They provided excellent support from beginning to end on our trip. The hotels they use are great, and their route notes and gps files are great. Some advice if you're considering the Berner Oberland trip and you've read this far: stay flexible in your planning, and do some of your own research on activities that aren't hiking in the areas. The weather was pretty lousy when we arrived and stayed wet/overcast for the first 3 days or so, so we ended up completely rearranging/changing the routes we planned to hike. We packed hiking clothes for all weather though (as you should too!), and managed to stay comfortable and dry even being outdoors all day. And keep in mind until you travel to Zermatt, everything is (more or less) within an hour's reach by train. We ended up getting a beautiful sunny day on our 2nd day in Lauterbrunnen, so we traveled from there to Widerswil to get to Schynige Platte (actually a shorter train ride than if you left from Meiringen), and took two short train rides from Grindelwald back to Lauterbrunned after the hike. It was well worth the shuffle, and wasn't at all difficult thanks to the ease of use of Swiss trains and the close proximity of all of these mountain villages. My one complaint is that you'll want more time in each town proper, but that's not their fault, and if you have the means, you could always extend days with their help. It's an absolutely stunningly beautiful part of the world, and they made it a breeze to experience. Thanks!

Wonderful guides and tour!

Our guides for both events (Susan a.m. and Andrea p.m.) were both wonderful. You hate to leave them at the end of the tour, you wish you could spend the whole day with them, asking questions and hearing them talk about the history and the city that they have so much passion for. We returned to some of the places we visited on the tour and were so glad we had seen them with Susan and Andrea. On a side note, if either of the guides has recommendations for a good analysis/biography of either Carpaccio or Tintoretto, or about Byzantine Empire relations with Venetian Republic, that would be wonderful. Our knowledge of Venice is still very general, we've read Norwich history, some other general histories (and books on 4th Crusade), and general art history, but would appreciate educated recommendations that would allow us to go a little deeper. Thanks for the great tours and thanks to our guides. I would unhesitatingly recommend Walks of Italy to anyone I knew who was traveling to Italy and will look to Walks of Italy on our next trip to the country.

Enjoyable trip cycling through the Baltics

Overall this was a very enjoyable trip, visiting the Baltic capitals and countryside, learning about the history of the countries and enjoying some very good local food. It is a relatively flat route through the countries on some very good quality cycle paths and roads (compared to the pot holes in the UK) and the distances are not too challenging.
