Camino dos Faros, in Galicia. We've travelled with The NAC about 15 times and this was one of the best. Excellent organisation, faultless delivery and app by S-Cape (the local agent). This is a gem of... See more

The Organisation of our Camino walk was really first class. We've never done anything like it before so we didn't know what to expect. Most importantly - the whole trip was stress free. TNA's local pa... See more

Absolutely dreadful experience on la Gomera. The company sent us over the mountain in the middle of high wind alerts- all routes were officially closed and nobody bothered to suggest any alternative.... See more

Excellent Service!

We are so pleased and grateful that Katya Panchenkova has been so gracious and diligent in juggling and finalizing arrangements for our back-to-back tours with Natural Adventure: Lakes & Valleys of the Slovenian Alps, and Croatia Coast & Islands. She is outstanding and certainly a credit to The Natural Adventure. We look forward to our tours with Natural Adventure, and the additional arrangements Katya has made for us.

Walking the LechWeg

My husband and I spent 8 days on the Lechweg in Austria. The accommodations were wonderful. All had great food or could direct us to excellent restaurants. The trail was easy to navigate and the options for take gondolas to the ridges high above the river added another dimension to our exploration of the landscape. Even with the afternoon mountain thunderstorms, we enjoyed every moment from start to finish.

Walking the Gorges of Western Crete

Walking the Gorges of Western Crete
We felt this holiday was a very positive experience. The walks were challenging but achievable, and lived up to the expectations of immersing oneself into the wild countryside of Crete, with beautiful views inland, in the gorges and next to the sea. The luggage transfers and taxis all worked extremely well. We thought the hotels on the whole were good but we felt we were never given the best, or close to the best, room. Regarding the routes, generally the app routing worked very well but the written description of routes was not always that clear.

We recently completed the tour de Mont…

We recently completed the tour de Mont Blanc in comfort trip in excellent weather. The accommodations were excellent with plenty of good food. It would have been better if we had received the maps and guide book before we left the uk as we had already bought the guide book to find we had the same one waiting for us in our first nights refuge.

Portugese Coastal Camino Way

We recently completed the Portugese Camino coastal route and used The Natural Adventure Company for the necessary arrangements. The tour went very well and was well organised with little effort required from our part. The price was just and reflected what we were expecting. This was my first experience with The Natural Adventure and surely other will follow in due time.

Excellent accommodation and good directions

Excellent accommodation and very helpful hosts. All luggage transfer except one went well. On the last one we arrived to find our luggage hadn’t been picked up. The hotel rang up and the previous host kindly delivered it. Could have done with more up to date local knowledge. We were told there were two places to eat in Cushendall - Upstairs at Joes, which was closed down and Harry’s bar, which was closed on Mondays. We found a very good pizza and burger restaurant, the Pepper Mill, which was not mentioned. The directions were good.

Happy customer :-D

Have used this company for 2 trails now (Great Glen Way & Hadrian's Way Path). Great accommodation and bags delivered in time for our arrival at each place. Clear directions to accommodation. Lovely to have a map and guidebook provided for each trail, including a waterproof map pocket for one trip. Happy customer :-D

Well organised and would use again

Luggage was delivered seamlessly and nothing went wrong. All hotels easy to find and pretty much as described. One wasn't quite up to standards in Arcade and the one in Padron far exceeded expectationsn so overall, very good

The Zakros Way

I was looking for a walking holiday that would allow me to walk mountains, swim in crystal clear waters on secluded beaches, offer something in the way of history and culture and provide some peace and quiet. This is exactly what I got when walking the Zakros Way.
The first two walks are still not very well known, so for most of the walk it was just me with just the sound of crashing waves, birds singing and the occasional bleating of goats. You will find some beautiful secluded beaches to explore and these paths are littered with ruins and other signs of the ancient past. The mountain paths are also covered with aromatic plants that let off amazing scents as you brush past them.
The third walk through the gorge provides a different sort of beauty as you explore the rocks and crevices and the vibrant and colorful plant life.
The accommodation was always good and clean and the food excellent.
Paola and Stefano who run this walk and provide the support were also very kind and always helpful.
I would recommend this walk, especially if you have any interest in archaeology or geology (there are many different types of rocks and landscapes).
This was a great experience, although I would say that you should be prepared for very rocky paths, as although the paths weren't physically too difficult, the terrain does make them a lot more difficult to navigate, as there is always something to trip you up. And the GPS works well, but with rocky paths you can start seeing paths everywhere so use the markings on the rocks as they let you navigate the best path, for me it became a game of follow the red dot.

Highlights of Holland Cycling holiday

Not gone yet but the booking process so far and the answering of all our questions has been fantastic.

Just received our itinerary which has been sent early to allow us to meet with friends at one of the hotels

Great experience so far 👍

Wonderful wander in Bavaria

Just back from a fantastic 7 day walk in Bavaria - King Ludwigs Way. A well organised trip with great accommodation and luggage transfers. All this allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the beautiful countryside.
