Peru & Galapagos Adventure 14 - 28 May 2010
Still can't believe all we did. Great holiday. Many thanks and all best wishes Lorna
We both thoroughly enjoyed the holiday and the company of your good self and Ian - thank you. It would be good to revisit the Sacred Valley area again with more walking so get planning! Pat and Bernard
We really enjoyed the holiday and appreciate all your work to ensure it's smooth running Jonathan
Thanks again for an adventure which met the usual Langdale high standards and resultant enjoyment Geoff and Sarah
"You have the knack of drawing together nice like-minded people. I don't think any of us had visited the Gower before and I was certainly impressed. Your knowledge and experience of the area came in useful and I appreciated the way you moderated the pace. So, thank you very much."
"Thank you for a wonderful holiday and making it another great Langdale experience .... we realise on reflection how much we experienced. Thank you for a very memorable and enjoyable holiday experience" Shirley and Michael
"Managed with great skill. Thank you for looking after us all so sensitively and making the holiday so worthwhile" Annie
"Hope the Galapagos trip is as wonderful as ours was. Best wishes and look forward to our next trip with you!" Janet and Steve
Walking & Exploring in South Africa, 21 November - 4 December 2009
"I've now cleared my desk at work and can look back with great satisfaction at another very enjoyable holiday - well up to your usual high standard. It's the extra touches, like joining the locals for the carol service sung in English and Afrikaans and the wine and buffet afterwards, which make your trips memorable.
I was really impressed with South Africa as a country and the hotels and restaurants were all excellent or even better." Colin
"A huge thank you from Hazel and I for giving us such a great trip to South Africa. We enjoyed the good company and the excellent walking (although perhaps some of the gradings need minor revision: eg. Baboon Rock!)"

Canyons of the American West, 18 September - 3 October 2009
Thank you so much for yet another fabulous holiday. I think I've just recovered! As usual it was great fun and a dream come true for me.
Yvonne
"Another wonderful holiday! Amazing scenery, super walks, great company, very caring and knowledgeable guides.
Thank you once again and please put us down for the Grand Canyon River Experience in 2011 and New Mexico.
Best wishes to you both." Jill & Elwyn P.S. The stretch limo was a great finale!
"My most grateful thanks to you for yet another great holiday. It was, as always, excellently organised and the walking was terrific and combined with the most magnificent scenery; it all added up to make a holiday to remember for years to come. And a stretch limo!" Doug Slideshow» Top «Back
Walking in Ireland 22-29 June 2009

"This is as good as it gets. Many thanks." Richard & Julia Newman
"Once again, thank you so much for yet another wonderfully memorable holiday. We packed so much in, yet never felt hurried or hassled (apart from the traders!). If there were any hitches then no-one noticed.
It's so consistently reliable. We've never yet had anything but brilliant trips with you.
For the Egypt experience there aren't enough superlatives. There's always some added bonus. We've spoken to other people who have had disappointing holidays there - we tell them they should use Langdale. Mr. Fairs never lets that happen!" Chris & John
"This is by way of a belated thank you for organising the Egypt holiday. For me it was the holiday I have long craved and was the experience of a lifetime. Already I find it hard to believe that it was only just over two weeks ago since it started. I could not possibly have had a more comprehensive journey or crammed more into a week than we did. I came home feeling that I had had total value for my money and that not one minute of that holiday had been wasted. The location was magical and the group, the food, the guides and the accommodation were all top-notch. I have only one disappointment - there was no lamb in the desert!
I feel truly privileged to have visited Egypt with Langdale Holidays and will wholeheartedly recommend the company to family, friends and colleagues. Your organisational ability and attention to detail was second to none and undoubtedly made the holiday the overwhelming experience that it became. I could not get enough of the power and strength of the antiquities and was utterly impressed and awed by them. They were as huge and impressive as I had imagined and I feel so grateful for having seen so many of them due to your knowledge and experience." Barry Jones Slideshow» Top «Back
New Year in Madeira, 29 December 2008 - 5 January 2009
"We both enjoyed Madeira - the more strenuous mountain walks on the last couple of days were a great way to start getting into shape for 2009. As always the company was very sociable, and it was good to combine the excellent New Year celebrations with the walking programme." Colin
"Just wanted to say thank you for your company during our week in Madeira. You made me feel very welcome travelling alone, and I was very fortunate to go on holiday with such a super bunch of people." Alison Slideshow» Top «Back
Exploring Rajasthan, 1 - 15 November 2008
"Many thanks for a splendid trip with loads of wonderful memories!" Jenny
"We thought Rajasthan was wonderful. Probably the best holiday we've taken with you. Thanks to you and Denise for your company and to you for resolving those little 'operational difficulties' during the holiday that make these trips so enjoyable and memorable." Elwyn
"Thank you for taking Neville and me on an unforgettable trip to India. We have returned home with so many memories (and photographs) of the strange things we have seen and the insights we had of a different way of life to our own." Freda Slideshow» Top «Back
Oregon Adventure, USA, 2 - 16 September 2008
"Just a personal note...to say how much we enjoyed our time in Oregon. It was a real bonus to spend the whole time in our comfortable lodge, apart from the night at Crater Lake Lodge. It is of course necessary on many holidays to move on if the idea is to experience a variety of locations and scenery, but there is so much to be said for having one base to explore a smaller area, especially when that base is as comfortable and environmentally pleasing as the Sunriver Resort. Dave Nissen and his team from Wanderlust Tours were quite excellent. Finally, it was good to share the holiday with such a compatible group." Mike and Viv
"This was our first Langdale trip and we have thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Many thanks for a great holiday." Stuart and Naomi
"It was one of the best holidays we have ever been on, due in no small measure to all that you did to look after all the details, and the best location experienced so far." John and Netta
"Once again thank you for another super Langdale Holiday to yet another beautiful part of America. As usual we were with a great group of like-minded people. The accommodation was first class and the walks and other activities were "triffic"! A special thank you to Denise for all her hard work keeping our fridges filled and organizing our lunches and of course David your great Barbies. Finally what superlatives can I use to describe the weather?" Jill and Elwyn
"A quick thanks for a great trip in Oregon. What fantastic weather! David Nissen and his team lived up to expectations too." Martin
"We had a wonderful holiday in a most interesting part of America." Sylvia and Roger
"Many thanks for our wonderful holiday in Oregon. It was excellent from beginning to end, and one of our best holidays ever. The whole package from beginning to end was hugely enjoyable. Sunriver Resort lived up to its reputation, and you both looked after us so well and made our enjoyment complete. Thank you so much for that." Andrew and Gill
"What a fantastic holiday in beautiful Norway. Everything was perfect - great walks, interesting companions and perfect weather and, as always, impeccable organisation. Thank you very much for such a happy time." Kate
"What a super holiday! I so much enjoyed the week in Norway - such a beautiful, friendly and magnificent country." Margaret Slideshow» Top «Back
Peru and the Galapagos Islands, 14 - 30 May 2008
"I thoroughly enjoyed the holiday, great organisation as usual, lovely contrast between Peru and The Galapagos Islands, and, of course, enjoyable company." Hilary
"The holiday was thoroughly enjoyable; all went to plan and the guide was excellent. In fact the whole trip was immensely enjoyable, and we were highly impressed with Peru, the friendliness of the people and the high standards of the hotels which we stayed in, as well of course as the incomparable Machu Picchu."

Walking & Touring in New Zealand, 12 January - 4 February 2008
"Thank you for a very happy, successful trip - we enjoyed it all immensely and appreciated all the thought and planning that had gone into putting together such an excellent itinerary. And to enjoy it all in such lovely weather with such lovely people were added bonuses.
May all your future expeditions be equally successful. Hope to join you again before too long." John and Alison
"What a wonderful holiday. We enjoyed every moment of it. Thank you very much for organising such a superb, fun, action packed three weeks plus marvellous weather and excellent company. We very much hope we will have a chance of coming with you again." Janet and Chris
"A few lines to thank you very much indeed for another great holiday. My second visit was made all the better by an excellent group of people who gelled so well, and the great weather we had. The walking was again the best with splendid scenery enhancing each walk wherever it was.
Your organisation and leadership was again first class (but watch out for Colin; I think there may be a coup coming)! All in all, a very enjoyable holiday." Doug Top «Back
Walking in the Rocky Mountains, 15 - 28 September 2007
"Thank you so much for organising such a splendid holiday yet again. We have just re-surfaced after sleeping off the time difference. We are absolutely elated having had such a wonderful experience of people, events, hikes and of course unendiing scenery. We have run out of superlatives.
It is so reassuring to know that your trips will excel everytime and this one was no exception. Our thanks also to Bob who was an excellent and unassuming Guide as well as a personable character. We will definitely be coming on the next trip you organise to that part of the country." Chris and John Slideshow» Top «Back
Edinburgh Military Tattoo & Festival, 11 - 13 August 2007
"Very many thanks for all your organisation of a really lovely weekend in Edinburgh. Grandstand seats for the Tattoo which was great - even better than we had hoped for. Nice hotel, good company and a happy scramble up Arthur's Seat. What a view." Ken and Jenny
"Thank you for your organisation which was impeccable - as always. It was very good to meet up with old friends again." Kate Top «Back
Exploring the Isles of Scilly, Tresco, 23 - 28 April 2007
"Thank you for a wonderful few days - everything was just perfect, good company, good food and good weather - what more could we have asked for." Brenda and John
"We had a fantastic time - it was a great holiday in an idyllic spot. The Isles of Scilly are beautiful; pleasant walks on Tresco, St. Martin's, Bryher and St. Mary's, nice (even exciting) boat trips, then returning to the lovely Island Hotel for gourmet dinners. The company too was excellent and we quickly 'gelled' as a group."
Elma and Alisdair
"Dennis and I enjoyed every minute of our visit to Tresco and thought the Isles of Scilly were quite idyllic. Thank you so much for making such a full and interesting programme and for spending so much time with us all." Dennis and Joan Slideshow» Top «Back
Drakensberg & Cape Town, South Africa, 2 - 16 December 2006
"I enjoyed the holiday very much. The hotels & restaurants were excellent & all the programme so well planned & carried out. Wayne & Richard were both first class & without them I couldn't possibly have managed The Amphitheatre & Table Mountain walks. Your leadership was the most important factor though and also the kindness of the others in the group. Many thanks!" Francis
"Thank you so much for organising another excellent holiday - I enjoyed it very much indeed, particularly of course the walking and dramatic scenery in the Drakensberg. Everything went very smoothly and when there was a little hitch it was very quickly sorted out in your usual efficient way. The hotels, food, wine and the company could not have been bettered. Certainly a holiday to remember. Thank you once again."
Doug Sullivan Top «Back
Walking in the Swiss Alps, 15 - 22 July 2006
"Everything about it was great - the scenery, food, wine, and of course the group of people who got on so well. It probably was the best holiday I have been on so far." Douglas
"Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy the most wonderful holiday in such enjoyable company. Everything went like clockwork - as expected in Switzerland I suspect!" Ann Top «Back
Lake District, 2 - 4 September 2005
"Just wanted to thank you for a splendid weekend, it was so nice to meet up with old friends and make new friends. The weather was just perfect and the organisation once again spot on."

Jordan Adventure, 3 - 11 April 2005
"Many thanks for a marvellous tour of Jordan - I am only just beginning to appreciate the extent of all we saw and experienced."
Hilary
"Netta and I would like to thank you for another fabulous experience vi sting Jordan. Everything ran smoothly as usual, with the hotels, travelling and overall arrangements being excellent.
It is a great pleasure to take part in your very special holidays, which seem to attract a wonderful mix of people, all of whom "get on". This is a testament to your leadership and personal involvement in the holidays, which adds that extra touch and ensures that we are generally unaware of any hiccups.
You also seem to have the gift of selecting excellent guides to accompany us, and in this case Ibrahim was really superb, assisted by a very steady and hard working driver.
We are so lucky to be off again in just under 3 weeks on another Langdale holiday to the Galapagos Islands!" Netta & John
"All sorts of lovely memories crowd into our heads whenever we remind ourselves of the adventure it was. We cannot thank you enough for organizing such a great holiday. As we explained to you, it was a far cry from our experience with (xxxxxx) in the West Indies last year. There is no comparison and you have restored our faith in group expeditions. This took some doing since we are both fairly independently minded people." John & Jenny Top «Back
Walking in Crete, 7 - 14 October 2003
"Thanks again for organising another delightful Langdale Holiday. Good walking with informative guides, good company, good hotel, good food (though perhaps too much?!), and the benefits of raki as a mid-morning stimulant." Sarah & Geoff Slideshow (2007)» Top «Back
