My wife and I walked the “Catalan Coast and Mountain” tour in October 2022. I would highly recommend this tour. Steve and Maria are wonderful hosts. Great communication pre-trip, a very helpful in person orientation before you set out, and lots of tips on dining and sightseeing that were all spot on. The best part of this trip is the diversity of the walks and places to stop and visit along the way: Greek and Roman ruins near the beach, a wildlife reserve in marshland, a medieval hill town, stunning Cadaques on the water, a monastery high in the hills, serene walking with breathtaking coastal views, and much more. We are 60, and we found all the walks very do-able, with gas in the tank at the end of the day to enjoy the sights at the destination. One day we were tired, and easily took a taxi for 20 Euros to shorten the walk a bit and give more time to explore the sights. We enjoyed the tour so much we are booking a second trip with Steve and Maria for Spring 2023.

Hi Steve/Maria. We are extraordinarily late in submitting a review for our trip this past October, but did want to get one to you! See below. Thanks again for all of your assistance. We had a grand time. Cheers, Jon and Caroline McClurg We did the Catalan Coast and Mountain trip in late October, and were lucky with the weather (which ranged from cool to surprisingly hot, but it was an unusually warm Fall). We enjoyed everything about the trip, from the support to the route and hotels. We opted for the supplement for the Hotel Llane Petit in Cadaques and were glad we did (nice hotel a little out of the fray, but easily walkable to the center). Steve and Maria provided all the support needed, and were entertaining on the transfers. Walking distances and difficulties were fine for a beginner to intermediate walker with decent fitness. This was the first trip for one of us following two knee replacements about a year prior. Poles were useful on some of the segments with climbing/descending (especially the last day, but what a beautiful hike that was!), but mostly it was fairly easy walking. We opted for a mix of local and higher-end restaurants, and enjoyed the food and hospitality immensely. Steve and Maria paid attention to the openings/closings of restaurants at this late time in the season, and were helpful in finding good places to eat in each location (some restaurants were beginning to close for the season, or have limited hours). Overall a great trip -- we would easily do it or a variation again.

We had a great week in Catalonia on the Catalan Coast & Village Tour. All was fantastic, really appreciated the transfers from Figures and then back to Girona. Great cycle routes through lovely varied countryside with apple orchards, vineyards, nature reserves, lovely beaches and attractive villages. Seamlessly organised.
