Based in two centres, starting in Padstow then spending the second half of the week in Charlestown on the South coast. Our tour leader, Will, and his colleague Gaby, were prepared to go to any lengths to make sure we were fully supported. The walking required a decent level of fitness, the rating of 3 (moderate) is an accurate assessment, and my phone recorded 51 miles during the five days of walks (and 137,700 steps!).
The hotels were both good, although don't expect a sea view, and Will was always able to find us somewhere to eat despite COVID meaning there were a lot more tourists there than usual, and staffing was challenging for many of the restaurants.
The scenery is really lovely, both on the coast and inland, and lots of photos were taken and shared.

The island's breathtaking landscapes and diverse walking trails make it a paradise for nature enthusiasts and hikers. Each day was a new adventure, with outstanding walks that showcased Madeira's natural beauty, from lush forests to stunning coastal views. The itinerary allowed us to experience all that Madeira had to offer from off the beaten tracks to Funchal city.
What truly made this trip exceptional was our tour leader, Benny. He was fantastic at bringing our group together, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere that enhanced the entire experience. His knowledge and enthusiasm for the island were infectious, and he always made sure everyone was having a great time.
The weather was perfect throughout our stay, which only added to the enjoyment of exploring the island. Whether you're an avid hiker or just looking for a unique getaway, I wholeheartedly recommend a holiday in Madeira. It's an experience you won't forget!

This was a wonderful break. You stay at a number of very beautiful places: Scapello, Marettimo and San Vito La Capo. The walking is enjoyable but not too challenging. There are many opportunities to enjoy the food and culture of this part of Sicily; for example the town of Erice and the ancient site of Segasta. We also had a chance to spend an evening in Trapani and i would really recommend this too. I hadnt done self-guided walking before but really enjoyed it.
We went in April and the weather was super. Not too hot so perfect for walking and little rain.
We reach most of the major cities very late in the evening,thus we hardly see anything in those cities.May be day time excursions need to be planned better
Trek true to fitness/difficulty rating.
Hiking was paced well for our group.
