“Thank you for organising a thoroughly enjoyable walking holiday. Everything went very smoothly. The taxi companies were happy to adjust timings when necessary and the accommodation was excellent. All in all, a really worthwhile and beautiful holiday for which I am most grateful.”
Miss Williams, UK

“Hadrian's Wall is a beautiful part of England. It was really well organised, everyone was friendly and helpful. We postponed twice because of Covid but did so without any difficulty at all.”
Mrs Boon, UK

“The two sections we walked were stunning and others who were walking the whole of Hadrian’s Wall said that these were by far the best sections.”
Mrs Beard, Australia

“Everything was painless, the information provided was up to date and correct and everything was attended to promptly.”
Dr Campbell, Australia

“It was a challenge which we felt happy to have achieved, never having done such a holiday before. All the directions, pick-ups and places to stay worked well, and it was fascinating to see so much of the Wall, with the forts, milecastles and turrets still remaining along the route.”
Ms DeKauwe, UK

“Very well organised and nice weather! Wanted to carry on at the end of the 3 days.”
Mrs Elkin, UK
