Mediterranean Walking Trips

Despite being incredibly hot, this was a fantastic week. Gaia our guide was excellent and kept us in the shade as much as possible. The Amalfi coast behind the main towns is stunning and the views amazing. Lovely group of people too! Perfect for solo travel. Enough free time and flexibility to please everyone. Agritourismo was as you'd expect and great to feel part of a bit of day to day life. Couple of impromptu stops which were a lot of fun.

Our guide David was excellent... he literally moved the earth to make our trail passible. He was kind and friendly and seemed to enjoy our company, even when he didn't have to! Also, the hikes were not for amateurs. My husband and I, while fit, are not used to the kind of boulder scrambling we had to do. David made sure we were ok, but I would just caution potential joiners that they should be comfortable with some technical sections! I would recommend good hiking poles if you are taking this trip. Also, Andorra is BEAUTIFUL!!

The five day hiking trip was incredible. Our guide was such a supper supportive leader! Excellent way to visit the Amalfi coast. The Agrotourism farm stay was a nice farm however, you might want to bring some earplugs. The rooster goes off very early, there’s quite a few neighboring dogs barking and the cute occasional donkey sounds as well. Creates ambience. I would suggest perhaps only a couple evening meals on the farm instead of four nights to be able to try out local restaurants in the surrounding village, also to incorporate one or two lunches in the surrounding villages we hiked through during lunchtime to experience more local variety, cuisine and support tourism and in other small villages. It was well run like clockwork from door to door service! Thank you! I’ll book another tour with Explore!

I was very pleased with the accommodations and service provided. I had a wonderful experience on the Via Podiensis. Thank you!

Very good trip, based in a quiet village setting where there were excellent restaurant and bar facilities. The accommodation was excellent and prepared meals to restaurant standards. The only downside for me was some of the walks ended with some free time in busy tourist destinations that were extremely overcrowded, very expensive and in the hot weather, uncomfortable.

Overall I was really pleased with my trip. We had a few minor issues - our bags not being delivered to our hotel on our first walking day, the taxi driver of one of our scheduled transfers wanted to change the time of our morning transfer to a later time which did not suit us, and one of the hotels we stayed in I would not recommend.
