My husband and I recently completed a Walking Holiday of the Amalfi Coast for 11 days, which was absolutely fantastic and the highlight of our trip to Italy. The travel agents who organised the tour Anja and Samo were very helpful, adjusting and customising it to suit our requests. The accomodation booked for us was very comfortable and the transfer of our luggage from hotel to hotel took place with no issues. Our hiking guides including Alessandra, Marcella and Diego were all exceptional. They were friendly, supportive and extremely knowledgable about the towns and regions we walked in. They ensured we had a fantastic experience creating memories, while enjoying the walking, the amazing views, the tasty food and the beautiful Italian culture. I highly recommend this walking tour and would encourage anyone who was planning a similar holiday to book through this company. It was a great way to see and experience the Amalfi Coast.
1) Stunningly beautiful places with perfect weather! Good balance of countryside and old city walking. 2) The Trip App was incredible!!! 5 stars! Loved the write ups on each location. The links to all restaurants, hotels, attractions, tickets! The GPS app also worked. 3) PERFECTLY located hotels and rooms with two beds and thoughtful staff! Loved being right in the old towns with amazing views. I did not mind carrying bags up or down in order to have the locations but much appreciated when we did have help with this 4) Breakfast being included with the rooms (even though there was a mix up the first morning). I don't like to have to plan breakfast spots and the buffets were incredible. 5) The kindness and promptness of the drivers, Nice transport vehicles and easy drop off and pick up points. Plus help with our bags. 6) The Walking Holidays Croatia team was helpful and easy to work with. We appreciate all they did to customize out trip.
Our walk was brilliant. The maps provided made everything so simple and the accomodation was very good. Having everything organised and nothing to pay for made it so smooth. We were so lucky with the Weather. Only the last 1/2 day was wet. I’m looking forward to our next walk with hut to hut
Did the Eastern Madeira walking holiday. The hikes were lovely though some were crowded. But they were crowded cause the view was great. So can't skip loved the ocean side cliffs for a couple days and then the forests along levadas. We had a misunderstanding with the driver as he thought we should have finished sooner. So give them a reasonable estimate. He never asked and his estimate caused all the issues. But we whatsapped the company and they set it straight. Food is good in the towns. We packed lunch everyday as some of those places along the way had long lines. We went a day early and did a sightseeing day with their driver and it also helped with jet lag. Hikes are pretty moderate, so you have energy to enjoy the town in the evenings. The Island is beautiful ❤️
Hiking Tours, and particularly Suzana, ensured our family hiking trip to the Peaks of the Balkans was wonderfully organised and tailored to our requests. Suzana's patience and positive approach was evident in how graciously she responded to our need for luggage transfers, altered hiking routes and accommodation preferences. The guidebook provided by Hiking Tours, including accurate 'Ride with GPS', was comprehensive and extremely helpful. Despite the excellent planning by Hiking Tours hiking can throw some curve balls but Hiking Tours also works with some amazing locals in the Balkans - incredibly appreciative of Alen from Samel's Cottage in Montenegro (and his many contacts) who was so kind helping unwell or injured members of our hiking group reach destinations safely. Overall, despite the challenging terrain and distances, the Peaks of the Balkans trails are a beautiful and varied adventure, and well worth the (for some of us, considerable) effort. We look forward to hiking another amazing route with Hiking Tours.
Anja at World Discovery designed an 10 day hike along the Parenzana trail from Muggia, Italy to Porec in Croatia. She took considerable trouble to tailor the trek to our requirements and in the main it was very good. Some beautiful accommodation ranging from hotels to some wonderful small b&b's and apartments. World Discovery provide an App for the itinerary with links to Ride with GPS, a good mapping system that kept us on the right route even when signage was a bit sparse. The route took us from coast to coast through stunning scenery and we visited a number of beautiful villages and towns. The trail is an old railway track, mostly used by cyclists but perfectly ok to hike along although in some areas, stopping points are few and far between! We loved the area, the people (some of our hosts were superb), the food and the wine! The weather, in September, was kind with only one wet day. Highly recommended
