Recently returned from Headwater's… Recently returned from Headwater's 'Highlights of Northern Portugal' walking trip. What a beautiful area! I've never been on a holiday where I saw three distinct regions all in one week. Starting in the Douro wine region, it was incredible to see the vast vineyards and of course taste the wine. Next was the impressive mountains of the National Park before ending on the Atlantic Coast - recommend adding extra nights in Porto. Local agent was fantastic, as was Headwater's service before and after our trip.

Not recommended Very disappointed with the poor presentation of my quote for a holiday in Malta which had errors and was not easy to follow. Also found the price extremely expensive. I booked essentially the same holiday independently for less than half the price. I understand this is a sister company of Exodus. If I was the CEO of Exodus, I would be worried

Could be vastly improved Organisation pre-departure was very chaotic and stressful, which was concerning. Most of the trip was organised, apart from being sent to an incorrect hotel one evening, as they had changed the booking without telling us. Bike hire quality was fairly poor - badly maintained bikes and my chain snapped one ride leaving us in the midday heat which was not great and delayed us getting to our destination. The route was good for 4/6 days, average for 1 day and awful for one day - I am unsure why this route was picked really. Overall, we enjoyed our holiday as 4/6 days were great but there are definitely parts we feel should have been much better and could be improved.

Algarve self guided walking We thoroughly enjoyed our self guided walking in the s.w tip of Portugal. The app was useful in route finding. It was a fascinating discovery of rural Algarve as well as the magnificent coasts and golden beaches of the south coast. We stayed in lovely hotels and enjoyed fantastic food, lots of fish! A really good introduction to the area.

Mont Blanc Recently returned from an amazing time in Mont Blanc! The walks were fantastic and the views were out of this world! The local agent discussed the planned routes with us on arrival before we set off to explore the vibrant Chamonix. After a few days walking here we crossed the border to our next stop Courmayeur and took in the views from the Italian side of Mont Blanc. It really was a once in a lifetime trip!
