Testimonials
“I love traveling with you folks. Every one of our 24 trips have more than met our expectations.”
“I always have the highest expectations of my Walking Adventures trips and have never been disappointed.”
“Would definitely recommend WAI to our active friends. Hope to join you in the near future!”
“Exceeded all my expectations – loved the walks, history and different experiences – pubs and music, boat rides, etc.”
“WAI tours are educational and absolutely worry free – Culture and history are always included. Walks are often off the beaten path – Many new friendships result from sharing these wonderful experiences.”
“A tour with Walking Adventures is never a disappointment but always offers much more than one expects and combines history, culture and walking. One learns so much!”
“I love traveling with WAI and wish I had known about them when I was much younger!”
“WAI tours are always so very well planned and the WAI staff is always watching for ways to make the experience the very best for the client. They treat us like friends from day 1.”
“Once again WAI gave us a wonderful adventure with a local flavor. As always we get much more traveling with WAI than we expect. Scott, Judy and Hildrun were all helpful and made our trip FUN. MAHOLO for another great experience.”
“I love the way you organize the tours to include walking and cultural events and opportunities to learn about the people. I will continue to travel with you because I think you are simply the best.”
“The guides are excellent. The trips are well planned. We get to have a variety of experiences. The places are always new; even unexpected experiences are interesting.”
“WAI is synonymous with excellence, service, outstanding planning and preparation in a humanistic, caring way in group travel.”
“The precise organization; the comfort of knowing I am well cared for and safe; the global experience I know I will get; the chance to walk in local places.”
“Everything was exceptional on this trip! All the transportation up and down the mountains was an adventure, and the guides were outstanding…we’d go with them anywhere they’d want to take us!!!”
“Everything was extremely well done. There are not enough superlatives to describe this adventure. Scenery was superb and it was a fun group.”
“No cookie-cutter tours could ever lure us away from Walking Adventures. From Dan on down, this is first and foremost a family experience. Sue and I feel we are part of this unique family.”
“They (WAI guides) couldn’t have done anything better! We were very happy with everything they did. Pat even went above and beyond in teaching me geology and earth science.”
“The local guide, Hildrun, is super. She’s friendly, knowledgeable, and tried very hard to please us and give the best of Europe to us.”
“Weather, for the most part, made our walks unforgettable. And alternate plans worked out by our guides made the day’s excursions great. Flexibility was key in this trip—alternate walks, choice of restaurants for meals on our own, and a fun group of travelers who liked to walk.”
“First game drive at Lake Nakuru was very exciting! Also loved the Maasai Mara, Crescent Island, Hell’s Gate, Amboseli, and Crater Lake were also great. I never dreamed we’d see so many animals. We had zebra and elephants right by our tents on two occasions.”
“Of course, one of the highlights of coming to Africa is to see the animals in their natural environment. For me, an equal highlight was going to the three very different villages and getting a firsthand glimpse of their different lifestyles. The rain in the Maasai village allowed us even more time to talk with our Maasai host, which was wonderful.”
“Everything was truly an adventure. Hot air balloon ride, safaris – loved boating among the trees to see all the shore birds.”
“Overall, it was an excellent experience! The guides were very accommodating and considerate! Scott was well organized and kept us moving in a timely fashion with kindness.”
“Thank you for giving us the experience of each of these towns – the history and special geographical differences.”
“I felt the organization and coordination of everything was very well done.”
“Great guides, interesting itineraries, nice combo of walks and sightseeing and compatible people to travel with, is what prompts us to return.”
“I had a marvelous experience. Bravo to the planners for selecting great places to visit that allowed us to soak up the spectacular views and lots of history. I now have a new ‘best destination’ – Sicily!”
“Sicily was a complete surprise for its beauty – mountains and coastline. A fantastic trip and many memories to take back home with us.”
“This organization is well run, trips are well planned, and you feel like WAI really cares about your trip and what you think.”
“I can count on WAI to find the best experiences of a place, not just the same old tourist traps a lot of other travel/tour groups do.”
“We had a ball and felt very spoiled.”
“The local guide made the country come alive.”
“Once again, traveling with WAI really is an adventure and a great learning experience. Seeing old friends that I made through WAI is always especially wonderful.”
“I have never been disappointed in the 10 years I have been traveling with WAI. They have always been the BEST—and I signed on for 2 more!”
“It is always a pleasure traveling with WAI. An interesting itinerary with an enjoyable group is assured. Thank you!”
“All info is ‘up front.’ Nothing is even hidden in the ‘small print.’ I like the combination of active walks, sightseeing, and history. You always go ‘above and beyond’ to be helpful.”
“I always look forward to the ‘off the beaten track’ experiences/adventures. The occasional ‘surprises’ are always an added bonus! I rave about WAI to everyone – walkers or not. My standard comment is “you get what you pay for and more.”
