Having worked with them on a trip in Northern Italy last year, I was confident they would deliver a great experience.
They did. From the quality of the hotels, included meals, the navigation app used down to the distances covered each day, everything was well thought out and first rate.
Along the way I met other walkers who’d used other companies. Every single one had a complaint about the company they used. I had no complaints and recommended them repeatedly along the route. I’m already making arrangements for an Italian walk next year with this company.

While I don’t really think anyone should be setting foot on this pristine wilderness, the planning and management of the sailing and Zodiac experiences raised customers’ consciousness of the potential damage. We were expected to walk in each other’s footprints to avoid damage to the fragile plants and soils, but in reality the terrain, and some of the attitudes, made this very difficult. It was sad to see tiny saxifrage plants ground into mud, aged lichens kicked off rocks. Even sea ice must be damaged by the ship. We did learn a lot about the environment and the ship seemed better suited than others.
But should anyone be going for fun and exacerbating the climate related destruction?

We had the best time on the Greek Caique Cruise. The itinerary was fantastic and Thanos knew everything and everyone. We swam off the boat every day and when we docked in various ports Thanos was able to point us to the best places to go, organise taxis for us if necessary and in the evening recommend the best restaurants.

This tour gave a wonderful mix of culture, scenery, and wine. From Lisbon’s iconic sites to the serene Douro Valley, everything was carefully planned. I loved every part of it!
The low season Amalfi Coast walking holiday is highly recommended. The tour leader Matteo was knowledgable and enthusiastic about his home town and villages and made the whole area come to life with his local inside knowledge of the history, the people, and the walking routes. We got to explore and visit most of the 13 towns and villages on paths, many many steps and also using some public and private buses. In the early season we saw hardly any other walkers or tourists, making for easy walking and visiting, with spectacular views of the coast and valleys. The tour was well organised, with easy booking and good communication from the team. The hotel was comfortable and the planned itinary was interesting with walking that was sometimes a little challenging with lots of up and down hill, but at an achieveable pace, broken up with many facts about the area and time to explore.

The whole experience exceeded my expectations. The guide was really knowledgeable, informative and a joy. I learnt a great deal in relation to the culture and food delights of Turkey. The walking experience was outstanding. I would highly recommend this experience as away to see Turkey.

This was a very interesting and well organised tour. I enjoyed all the activities and there was a good mix of food and location.
The main problem was the quality of two of the hotels. The First in Bordeaux was very small and had no air-conditioning, which was unfortunate as we were experiencing a heat wave. The room in the final hotel in Toulouse was rather grubby and again very small. For a tour that cost over £2000 I feel this was unacceptable and I would’ve preferred even a chain hotel such as ibis where one can at least expect air-conditioning and a level of cleanliness for a similar price.

Excellent trip and very good guide in AJ.
Only negative was hotel in Florence. Good location (change from original hotel) but was tired and cleanliness could have been better. Very cramped solo room 🙁
Highlights were Pienza and Castellina in Chianti. Great hotels, beautiful walks and really good food and wine. 😀
