Our walking holiday was a wonderful experience. Scenery was stunning. Food was amazing and the people in our group were fun and interesting to travel with. Lots of laughs. Travel to a wonderful range of towns and cities was a great experience and accommodation was luxurious. The breaks between walks allowed us to experience local culture too. The walks were harder than most people expected even those who had been on previous hiking holidays. It was really good to be able to take a day off walking if we chose to" |
Journey Back in Time was a wonderful, variety filled trip. From the remote white villages and the surrounding beautiful mountain hikes to the fascinating ancient cities/towns of Spain and Portugal. Quite different from the rest of Europe, we loved it, friendly, outgoing people who love to sing, dance and drink. Enjoyed our final days in the Duoro Valley, hiking among the vineyards overlooking the river. Well put together by Walkabout, again!" |
This is a wonderful trip covering Southern Spain and Portugal. Loved every town/city and the accommodation was excellent. We had a wonderful cohesive group and there was no shortage of laughter throughout our journey. Great to see Gabriela again and to meet new guide, Olivier. The food of course met my expectations totally. The walks were challenging at times, and I would describe them as medium for my age group. The whole holiday has provided me with very good memories. Thanks Walkabout Gourmet!" |
The trip was teriffic, a great group, excellent food and accommodation and of course the wonderful guides. The places we went to I would never have found by myself." |
Challenging walking but a wonderful opportunity to see stunning countryside in Portugal and Spain. Perfect walking weather coupled with excellent accommodation and delicious local cuisine made the 3 weeks very memorable." |
We wanted to slow down and enjoy some exercise, good food and accommodation without having to plan it all. Bingo on all counts! It was a fab time with highlights including a wonderful guided tour of the Alhambra, a great stay in Ronda and the Sagres wildflowers. Gabriella's experience, local knowledge and contacts were excellent - we had memorable meals including at a water mill near Ronda, on the beach near Tarifa and at a winery in the Douro Valley. The walks were through quiet countryside, sometimes more challenging than anticipated. The very small group was great company and the guides were enthusiastic and committed." |
Enjoyed the walks, and understanding of the pilgrimage. Our guide, Pascal added to the experience." Sandra from Brisbane, QLD Australia [2018] |
The Pilgrim's Way is a completely different way to see and understand northern Spain. Apart from the magnificent scenery and fantastic location - the Paradors of Spain have to be experienced to be believed! - walking the Pilgrim's Way and having the opportunity to visit places like Leon, Burgos and Santiago de Compostela, as well as the villages along the way, gave me a whole new insight into part of Spain's history. Ainhoa in France and the Hotel Ithurria were also fabulous as our starting point. Even though it's been 10 years since I travelled (through Italy) with Walkabout Gourmet, WGA has lost none of its expertise in organisation, support, great company and showing off some of Europe's finest in terms of food, wine, walking trails, and places to stay. I've already been checking out the brochure for my next WG trip!" Lorne, Orange NSW, Australia [2017] |
We really enjoyed the Pilgrim's Path trip - beautiful scenery and lovely historic places to stay in. And Graeme was a very good guide as he always is and very helpful with David who developed muscle problems. We are hoping to go on walking next year with him - another Snail Trail like we did last year would be good! Keep up the good work and hopefully see you next year!" David and Helen, Prince Henry Heights, QLD, Australia [2017] |
This was my second trip with WGA, the first one being Follow the Gourmet Trail in Italy in 2014. The Pilgrims Way surpassed all my expectations. The cuisine was wonderful, as was the accommodation in the historic Paradores of Spain. However, for me, the highlight of the trip was the chance to experience the Camino. Walking with, and chatting to the pilgrims who walk the whole 790kms was something I will never forget - and has in fact inspired me to perhaps give it a go one day. Graeme, our guide, was fantastic. His knowledge of the Camino and his ability to impart to us the significance of this walk for the pilgrims made such a difference. Thank you, WGA! I look forward to my next adventure."
