East Africa Self-Guided Tours and Trips

We had a great walk along this beautiful coastline. On many occasions it was slow-going with ups and downs over rocky ground, but the scenery was just gorgeous. We loved the towns where we stayed and the hotels were all great. The food was delicious, particularly in Spain. We were pleased that we arranged extra days in Collioure and Cadaqués so we could soak up the atmosphere of the area.

Excellent trip. The hotels used were all very good. Clean and plenty of hot water. Breakfasts in each hotel were plentiful, with a wide choice for most palates. Locations were all good, and made starting the next day easy as we were en route for the next location. The app that was sent for the walks was really helpful. Clear directions and easy to follow — just make sure you have sufficient data on your phone.

Everything went very smoothly on my walk from León to Santiago de Compostela, to complete the French Camino route I started in 2023. Many thanks to the local partner, and the luggage transport team. Your expertise and efficiency made it an extremely enjoyable experience.

Before we started booking, we researched similar companies, and we're glad we chose them! They did a super job, from preparing the initial itinerary, to working with our changes, to providing outstanding accommodations throughout our Camino walk. The luggage transfers were all smooth — no glitches of any kind on our trip. We would highly recommend them.

What an amazing experience walking the Via Francigena. Walking from Orvieto to Bolsena was interesting, especially when I arrived at a crossroad and the directions were not clear. However, when I called the emergency number, the gentleman on the other end was extremely helpful and wouldn't get off the phone until I was back on the right track and had entered Bolsena. The rest of the journey was clearly marked. Signs were everywhere. I did it as a self-guided tour and at no point did I feel threatened by anything, nor scared nor anxious. The accommodation was as expected but, most importantly, it was clean.

Had a great time walking with 10 friends. The planning went smoothly thanks to the Auckland office staff. Everything was spot on - the accommodation, the meals, the information provided. Excellent.
