MT TOUBKAL CLIMB
I had a great time: the landscape, the other people on the trek, the guide and muleteers, the physical effort, the sun, the wind. It was just as challenging as I wanted it, and as the colours are quite different from what you get in the European mounatins, definitely worth the trip!
Most Inspirational Moment
It-s hard to say, but I will go for the moment just before the peak of Toubkal when finally we could see over all the other mountains, that view was inspiring after the efforts to get up there, and the early start :)
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our guide (Lahcen and Hassan) was great, excellent at pacing and had a good feeling of how fresh people were. Plus a lovely chap, funny and very knowlegeable!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Not much, I recommend the trek, also good in terms of value for money I think. If you want a week off from work, take this one. The business of Marrakech and the peacefulness of the moauntains are great!

SIERRA DE AITANA TREK
The area is an attractive place to walk but certainly graded as moderate to difficult would be more appropriate as many areas were challenging, especially the scrambling (I personally enjoyed that but others in our group did not).
Most Inspirational Moment
Taking a few moments alone and basking in the quiet.
Thoughts on Group Leader
A fine guide but could perhaps be more considerate of the weaker members in the group; this would perhaps not be a problem if graded more accurately.

INCA TRAIL, TITICACA & NAZCA
Flights a DISASTER. Why on earth you use United Airways I can't think. Besides being regularly late there were 2 mechanical problems. After having recovered from our outward journey and feeling positive, we then had to suffer further problems. (Also the cabin crews generally were not particularly pleasant.) Saying that, the time in Peru was very good. The only down side was the long days travelling but I know there is no way around that.
Most Inspirational Moment
The trek was by far the best part of the holiday, and the superb views driving through the Andes.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader, Fab(rizzio) was brilliant. He dealt with everything we threw at him, all organisation was excellent. At times some of it appeared beyond his actual remit. He also coped (better than the rest of the group) with a couple of awkward members of the group.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for the long road journeys.

THE AMALFI COAST
I loved every minute, as a non walker, found some of the uphill walks tough, but was so pleased that I actually completed them, the views were well worth it.

WALKING IN ANDALUCIA
The scenery of Andalucia is dramatic and varied. The hotel was charming, with welcoming staff and superb, local cuisine. An excellent guide and a great bunch of fellow travellers all combined to make this a holiday to remember.
Most Inspirational Moment
Al fresco lunch at the deserted monastery.
Thoughts on Group Leader
The best pair of legs in the business! Highly motivating (Richie, not just his legs!) and very knowledgeable.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Consider hiring a car before or after this trip so that you can take in some of the other lovely places in the region.

AMALFI COAST & BAY OF NAPLES
Lots to see in a beautiful setting with a friendly hotel to return to each night.
Most Inspirational Moment
The 'Walk of the Gods' in brilliant sunshine. The sea was unbelievably blue and the spring wildflowers brightened the hillsides.
Thoughts on Group Leader
He was like a knowledgeable friend, always willing to do whatever was needed to make the holiday special.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Spring is lovely for the flowers, but make sure you bring warm clothing for the evenings.

DUBROVNIK & THE DALMATIAN COAST
It was city tours that made it for me. Firstly Split. Dubrovnik is a must visit city as it is so pretty only; wish had more time there. In contrast optional trip to Bosnia showed a much more deprived country profoundly showing the effect of recent conflict.
Also relaxation was aided by afternoon flights both ways – definitely worth exploring all flights available to achieve this even if don’t take offered group flight as airport transfers are inexpensive due to close proximity to airports.
Most Inspirational Moment
Walking City walls in Dubrovnik that fully circle old town allowing it to be viewed from many angles .
Walking part of Ston Wall which is in style of China wall followed by oysters.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Group leader was native so able to effectively share culture of country including top tips of places to eat.
Advice for Potential Travellers
As mentioned check for best flight times.
In May be prepared for some cool weather although we were lucky to have warm weather.

CYCLING IN SARDINIA
An exhilarating trip zipping along coastal roads gazing at plunging cliffs dipping into turquoise waters and pretty bays .Glimpses of ancient Phoenician cities, Spanish Towers and ancient mines enhance the views . Plenty of time to relax on a beach, enjoy the ferry and savour the delicious food and wine all in good company after a hard days cycle.
Most Inspirational Moment
The coastal scenery and a wow moment at every bend.Flamingoes flying . Festival procession we were lucky to witness that happens once a year in a small village.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent--attentive and fun. He worked well with Roberto who drove the van and acted as back up.Michelae was aware of the diffferent needs of the group and organised us well.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Relax and enjoy. The hills are quite challenging but in small bite size chunks.Remember low gear when cycling through a ford !!I went in May which is a good time to avoid the crowds and hot weather but enough to enjoy the beach.

WALKING IN TUSCANY
Hikes through stunning scenery, a tapestry of spring flowers and the best icecream in the world – a winning combination.
Most Inspirational Moment
Every day was an inspiration. Starting our first walk in pouring rain was a challenge but it brought the group together. Reaching the summit of the highest peak in Tuscany with everyone who had started the walk (including Elvis, but that is another story) gave a great sense of achievement. Coming across a moutainside covered with crocuses and another white with narcissus flowers was a reward for all the effort.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Sara is everything you would want in a leader. She is highly experienced, has enormous local knowledge and makes you feel entirely safe with her overwhelming competence. Alongside all that professionalism, she is also great fun. The birthday celebrations she put on for one of our group are a fine example of how she goes that step further to ensure everyone has a good time.
Advice for Potential Travellers
I had not imagined the hills of Tuscany would be so high - don't be fooled by images of the south of the region - and some of them can be a little scary. Despite everything you might imagine it can and does rain in May (and possibly other months) and it can be very cold when you are up the mountain so do take your waterproofs and gloves. On the other hand, pack your swimming things as it can also be lovely and warm in the valley when you get back from your walk.
