The following is a selection of comments from people who have joined our guided botanical and autumn walks over the past 24 years:
...Thanks to you both for two excellent holidays which we thoroughly enjoyed. Four weeks of great weather and fabulous flowers... My favourite was Thasos, which for us scored with the Nostos [accommodation], tavernas, and cafés on the walks - those cakes!! - and the company, as well as flowers and villages and walks and general ambience. D. & R.G, Frodsham
Once more time to say thanks for a great [Akamas] trip, as ever, well organized and so enjoyable - I was sorry when we finished.
Thank you for the excellent week in Pilion... I learned a lot and we both found the ambience very pleasant and relaxing... We hope to be able to join another Marengo group in the not too distant future.
Thanks for leading a most enjoyable holiday, the whole group were very pleasant company.
Thank you for another great series of walks. We particularly enjoyed the amazing views.
Many thanks for the lovely botanical walks - we all thoroughly enjoyed the holiday and learned a lot about plants and flowers.
People still say how much they enjoyed that holiday.
The pleasure of a week in your guidance.
We greatly enjoyed the Cotswold walks.
Thank you again for a particularly enjoyable holiday.
Thanks again for a very enjoyable week with the wild flowers of Plakias.
Thank you for all the trouble you took with us in La Gomera. It was a wonderful week and I enjoyed everything. Your knowledge of the plants was total and I learnt so much.
Many thanks for the super walks in Symi. I really enjoyed them (as usual).
Thank you very much for the splendid week in the Akamas. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the renewal of the experience of totally reliable leadership.
Thanks for the wonderful days - of the whole party, we were probably the least knowledgeable, however we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
We both enjoyed our holiday in Plakias and to be shown so many different habitats and species was an added bonus.
...to thank you for setting us on the right botanical track.
We would like you to know how much we enjoyed our week in Polis. It was a great week and we have the photos to prove it.
You've converted us all to flower power. Many thanks.
Thank you for making this the best holiday yet.
Thanks very much for two day course. It's revived and rejuvenated our
interest and wakened a few old memories.
We are very much looking forward to walking with you again this year.
Everyone who had been on a holiday with you was very pleased.
Thank you for finding us yet another excellent location and for your unbeatable shepherding!
Good to hear that your virtues as a guide are being widely proclaimed!
Thank you very much for all the effort you put into making such an enjoyable holiday for us.
Thank you for a great week's walking. Our first experience of group walking was brilliant; it was fun - as well as being quite a challenge some days - but above all it was good to walk alongside experts happy and willing to share their knowledge and humour. Look forward to doing it all again next year.
Thanks again for a wonderful holiday - hope to see you again next year. Weather has deteriorated dramatically since the walking week finished and you left - that's what I call leadership!
Thank you for Karpathos, especially the Olymbos trip. Looking forward to seeing you in Turkey next month.
This is to thank you for all the trouble you took with us in La Gomera. It was a wonderful week and I really enjoyed everything. Your knowledge of the plants was total, and I learnt so much
... but it was really the excellent organisation provided by Lance Chilton that made it such a memorable experience. Lance knows the area like the back of his hand and is happy to share his enthusiasm for it with us.
Thanks for another enjoyable and informative week. The [Thasos] countryside is lovely and the variety of flowers marvelous, it is a joy to have the beauty enhanced by such expertise and erudition. I do appreciate alll the hard work that goes into what becomes such a pleasurable holiday for the clients. Look forward to joining you again in the not too distant future.
Your walks are a real pleasure.
Just a few lines to thank you for a truly marvellous [Dolomites] holiday - scenic, walking and botanic heaven all rolled into one - couldn't ask for more. I am sure all your groups appreciate your hard work and dedication that gives us such memorable trips and personally my spirits were really lifted by such a special experience.
Thanks again for a splendid trip. We both enjoyed both weeks immensely.
