1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
The landscapes. The walking. The people met along the way.
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
I discovered that given my level of fitness and my desire to wander en-route, and stop and explore, my ideal walking distance per day is no more than 10 miles.
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Absolutely.
4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
It was very well organized. Went very smoothly from start to finish. The accommodations were lovely. A few places could do with room upgrade but the people were warm welcome and willingness to help out made up for it.
It was a wonderfully memorable vacation and I am looking forward to booking another one as soon as I can.
Thank you!
