Walking Holiday Reviews
- After each walking holiday we provide a comprehensive feedback form which covers many aspects of the holiday. The below testimonials are a combination of email quotes from clients and from the feedback form itself
- " Both my wife and I were very new to walking any distances over 4 miles so to complete a walk of over 35 miles was indeed a challenge ! But with the support of Tony and the back-up of excellent directional notes we never felt out of our depth...and after each day we got to our destination to find everything in its place, bags delivered and superb accommodation. What more could you wish for ? "

- " This holiday was super. The weather wasn't great but Tony kept us interested and entertained and the comfortable B&Bs were very welcome. We enjoyed learning about the history aspect of this walk as well as simply being in Yorkshire countryside. Thank you Tony "

Prior Richard Way, Direct, July 2017
- " Tony was friendly and interesting and I was very comfortable walking with him. He knew the route very well and was able to deal with the need to divert part of the walk without incident. He was ever mindful of safety which was reassuring.
- I found out about Abbey Walks quite by accident and am very glad I did. I enjoyed the route immensely, All the arrangements made by Tony and Rachel were excellent and I was well looked after all the way along. The holiday was very good value for money. "

Prior Richard Way, via Ripon Cathedral, March 2017
- " The whole holiday was very enjoyable. Tony was an excellent guide with lots of knowledge about the local surroundings as well as the historical buildings. Although I only booked for 2 days, Tony made sure there was a taxi waiting for me as I arrived by train and even ensured there was a cup of tea for me at the bed and breakfast where I met the leaders and the other guests. The pace of the walks was good with enough time for breaks, cafe stops and to look around Ripon Cathedral, Boroughbridge and Fountains Abbey. "

- " I have had the opportunity to walk with Tony on short walks in the UK and for three weeks in Italy. He has a relaxed easy manner, gentle, communicative and friendly. As an experienced walk leader and guide Tony is measured and caring, taking full account of the abilities of those he is leading, the weather and walking conditions, making sure everyone is safe and enjoying the experience. He is a safe, unflappable pair of hands with a cheeky sense of humour. I happily recommend him as a guide. "
