a fantastic holiday in beautiful Norway. Everything was perfect

a happy time."

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."

Exploring
the Seychelles, 28 October - 8 November 2007 |
|
 |
"Thanks
for another brilliant holiday. Great company, great guides, great
hotels, and great weather. Bird Island is just the most fantastic
place to chill out on. Looking forward to our next holiday with
you."
Ewan and Moira
"Once
we got over the first couple of days we settled down to enjoy
these tropical islands very much. It was an interesting itinerary
and it was good to see that us tourists have not yet resulted
in such a delightful, peaceful destination being spoilt by too
much development.
I am pretty sure that we would not have visited the Seychelles
independently or on a mass package holiday, so thank you for giving
us this experience with such good companions."

"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."

"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."

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."

"We
would like to thank you for a lovely holiday which we very much
enjoyed. Being a small group made it like a family party as we
all got on so well. Richard made a great job of leading the walks
and modifying them to suit the windy weather we had for several
days."

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."

Marrakech
and the High Atlas, 21 - 28 October 2006 |
|
 |
"Thanks
to Sue and you for another very enjoyable Langdale holiday, this
time one of many comfort contrasts!
It
was a good idea on this inaugural Moroccan experience to have
luxury hotels sandwiching the basic comforts available on the
4-day mountain trek. In the mountains, the extremely basic toilet
and washing facilities available (which were no barrier to experienced
campers or those prepared to face the challenge for a limited
period) were compensated by a very high standard of catering,
outstanding walking and a very cohesive group of travellers."
Sarah & Geoff
"Thank
you for the wonderful time I had in Morocco, the sights, sounds
and smells will be with me a long time. Please thank Susan for
her contribution."

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!"

really enjoyed our visit to the Galapagos mainly because it was
so different to any other holiday we have had. I can assure you
that we are spreading the good news about you and Langdale Holidays."
Clive and Ann

again for the holiday; it was really splendid. I thought our little
group jelled well and we enjoyed everyone's company."

|
 |
"Again
we have to thank you for organising and arranging another enjoyable
stay on Tresco. We need not have worried about the hotel. Our
room with its fantastic view was perfect and the food at every
meal delicious. It was good to be able to share the holiday with
another group of friendly and interesting people. The weather
was perfect for our walks and boat trips. The fantastic views
will remain with us for a long time."
Peter and Liz
"Thanks
as usual for another memorable holiday - good company, brilliant
scenery, great food and wine - what more does one need. We want
to go back to Tresco."

New
Zealand and Australia, 17 January - 12 February 2006 |
|




|
"Thanks
for the New Zealand holiday. It came up to the usual high standard
of your holidays. When you take into account that all first-class
accommodation, virtually all the meals, all travel and a host
of other activities are all included - plus the benefits of the
presence of a tour leader skilled in the diplomatic arts that
guarantee room upgrades and baggage retrieval- then you really
do get value for what at first glance seems an expensive holiday.
We had our fifth great adventure holiday with you and we'll be
back for more."
Sarah and Geoff
"We
would like to express our sincere thanks for the wonderful holiday
we have just completed in New Zealand and Australia. Before going
we considered it as a once in a lifetime trip and it certainly
lived up to all our expectations, so much so that we are now looking
forward to the next trip of a lifetime!"
Graham and Ruth
"A
big thank you for a wonderful holiday. The weather was outstanding,
the food excellent and what a fantastic group of people - it will
be a tough act to follow."
Pat and Bernard
"Having
now completed our fifth 'Langdale Holiday', we feel very much
part of a club - not quite the Athenaeum of the North but you
know what we mean! Certainly one of the aspects of your holidays
that we value and enjoy is the companionship and camaraderie amongst
a group of people sharing common interests.
Our New Zealand holiday probably surpassed our expectations and
we have many enjoyable experiences to look back on. It was a pity
about the Tongeriro Crossing but it was much to your credit that
you promptly found such an enjoyable alternative in Napier and
lunch at the winery. We are very pleased we spent part of the
children's inheritance on this holiday; we are very much of the
opinion that we should take such opportunities whilst health allows.
Thank you once again for organising and leading such a memorable
experience."
Mike and Viv
"Thank
you for leading Neville and I on another wonderful holiday; we
loved New Zealand and have many happy memories to treasure."
Freda
"Our
'holiday of a lifetime', was just that, although, never having
been 'long haul' before and never having had the opportunity to
be on holiday for more than two weeks at a time, we were both
excited and a little apprehensive at the prospect.
We
were not disappointed, in fact the whole experience exceeded what
we prepared ourselves for. The hotels were terrific, the walks
brilliant and the food and wine, yes we drank a glass or two,
were wonderful. We enjoyed the company of lovely like-minded people
and have made some good friends."

"Thanks for
another great holiday. We thought the attached photo (see right)
sums up how hard you work whilst away!!"
Martin
"A
few lines to thank you most sincerely for another well organised,
excellent holiday. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience in
the Pyrenees with great walks, magical scenery, a guide who really
knew the area and of course a very friendly group who got on so
very well. What more could you want?"

| Some
of the comments from people who experienced our first visit to
Ecuador and the Galapagos, 10 - 24 May 2005 |
| 

|
"The
Galapagos proved exceptional in every way. The boat and the crew,
the itinerary and the guides were superb as well as the volcano
on Fernandina, which erupted just for us. We certainly could not
have expected such luck.
Your
attention to detail, before and during the holiday, ensured that
it was totally hassle free for us, enabling us to get the most
out of every day. The atmosphere of camaraderie enhanced our enjoyment,
especially as so many of your regular clients have over the years
become good friends. There is no doubt that you have found a special
formula that works very well and we look forward to the next holiday
with anticipation."
Rosanne
"Thank
you once again for organising the most amazing holiday we have
ever had. It was a fantastic experience to see so much wildlife
at close quarters and to share it with a great group of friends,
on such a special boat. The "eruption ", well, that
was a real highlight and how you arranged that we shall never
know!!"
Peter and Liz
"Everything
was excellent. It was an incredible experience and ranks at the
very top of all our travelling and holidays over very many years.
Thank you very much indeed for all your expertise in ensuring
that everything ran so smoothly. We shall keep coming on your
superb Langdale Holidays."
Netta and John
"It
was a great holiday - certainly an adventure in every sense of
the word - made exceptional by the eruption on Fernandina Island!"
Julie and Fred
"The
two weeks were packed with new experiences and sights, we had
excellent tour guides at all points and we learnt so much. All
in all we can only congratulate you for putting this trip together,
and allowing us to visit places we have only read about previously."
Sandra and Cliff
"We
were the new recruits and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.
Galapagos far outweighed our expectations - a truly memorable
holiday. We were very impressed with the amount of preliminary
work that you had put in and the selection of guides and accommodation
were very good. The company was excellent!"
Bob and Jackie
"Thank
you for your expertise in organising such a sensational trip to
the Galapagos and Ecuador. It will be hard to match the experience."
John
"The
Galapagos was amazing, somewhere so very special. The pure unspoiled
environment and the fearless animals must have changed little
since Darwin had the pleasure of being there."

"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 and 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."

Patagonian
Adventure, 11 February - 1 March 2005 |
|
 |
"Moira
and I would like to thank you for yet another superb holiday.
The scenery was fabulous, the various trips were all interesting,
and although the distances were vast, it was worth covering them.
Highlights for us were the Iguazu Falls (it is worth going round
to the Brazilian side), and the walks in the Fitzroy area, the
Torres del Paine Park, and the trip to the Perito Moreno glacier.
As usual, any problems were sorted out with minimal impact to
us. As the title of the holiday implied, it was a real adventure
which we will always remember. I know that at this moment,
we'd much rather be at the Lago Grey hotel than at work!"
Ewan and Moira
"Very
many thanks for arranging another great holiday. I enjoyed it
very much indeed, and although we could not do all the walking
that was arranged, the sights of mountains and glaciers were marvellous."
Doug
"Many,
many thanks from us both for an excellent holiday. The
walking was superb, I would have liked more but fully realise
the difficulties this involves. We thoroughly enjoyed your repertoire
of jokes and Richard is already using your Dr. Bannergee one to
great effect."
