Thank you for your kind words, Bernard. It was a real pleasure to have you travel with us on our Armenia and Georgia Tour last week and we are glad you enjoyed your time with us.

It was an honour to be your host in Sicily, Frank and thank you for your kind words. We are delighted that your enjoyed you Aeolian islands walking holiday as much as we enjoyed having your company in the group and we hope your onward travels were as enjoyable and rewarding. With kind regards.

We are delighted you enjoyed your recent holiday in the Madonie Mountains with us and thank you for giving up your time to leave us valuable feedback. 

Thank you too for pointing out that the descriptions of each day's walk could be improved and we will mark this down on our toDo list before we start taking bookings for next year. However, the distances covered, the estimated hours walking, as well as the elevation and descent of each day are accurately quoted against the description of each days walk in the tour itinerary. 

We are sorry though to hear of the confusion between a "walk" and a "hike". Unfortunately, this seems one of those rare occasions, where as George Bernard Shaw famously remarked, we are two countries divided by a common language. Though in American English there is a clear distinction between the two, in British English we rarely use the word "hike" (except in compound nouns such as "hitchhiker" and "price hike") and tend to use the word "walk" to refer to both activities. 

In British English, therefore, this kind of holiday is very definitely labelled and marketed by tour operators as a "Walking Holiday". And since the majority of our customers are British, this is the terminology we stick to on our website. Our apologies, therefore, if it caused an ambiguity.

We are so glad you enjoyed you enjoyed your walking holiday in the Aeolian islands as much as we enjoyed having you in the group and thank you too for taking the time to leave us such kind feedback. Do please keep in touch and we would love to have you travel with us again.

Thank you indeed for taking so much time, Nisia, to send us such detailed and valuable feedback. I know we corresponded at length before you arrived on this tour, but it was a pleasure indeed to be the hosts for your birthday celebrations and for hosting so many of your special friends. We are just so happy that this small group tour of Sicily turned out to be just what you had been wanting.  

It was an honour to travel with you and we do hope you will travel with us again. Thank you, once again.

David and Maggie. These are very kind words indeed - thank you. We are so delighted that you enjoyed your week walking in the Aeolian islands with us. Yes, we do indeed go out of our way to give maximum care and attention, but as I said to you as waved our goodbyes on Lipari harbour, thirty five years ago the boot was on the other foot when, as a teenager, you led us on hiking expeditions through the Alps and Pyrenees. So much that I have learnt about leadership, organisation, mountain safety and even simple group dynamics were learnt on those expeditions. 

Dilly, it was fantastic to have you with us on the Aeolian islands walking holiday. It was an honour to have you travel with us and so much fun showing you around. We are glad you enjoyed it as much as we did. Thank you too for all these kind words. We certainly try to deliver our best, but it is always good to know when it has been appreciated. Thank you, once again.

Thank you for your kind words. We do indeed try to make our small group tours of Sicily as full of variety as possible; interspersing historical sites with more remote locations in the countryside and we are always happy when our guests appreciate this. It was a real pleasure to travel with you and thank you for all your energy and enthusiasm whilst on the tour.

It is always a real pleasure to hear such an enthusiastic appreciation of our work. Thank you, Anne! We are so pleased that you enjoyed our Hidden Sicily tour as much as we enjoyed having you as our guests, and we would be absolutely delighted if you were to come back and travel with us again. We'll keep in touch!
