Recent reviews

“This was an excellent trip. Hotel was well situated and comfortable with lovely staff, good facilities and great food choices. Javier, our tour guide and walk leader, was brilliant: full of information, considerate and humorous. Menorca was just lovely! The walks were just right: average 10km per day, stunning views, some challenge but manageable, well organised picnic lunches and the option to sea swim every day if you wanted to. I would highly recommend this tour.”
