WalkingWomen Reviews

  Walking Women's Priorat Spain Wine & Walking tour exceeded my expectations. From the detailed up-front travel planning to the boutique hotels, from the amazing hiking to the delicious food,... read more from the wonderful group to the fabulous and exclusive feel to all the activities, the trip was top notch from beginning to end. The tour guide (Lorraine) was wonderful and the group gelled beautifully.
The mix of activities was also spot on.....challenging and gorgeous hiking; relaxing at sidewalk cafes in beautiful medieval villages for mid-day breaks; enjoying private and exclusive wine, cheese and olive oil tastings;  wandering about the monastery, the castle and the city tour of Tarragona (including the exclusive roof-top access to the cathedral in Tarragona);  and just the right the mix of traditional lunches in local villages after hiking, or packed lunches enjoyed from beautiful viewpoints on the trail with dinners later at local restaurants;  the trip included just the right amount of each.

  An antidote to remote working - I joined a group knowing only one other person and was surprised how quickly we all gelled. The group was ably facilitated by our guide, the staff on the boat... read more were warm and friendly, and the food was excellent. The walks were just the right blend of length, height, interesting historic features and meeting local people. April was a wonderful time to visit Turkey and swim in the clear blue Mediterranean. Highly recommended.

  A fabulous week - I did the Turkey spring 2023 gulet trip which was a fantastic week of walking, relaxation and getting away from it all.

I joined a small group... read more and we soon bonded over fabulous food (prepared and served onboard by an excellent crew) and coastline walks. Our host was excellent and was "one of the gang" from the start.

I've travelled a lot and can whole heartedly recommend this trip. The blend of being on the boat, cruising, walking, shopping, talking with other women, relaxing, swimming and getting covered in mud then being hosed down! made it special. For me, the balance was spot on. My highlight was seeing wild tortoises and turtles.

  An amazing experience - This Turkey in Spring walking holiday (April 2023) based on a traditional 'gulet' boat for the week was an amazing experience. The guide was a fount of knowledge of the... read more coastline and she took us on stunningly beautiful walks straight from the boat - into the hills, meeting local nomadic people and discovering the beauty of the Turkish Mediterranean coastline in a very unique way on woodland tracks and forest paths. The crew looked after us really well with lovely food. My favourite thing was to be able to swim straight off the boat into clear turquoise waters. Highly recommended for anyone who loves being outside and having an adventure!

  Took my niece to experience wild and wonderful Iceland which we had been planning do for 12 months, and when I saw that Walking Women had a trip going in... read more March I booked straight away. The whole experience was wonderful from start to finish. Walking Women organised with their local Icelandic travel guide Saga all the details, which meant we did not need to think about anything apart from how many layers we were going to wear each day! Iceland is the most incredible other worldly amazing place and everyone who can should visit. I would definitely love to go back.

I will definitely be doing another holiday with Walking Women and highly recommend them.

  Exceptional trips. - Fortunate to of experienced 4 or 5 trips with walking women. Love the diversity of trips, the choices, ability to spend time withing the group of extraordinary women or time... read more independently. Nothing is missed, such a treat to have everything planed for you. Would highly recommend to all.

  Wondeful Slovakia - Went on the Slovakian Winter Wonderland holiday. Superb having a bi-lingual ( English/ Slovakian) guide. Essential to have someone who speaks the language in my opinion. Very welcoming small... read more and friendly group, very supportive and flexible in terms of adapting walks according to personal abilities.
Accomodation was beautiful and modern, very well equipped. Breakfasts only at accomodation but lots of restaurants on the walks and places nearby if you wish to venture out in the evening. If you don't want to eat out in the evenings you can stock up with food from Lidl which is a 5 minute walk away. The waterpark and spa was amazing ! I spent a whole day there instead of doing one of the walks. Due to the local knowledge of our guide we really packed a lot into the 4 days there. (5 including travel) Perfect length for a trip and experienced all the highlights of this magnificent area.
