All the walks were varied, interesting and each memorable

I think my favourite walk was the one which started from Rosas and took
us along the coast through the pines for the first two thirds, so that we swam twice in two different bays before heading off up the mountains.

Hard to choose between seeing the most spectacular sunrises from my terrace with a pot of coffee or standing on a high point on a nearby hill, able to see the sea on the horizon and the lunar landscape and mountains to my left. (more)Briony Turner
The highlight was the spectacular walks offering such amazing views. During our 5 days in Lubrin we did three of the long walks and we thoroughly enjoyed walking through the foothills as well as high in the mountain tops, just stunning. (more)Annette Easton

Traveling through the Archipelago was one of the most memorable parts of the vacation. (more)Felicity Bond
There were endless memorable moments: tramping along the Soderlandsleden very well-waymarked trail, through the woods; exploring the islands at Stendorren and Savo; seeing creatures we hadn't see before, such as a slow worm, an otter, a white-tailed sea eagle... (more)Bronwen Davies

Our hosts, Lucy and Angel, were brilliant. Angel picked us up from the airport and the vacation started right there. He is a mine of local information and our journey was punctuated by him picking out the spectacular flora and fauna of the region - buzzards, vultures and other local wildlife. Lucy put together for us a 50-mile walking itinerary for the next six days which started with Angel leading us on a personal 2-hour hike to see the local landmarks. The schedule then...

This trip was exactly what I had envisioned. It was a trek at lower altitude than the treks to Anapurna and Everest base camps. That meant that the trek was
somewhat easier than at higher altitude, but was still enough to provide a challenge. In contrast to those treks, it was non-commercial. During the week of
the trek we saw only local people. The lifestyle of the people we saw has changed little over time. Stays were in people's homes, where we shared the food that... (more)Bryan Salte

Our guide, Daphnie, was superb, being always willing to adjust the itinerary to suit people and/or weather, the walking and scenery is incredible, the hotels ideally located in small seaside towns, and the restaurants recommended for us throughout the vacation gave us a perfect 'taste of Greece'. (more)Jim Frame
The fact that our excellent Greek guide was able to give us so much information about the islands, and also about Greek life in general. Through her we met a number of locals and felt it was altogether a very Greek experience. (more)Christa Laird
It was an enjoyable experience but we were not expecting the walks were going to be on trails rather than rocky paths. (more)Eric Middleton

The visit to Kastro was very enjoyable. The walk it was good, the town was beautiful at dusk and our dinner was very enjoyable with live local musicians. (more)Leanne Nicholson
The hikes were thoughtfully selected as they were scenic, exposed us to local culture/lifestyle and mileage covered was sufficiently challenging. Excellent trip. (more)Sze Mei Lim

The beautiful Lock House in Boroughbridge and the last day of walking including. Fountains Abbey was the best part because of the landscape being more interesting.

Scenery - simply stunning. The weather was kind to us and we got bright sharp days of sun and snow to see the mountains and forests.

The magnificent scenery, food and people of Iceland.
Tips?
The food experience was excellent [lamb and fish..we stayed away from whale and puffin..!] even in the smallest of guesthouses and towns..but dining out was
expensive [by Australian standards].
Next trip we will try to prepare our own dinner perhaps every second night.
Be careful on the roads...generally no road shoulders and lots of one way [often blind] bridges..just be aware.

made our adventure truly memorable. (more)Judy Mathwin
The most memorable was walking beside the sea. Fabulous. Stages were the right length, comfortable but varied hotels. Lovely people. The trail is spectacular and Im pleased we started from the beginning and saw some of the inland. Portugal is easier for vegetarians than other European countries. Fresh, wholesome food.

different landscapes we walked through surprised and delighted us. The effectiveness of the route marking was also great. The vacation providers team was hugely... (more)Carolyne Mason
