It was a perfect vacation... The lodging was excellent nestled in greens with lots of hiking and biking trails to choose from, all meticulously planned out by the owner Peter. Food was superb, prepared by Carolyn, Peters wife who ran the place immaculately. This place is actually perfect or simply lazing around for a few days, sipping on limitless wine and taking a dip in the pool.

We have been on many walks throughout the world, however this is only our second self guided walk, but we thought it was particularly special. When you look at a map you realise that you are not that far from the plains of Bergamo and Milan, but from day 1 you step into a different world of peaceful landscapes, beautiful local villages (more)Alan Peggie

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.

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.

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.

A truly special experience in a little corner of the Mercantour where time seems to have stood still. We went with the flow of life at the pace of an ambling
donkey. Every detail of the trip was well thought out, and the route guidance booklet (which we carried with us all the time) was spot on. The range of
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
