Led walks - travel companies?

Terry Pinnell said:

My wife and I have used HF for quite a few years for our summer walking holidays. But their
repertoire during the school summer holiday is fairly thin, and we've just about exhausted its
possibilities. We've used Ramblers only once so it may be a bit unfair to compare, but we didn't
rate it such good value as HF.

We've obtained a few other brochures, from Ramblers, Headwater, Waymark and Saga. But, so far,
we're still not spoilt for choice.

We prefer lead walks, although would consider DIY or some hybrid. Ideally we want 2 weeks, one or
two hotels, in France/Austria/Switzerland/Italy/Spain, with 'moderate' walking. (HF offer at least
2 levels; for those companies that don't, we have to be a bit more choosy if both of us are to be
satisfied.)

Anyone have any other recommendations please?

Done several walking holidays with them, not the cheapest but well led
( 2local experienced leaders with each walk and they stay with you ALL the time),well researched
routes and well organised. Their walks are taken at a steady pace plenty of time to pause &
investigate anything of interest.

Am going to the Algarve with portugalwalks portugalwalks.comportugalwalks.comOpen ↗ in the Spring, but havnt
used them before.

I don't know if you have any interest in wine but if you do have a search for Winetrails. (Apologies
but I've thrown away / deleted all contact details). They do led and DIY walks in wine tasting areas
with some weeks having a Master of Wine on hand to advise on local wines. I've never been with them
basically because all their itineraries are based on departures from S.E. airports, which should
suit you. Ron Lowe

Thank, Robert, I'll try both.
