What people love about Hiking & Trekking Tours in UK and Great Britain
- Walking Scotland’s Orkney Islands
Overall, a very interesting trip, that enabled us to enjoy most of what the Orkneys had to offer. The evening meals were good and the local sandwich shop proved very useful for lunchtimes.
- Walk the North West Highlands and Skye
Tour was great. Angela is amazing. She’s so knowledgeable and looked after the group at all times.
- Walk the Lake District
A thoroughly enjoyable trip even though none of the group had originally planned to be in the Lakes. The group itself was excellent as a whole and when split in the smaller 'covid' groups - lots of fun, experience, laughter and shared experiences. A real treat, well done Explore for thinking on your feet and creating this trip when we couldn't go to where we'd all planned.
