Customer Reviews:
"One of the best guided trips I've done."
"I got my money's worth—outstanding organization."
"Loved everything about this trip! As an experienced traveler with high expectations, I was truly impressed."
"BEST. TOUR. EVER. Seriously, this was the best trip ever. Seasoned, well-informed, experienced guides; fabulous off-the-beaten-path hikes; thoughtful itineraries; excellent restaurants; lovely accommodations. From day one, the hardest decision was choosing what to eat and which bottle of wine to order!"
"For the past six years, I've hiked with Customwalks in Italy, France, Greece, and Spain. Why? Because the trips are fun! The guides are knowledgeable about history, regional food and wines, and always do their best to make the experience enjoyable. The hikes take you through beautiful landscapes, both famous and off-the-beaten-path. I’ve visited places I never imagined, made new friends, and enjoyed fantastic food and wine. I look forward to more trips with the guides and, of course, more Italian gelato. Grazie mille, Customwalks!"
"Another great trip with Customwalks! A wonderful balance of hiking, dining, and exploring remarkable sites in southern Spain. The guides were fantastic, and the trip was well-organized. Andalusia is fascinating—centuries of enlightened Moorish rule with beautifully preserved sites. Flamenco culture added another layer to the experience. I enjoyed a week where my biggest decision was red or white wine. With Customwalks, you let go of the stress of planning and simply enjoy the journey."
"This was our first trip with Customwalks, and it was exactly what we wanted. All we had to do was get to Venice, and the rest was taken care of. The guides were experienced and tailored hikes to our levels. The food scene was fantastic, and we dined at local favorites. My wife had the adventure of a lifetime on the Via Ferrata trail. We were so impressed, we returned for our anniversary in 2019 for a tour of the Dordogne region of France."
"Brett and his team at Customwalks do an excellent job organizing all aspects of the tours. The hotels are great, and the restaurant choices are superb—so much delicious food! They plan for every possible scenario, with flexibility built in to handle any changes, like weather shifts or road closures."
"Customwalks offers incredible hikes and tours. My trip to the South Island of New Zealand was unforgettable. We explored tropical forests, alpine landscapes, and remote areas. We had some schedule changes, but each one made the experience even better. I can't wait for my next Customwalks trip!"
"Both of my trips with Customwalks (Cinque Terre, Italy, and Provence, France) were exceptional. The teams behind these tours are professional, with a deep knowledge of the area, and they make sure every detail is taken care of. Their local expertise and fun spirit made these journeys unforgettable. I’m already planning my next Customwalks trip!"
"Hotel accommodations and food were excellent. I was really impressed with the guide's attention to selecting menus that reflected the flavors of Tuscany. The scheduling was efficient, and there was no wasted time waiting around. Pretty terrific!"
"I had a blast. It was an amazing trip, more diverse than I ever expected. The perfect mix of hiking, history, culture, great food and wine, and fantastic people!"
"Brett, the week in Sicily was the best. Your enthusiasm, knowledge, and great sense of humor really made the trip special. The trip mates were wonderful. Thank you, thank you!"
