I really enjoyed this trip. It provided the right blend of organisation and flexibility to suit my preferences. All of the hotels were excellent and everyone was friendly and helpful. When I needed support, the response was swift. The walking instructions were usually clear and the downloaded GPX files allowed me to double-check when I was unsure. For me the estimated times were more than enough for breaks and photos. I would happily use them for any other walking holidays. Thanks!

We enjoyed our trip very much. Most of the trip notes and gps tracks were very helpful. However, there was one track on day 5 that instructed us to walk on the active fairway in a golf course! We looked at the map and determined there was a road that ran parallel to the track but not on the golf course. One of our group actually walked the golf course as indicated and ended up getting yelled at by golfers trying to play! This track needs to be reviewed. The hotels were all quiet, convenient to town and comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the days in St. Rémy.

A very worthwhile trip for this art ignoramus to gain an insight into the life and works of Vincent.

The walking instructions were very exact and the latest a taxi ever came was 3 minutes late. The other two were dead on time. The St-Remy accomodations was wonderful. The others were okay.
