocky morane and isolation to dessert - it was awesome. (more)Lindsey Bunn
The sights and views are what I will remember the most, as well as the different characters I encountered on the trail.

Superb....Everything was exciting: the weather, scenery, local food and drinks were marvellous (well, I don't think there's an appropriate adjective to describe the kind of emotions the environment provokes). (more)Alexander Kartashov
Enjoying nature and the small villages - I loved the local food we had when the taverna wasn't even open yet. (more)Jocelyn Wessling
Having a good meal after a long walk in a restaurant of the different villages we went through with water from the well, local wine, local food and a marvellous view on the landscape! (more)Zahava Seewald

Memorable parts?
The first two days of the Great Ocean Walk; also the Atherton tablelands stay.

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. We live in Seattle, Washington, USA and are looking forward to returning and doing more trips with holiday provider , which we highly recommend.
Before the trip, Amy at the holiday provider was very helpful and informative. We had requested dates which conflicted with a holiday weekend in Melbourne and did not permit... (more)Alan Sherbrooke

Very good. We enjoyed the quietness and the sense we were off the beaten track a little. People were amazingly welcoming in all the accommodation and the food delicious. The holiday was well planned, especially the interesting and varied accommodation. (more)Sheila Martinelli
We have been on many walks throughout the world, however this is only our second self guided walk, but we thought it was particularly special. When you look at a map you realise that you are not that far from the plains of Bergamo and Milan, but from day 1 you step into a different world of peaceful landscapes, beautiful local villages (more)Alan Peggie

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 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?
Yes, only small local companies were visited during our walk.

The entire holiday was memorable! From the moment we got there and were welcomed by our wonderful hosts at their beautiful B&B in the mountains, to
the stunning walk through the Alps, the freshly baked treats each morning, the market tour and all the amazing cheese, the cooking class using local or homegrown ingredients, the local tour, the passion of our hosts in sustainably revitalising their area and showing us how they were trying to achieve that, the pizza party.

Impossible to choose one single part! Staying in Ratmate village and participating in house building was certainly memorable - whilst this was such a happy and welcoming community, it was both shocking and humbling to see first-hand the scale of earthquake damage in the region and the difficulties they face in re-establishing a good standard of accommodation there. All of the trekking was really enjoyable with perhaps the highlight being the very early morning trek to Poon... (more)Eimear Hannigan
