'We've done a number of these walks over the years and have always been impressed with the service from the different companies involved. However, Embark added a couple of small - but very useful - extras. Firstly, we very much appreciated the personalised bound booklet with specific information relating to the day's walk and how to find the accommodation at the end of the day, plus details of local taxi companies and bus/train services should they be required.'
'Extremely well organised with impressive attention to detail. We would definitely use Embark again.' Jane from UK

'We did have a brilliant time, and were so amazingly lucky with the weather. It was great not to have to worry about any of the practical arrangements for baggage, lifts and accommodation… that all worked really well. All the people we encountered in the hotels and B&Bs were

'So thank you very much for all your planning and organisation, and the amount of detail you put into the preparations. The guidebook was easy to use, and it was really helpful to have the accommodation and pick up points clearly marked.'
'It all went very smoothly, which enabled us to just concentrate on the walk and enjoy ourselves. It’s quite a hard walk with all the hills, but very tranquil with some cracking views. The weather was rather disappointing and it was pretty misty and boggy, but it could have been a lot worse. Glyndwr’s Way has been on our wish list for quite a few years now, so it feels really good to have finally walked it.' Susan and Harry from UK

'It was so helpful that you provided information regarding meals and the need for taking lunch with us. We would have been hungry many days without your warnings. It’s my recollection that your booklet was much more useful than those provided by the guiding companies on our previous trips. We really felt the personal touch!' Susan, Barb and Gretchen from USA
Offa's Dyke Path 2024
'I had gorgeous weather after the first two days and when I was up on the ridge I felt like I could see to the ocean. It was stunning! And I saw loads of wild ponies. Some came right up to me at one point. And Hay-on Wye was lovely. Highly recommend people take a day if they can there!' Nicole from USA

'We had wonderful stay in Wales. Especially, the first week in Pembrokeshire was an unforgettable experience. It’s such an amazing spot and we hope to return one day.
We felt that the parts of the Costal Path were well chosen. Every day was different. The weather was really good: we could say that we didn’t have any rain.
Everything was perfectly organised. We could just relax and walk: Thank you very much for enabling that wonderful experience!' M from Germany
