Daja Gorišek was the travel agent from here who meticulously organised the trek all the way from Meiringen to Lenk im Simmental. She took care of all the details -- from planning the actual trek route, the detailed GPS map for each stage, to the hotels. The actual experience was entirely consistent with what was promised.
Walking in the Bernese Oberland felt like a dream. The trails were incredibly scenic, with views of snow-capped peaks, turquoise lakes, and picturesque Swiss villages. The accommodations were comfortable and ideally located, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. Lan was wonderful in helping me plan my days and ensuring I had everything I needed. Switzerland’s natural beauty is unmatched, and this trip was the perfect way to experience it on foot.
The experience of this week in the Italian and French Alps has been spectacular. We have ascended Gran Paradiso and Mont Blanc. Everything was splendidly organized by Anja. I have a very positive opinion of the guides (Davide, Marco), the organization, and the group we formed. The weather was on our side. This is the only thing that cannot be predicted, but when I chose "Climb Mont Blanc" to ascend to the roof of the Alps, I did not make a mistake. It has been an unforgettable week. Thank you very much!! ❤️
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
