All of our accommodations and transportation every place we visited in Greece on this trip were top notch. Comfortable and safe, and at each hotel location there was a lot to do within walking distance.
Long bus journey but worth it. Major sights visited in Istanbul city.
Gallipolli and Troy well worth visit,very interesting,hard to imagine human cost of war.Trenches still visable. Lots of archaeology at Troy and replica of wooden horse to go in. Good photo opportunities. Ephesus with ancient streets,roman toilets,columns,mosaics and carving of menorah. Amazing amphitheatre at Parmakeele,The Thermal Springs. Lots of people but lots of space. White rocks fab,water not warm,skin felt refreshed after dip. Hotels used were high quality. Breakfasts delicious. Time to visit museum shops and time for coffee break.
Guide allowed plenty of toilet stops.
Overall, the Conques to Cahors trip was fabulous with great accommodation and amazing hosts. However, there were a few little details that were not up to the same standard. Neither of us could get the navigation on the Guido app to work without constant errors and it was missing critical information, such as potable water fountains, cafes and supermarkets. I provided dietary information upon booking that I cannot eat pork, but was served pork for dinner on two occasions (not sure if that is just French hospitality or the information was not provided to the hosts). And our itinerary did not end up being as listed on the website, we had one day that was only 6.5kms and another day that was 28.5kms, which resulted in a very long day of walking.

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.

Perfectly organised. Loved the early morning departures to ensure no crowds at sights!
Both guides were very knowledgeable and entertaining, they both went out of their way to accommodate all.
Meals were excellent, loved the variety of buffet meals!
