Great holiday but should have been longer. Travellers for this trip need to be fit, prepared for steep climbs and humid weather, ‘moderate’ is not an accurate assessment of the walks. Admittedly 3 – 4mph is a bit of a give away, that said definitely a trip to repeat, this is a beautiful part of the world.
All of it, a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Great personality, totally suited to working with people, a friend to all.
Read the small print, this is not for the faint hearted and the initial description does not really prepare you for what is to come - 'moderate / strenuous' would be more appropriate. Also prepare to acclimatise to humid conditions. Great holiday and to be thoroughly recommended.
An incredible week exploring Sicily! We toured food markets, made pasta from scratch, did an olive oil tasting at a local farm, saw fresh burrata being made at a buffalo farm then sampled cheese products, went to a beautiful winery on Mt Etna, then did a hike to the Volcanos craters. We learned so much about Sicily’s history, and culture, and of course, had lots of delicious food and wine!! I am already planning my next trip to Sicily!
all the local experiences (family run cheese farm, olive oil, wineries, cooking classes, etc)
Veronica was amazing - so knowledgeable and passionate about Sicily! Marco our driver was also great!
Book a post-night in Catania! After an incredible week of exploring the island, it is nice to spend one extra day by the seaside or exploring the city of Catania
The coast of Portugal offers varied terrain and great opportunity for hiking and to be guided by Francisco and Ines made it even better. Their knowledge about the area is extensive and they took time and effort to ensure everyone achieved what they wanted from the trip. I cannot recommend this trip enough – it truly was an amazing week.
Nesting storks and dramatic coast line
Very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information. So friendly and ensured everyone had a fabulous time
Just go - don't miss the opportunity to experience this unspoilt area
A really excellent tour. I don’t think I can find fault with anything. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The locations visited were incredible and we saw an amazing amount of wildlife with the help of our guide. The accommodation was good and the transport between locations was very good.
Standing in a "Hummingbird Garden" with hummingbirds zipping around me. Seeing crocodiles, sloths,toucans, coats, agouti, macaws.... Going on a night walk in the rainforest and finding many different kinds of frogs and snakes
He was absolutely excellent. He was very well organised, he'd a fantastic knowledge base and was clearly passionate about his country, its environment and its wildlife
This is a really incredible trip, you should go if you possibly can
A Great two weeks in Japan. Great people friendly, very helpful and polite.
The Kumano Kudo was a little disappointing as there were very few spectacular views. 4 days walking 2 of which it rained consistently. The walk is mainly through dense woodlands so main view was trees. Onsens were great in most places but the two nights in the Sarashinaya Japanese Style Inn was very disappointing, a lot of traffic noise and the futon beds were very thin and uncomfortable, the onsen was in a poor state. The option to dig your own onsen by the river, not a great one when it is raining. Really not a great choice Exodus!
Our leader was very good but lacked some knowledge on the Nara area as he was from closer to Tokyo. Overall a good leader, very attentive to some customer excessive requirements. A very likeable chap.
Out of the 2 weeks (in May) it rained 2 days a week, and I mean rained non stop for 2 days so waterproofs a must, along with an umbrella. Other days were high twenties and at times very humid. You should be prepared for long steep climbs, head down and huff and puff to the top.
Lovely holiday in a good hotel central to small town. Walking through a variety of terrains. Although billed as walking in the Prosecco Hills I hadn’t realised we’d be drinking quite so much Prosecco!
Walking through the vineyards in the sunshine, and the church with beautiful frescoes in Pieve de Soligo.
Mattia was a good leader. Very supportive and caring when walkers struggled by walking with them or slowly in front to pace for them. Good local knowledge.
Although billed as level 2, I think that’s due to the Treviso day which is a sightseeing tour then a flat walk by the river. The other 4 days are a level 3. Walking is either steep up or steep down, not a lot of on the level walking. Last day is up very high. Mattia said it would be cold, would have been better to say it would be 5 degrees. (It was 20 degrees normally). Much tougher walking and with the altitude. Beautiful walk though and great views. Take travel pills if you don’t travel well on that day as lots of hairpin bends as we climbed to near the top. But I get vertigo and I was okay on the walk and the drive up, but one of the group found the drive up and down a bit concerning. A brolly is also useful as rain is straight down and no wind. Also walking pole.
Excellent holiday and guide . Despite the rain we had a wonderful time . Good itinerary especially Matera
Matera , and learning about the “ shame of Italy “
Excellent . I was not able to do a couple of the walks due to knee pain , but Joanna was so helpful arranging alternatives and taxis A very caring leader
Not really that’s easy walking . Take walking boots and sticks . Some difficult paths on the ridge of Matera
Accommodation was very good. Trip notes were accurate. Weather was unexpectedly cold and wet much of the time.
Getting to the high point of Tuscany, Monte Prado, on one of the good weather days.
Excellent. She was very knowledgeable about the area and juggled the itinerary to get the most of the good weather days. She also organised all the travel details for our day-off trip to Lucca, complete with tour suggestions when there.
It may not be as warm as you expect in May.
Everyone had told me how wonderful Puglia was, so my expectations were high, but I have to admit I was a bit disappointed in the scenery. This trip is more about visiting the trulli houses in Alberobello and the ancient city of Matera, which were both fascinating and it was interesting to learn about the history of both. But the walks were not the most interesting, apart from the beautiful spring flowers and the second from last one, across the ravine from Matera. It was a shame the suspension bridge was out of action. Matera was wonderful. We had a 2 hour guided tour, but it was a shame it was done after we had been on a walk in the morning, followed by a lengthy lunch at the pasta laboratory – not to be recommended due to the surly manager! The trip was slightly marred by a few days of rain. The accommodation was all very good and we were lucky that the group all gelled well, with positive good humour. The food was very good
Matera. Fascinating to wander the streets. You enter down steps from the larger, new city but once in the old city, the views are incredible.
Joana was an excellent guide. Very helpful and worked hard to ensure everyone was ok
On our free day we went to Polignano and Monopoli and were very pleased that we had. Both are by the sea and wonderful scenery and small, quiet streets to wander around. If you are expecting this trip to be one of excellent walks, this may not be the right one. It is an expensive trip, with the single supplement and I didn’t feel it was good value. The food is expensive, but generally very good. We only had short time on the beach after the walk from the farmhouse. Not really enough time for a swim and the sea was quite rough. Hardly worth taking a costume, although the farmhouse had a pool, so in summer, you could swim there.
A brilliant week hiking Portugal’s stunning south-west coast! Spectacular cliff-top views and fascinating wildlife – from swifts and storks to peregrine falcons. Transport, food and hotels all excellent (especially the hotel in Sagres, wow!). But all made that much more enjoyable and memorable thanks to the extraordinary efforts of our fantastic guides: Ines and Francisco. Their knowledge, professionalism, efficiency and attention to detail was exemplary, going way above and beyond all expectations. Thank you!
Ines and Francisco - both truly excellent.
