The tour was very well organised. Our guide, Jolita was friendly, helpful and a fun person. It was an added bonus that the group was relatively small, 9people only. The transport minibus was comfortable and the drivers were excellent and helpful with the luggage. We enjoyed all the sites we visited and I would not recommend changing any of it. All accommodations were clean, comfortable and some really nice ones. I would definitely recommend this trip to others.
I am not sure that the right word is inspirational, but Plokstine was the most memorable impression of the trip and very enlightening.
Jolita was excellent, friendly and helpful, made sure the group stayed cohesive and she was fun too.
Bring warm clothes, waterproof shoes and clothes!
A great week of interesting walks through the various valleys of Cappadocia. Unique scenery and rock formations – a place not to be missed.
Although all the walks were good, my preference was the Ilhara valley. One of the reasons for this was the wildlife we saw beside the river that gave an additional dimension. I also very much enjoyed seeing the hot air balloons passing over our hotel and getting up early on a couple of mornings to photograph them.
Ilhan was great. He managed the group and individuals very well and even managed to teach us some Turkish. We enjoyed his information about the area and specifically the places we visited. We also enjoyed his stories and jokes on the bus. There was some heavy rain during our week. Ilhan changed the itinerary around so that it did not spoil any of the walks and even found us a tea house to shelter in during a particularly heavy downpour.
No - the description in the brochure was clear. The walking was not arduous at all. Moderate was the rating and that described it well.
The holiday was better than expected. The Picos are a spectacular range of mountains, and the Hotel, Hotel staff, and Group leader made the holiday one of the most memorable we’ve had.
What made this trip special were the other people on it. All twelve seemed to have something in common with the others. No loners, losers, or weirdos. Add to that a hotel staff that pulled out all the stops to ensure we enjoyed our stay, and a group leader who was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and witty ensured it was a holiday to remember.
Alvaro, the group leader, is a man in right the job. Brilliant
If you suffer from insect bites. Take antihistamine tablets, and anti mosquito spray with you.
The Garfagnana; a green valley of Tuscan rural heaven, sandwiched between two mountain ranges; the Appennines and the Alpi Apuani. Staying at a farmhouse providing us with hearty evening meals and wine, largely from their own produce, and walking in exhilarating mountains, followed by a dip in the refreshingly cold pool on our return. Wandering about Lucca, a mediaeval town still with its walls intact, on our day off. Last but not least, the good company, the craic.
Turning a corner whilst walking the ridge of Monte Prado, we came upon a small snowfield, in June! The view from a lookout point down the valley was a little piece of Via Ferrata; not for the vertigo-challenged!
Lizz was a mine of information about the area, and was a help whenever necessary, without imposing too much on the group's own chemistry; she got the mix just right. The farm's two dogs, Elvis & Dora came along for some of the walks, and their company was very much enjoyed by everyone; you always knew when Elvis had left the building!
Moderate fitness required for the trip, as some of the walks were steep, but no scrambling required. If you use poles (I don't), then should you forget your own, there are spares available. We had one or two wet interludes during the week, but nothing a waterproof jacket couldn't deal with. We met a huge (nearly 30) party of Poles of varying ages & abilities on one trip, just as the weather was breaking, and were very grateful for our group being of a much more manageable size (around 10) on what could have been a tricky, slippery descent.
A great trip exploring the beautiful Aeolian islands on foot. A good mix of structured activities and freetime with lots of sicilian food, wine and culture and amazing volcanic activity.
Walking around the crater of Stromboli with steam and sulphur from fumaroles and breathtaking views over the islands. Climbing Stromboli at dusk listening to the thunder of eruptions and watching the explosions and lava fountains in the dark and then descending ash slopes by moonlight. Wine and antipasti evening at Gilberto and Eva in Lipari Descent of Etna and snow covered black ash craters with amazing thunder and lightening show! Watching dolphins leaping off the Bow of the boat on the way to Stromboli lovely coastal walk on the free day with superb views
Maria was excellent, she managed expectations from the start but delivered well above them. She watched the whole group and gave as much or as little attention as people wanted. She was attentive without being smothering. she had lots of suggestions for free time and good recommendations for eating. i think she did a very good job and gave up her free time in catania to eat with the group at a local restaurant on the last night.
A lot of this trip is weather dependent. if the wind is in the wrong direction then its not safe to walk all the way round the rim of vulcano and if the sea is rough the boats cant cross so be prepared for changes of plan. Walking is quite challenging due to heat rather than difficulty, i found poles a great help. The beaches are all volcanic and sharp stones so water shoes are advisable. sicily is chaotic and timetables can be rather flexible so be warned patience is required on this trip!
A very good experience
It was all good
Very good
Do not go in mid summer. Too Hot
Excellent holiday. The challenging week was – well challenging! – but very satisfying too. The walks were varied, thro’ amazing scenery with wildlife – butterflies, birds, geckos etc – not to mention cows and horses. A stunningly beautiful area.
Hotel good – excellent packed lunches and dinners. Very friendly.
Difficult to choose. The Cares Gorge was what I'd been looking forward to and was breathtaking.
Alvado really understood how to be a good leader. He knew the area well, he recognised whenever someone needed an extra bit of support, he had an excellent sense of humour and could laugh at himself too!
A fantastic trip in beautiful scenery from mountains to vineyards. The guide was amazing (Jose) endless knowledge and tireless in answering our questions, helping out and generally great company. The ride was challenging in parts, but overall manageable, with plently of stops for coffee.
Arriving at the top of a 12 km climb to the view from O Cebreiro. A beautiful old stone village with cobbled streets and awesome views across the mountains. Well worth the pain of the climb in 31 degree heat
Jose was fantastic, tireless and very patient. He was great company in the evenings and certainly knew the best places to eat. He seems still really enthusiatic and passionate about the tour and the region, despite having done it many times before.
Make sure you have general all round fitness, but if you go steady you should manage it. Also dont eat a three course meal at lunch and then try to bike up a big hill!!
A great trip in the most extraordinary landscape. Challenging but doable for the not so young or fit ! Very comfortable family run hotel in a quiet village.
Hard to say as it was all most enjoyable. I felt a sense of achievement every day as I was considerably less fit than most of my group but I still got there in the end! I was really pleased to see so many wild flowers despite being told that the spring flowers were over.
He was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of his country and had a thorough knowledge of the paths and tracks in the area in which we were walking. He very capably juggled our itinerary to cope with at times difficult weather conditions, making sure that we were safe and did not miss any of the highlights, and in fact adding a few extras.
Wet weather gear! We had some torrential rainstorms but were always conveniently nearby local cafés !
Amazing trip which packs in so much in two weeks it’s hard to believe. From the brilliant amazon to the truly stunning inca trail.
Quite a few, playing football in the amazon was good and watching the sunset on the island in lake Titicaca were great, but the third day of the inca trail walking through the mountains was something else.
Wilfredo was a brilliant fella who never found anything to much trouble, knowledgeable and always approachable. Even taking the time on his free day in Cusco to show us around.
This is a once in life time trip, just go (also wet wipes come in handy camping for four days )
