The overall trip went quite well. We had a few surprises finding our accommodations being away from our destination, however we were well looked after once we arrived. The app helped us navigate throughout our trip by providing directions as well as information regarding services and travel tips. I will consider using them for my future adventure plans.

The walking was absolutely fantastic. The accommodation was really good and the food was amazing. You were never left feeling like you hadn't had enough to eat. The app was a little disappointing as it hardly ever worked correctly and it often mentioned there were no food stops available when there clearly were. This may need to be addressed in the future and it would make this trip a 10/10.

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.

We were not prepared for the rocky paths underfoot and especially the steep rock descents. Gites and hosts all great, lovely fellow walkers
