Europe Self-guided tours and trips

We loved our walk through the Tuscan hills and gorgeous old towns. It was great to have our bags ready at each hotel and to not have to worry about where we were going to stay.

About 1/2 of the walking legs were too far. I think 6 to 8 miles per day is optimum. Two of the stays were not hotels but rather rooms with no reception. I prefer a small hotel with a receptionist.

We had the good fortune to arrive the week after Easter following the rainy spring. The whole area was covered in a stunning array of wildflowers. The hikes were great - not too much or too little and the accommodations just perfect!

Great selection of accommodation, good accompanying notes, great support - it was brill but the highlight was the confidence we had after a couple of days that our luggage was there in really well chosen accommodation.

We recently completed 6 days of walking along the Dale's Way path in the Yorkshire Dales area of Great Britain and they did a brilliant job making all the arrangements. There were a few glitches with the mobile App that was set up for our trip but with the map backups there was no real issue. The accommodations were all good to great, and it should be noted that if you don't heed their advice and book a table for dinner in certain restaurants, there won't be a table available. They did everything except guarantee the weather. Also note that if you're booked into the Winderemere Park Hotel in Windermere at the end of the Dales Way walk, it is a fair climb up the hill from Bowness, but there is a regular bus route that runs along the road. That would have been better than another uphill walk, and good information to have. All-in-all, a great trip and we were extremely happy with both Walkers Britain, and ourselves for making the trip.

They did a great job in preparing us for our 6 day / last 100km trek on the Camino de Santiago. Information was timely and accurate. Lodging was very good as were the dinners/breakfasts each day.
