I love this company. I used them for a self-guided trip in Amalfi Coast and then booked them again for the Mont Blanc Tour. When it was clear I booked a trip above my ability level, Victoria Gibbs gave me another option that worked great. She really worked hard with me to get me on the right trip, and was always quick in her replies. I felt like she really cared about me. And...the trips are great and well priced.

Positive booking experience

Our booking experience was very positive. Kat was able to adapt the holiday itinerary to suit our travel dates and hotel availability. Looking forward to the holiday!

Devious and dishonest

Devious and dishonest. This company makes promises it can’t deliver. They took an £880 deposit from me for a walking holiday, sat on it for a month, then told me they couldn’t organise it. By this time it was too late for me to make alternative arrangements. Please think twice before getting sucked in by their false promisesI appreciate your response but this really misses the point. The fact remains I have been misled and I am left suffering the consequences. You seem to believe you should be entitled to walk away scot-free. If you had any integrity you would offer compensation. I have asked you about independent dispute resolution and you referred me to an organisation which no longer exists. The founder of your company, Peter Duncan, has washed his hands of it saying he does not deal with “operational matters”. It seems you are unaccountable and there is no form of redress when things go wrong. So, let my experience be a warning to others - PLEASE THINK TWICE BEFORE USING THIS COMPANY

Planning a trip to Puglia

Sent an email direct from the website regarding concerns about limited flight times causing a delay getting to the first accommodation. Prompt reply and quickly reassured about their transfer service operating at any time. Extra info provided re additional extra nights at the beginning and end of the holiday. Very helpful. Told the cost of the transfers. But a footnote added that local train services are available and reliable.

Great experience on the Fisherman’s trail

We had a wonderful time hiking the a Fisherman’s Way in Portugal. The trip was so well organised by Claudia at The Natural Adventure Company. Everything went smoothly from our taxi pick up at Lisbon airport to our daily baggage transfers. We stayed in a variety of small hotels from the very simple to a delightful boutique hotel on the last night - all were spotlessly clean and well-run. I will definitely book with the company again.

Walking in Málaga (Centre-based)

This was our third trip with Natural Adventures, as before, the trip and lead up to it went seamlessly and the communication from Jean and Claudia was extremely efficient and helpful. The self guided routes were easy to follow and the transfers to the trailheads also seamless. The accommodation at Casa Vista was perfect in everyway and restaurant options in the evenings were limited but excellent. We incorporated our trip with a few days in Malaga which we would thoroughly recommend. All in all, a superb holiday with great walking, beautiful scenery and wonderful accommodation. If you can request Casa Visa as accommodation option, we would definitely recommend this too. Thanks Natural Adventures, we are looking forward to our next trip with you next year.

Stunning Adriatic coast cycling holiday

We had an amazing cycling holiday along the Adriatic coast! It was easy to book and well costed. All the local contacts were very helpful and the bikes were great. The service hotline even booked a taxi for us when it was pouring with rain. Only downside was that some of the hotels were a little dated and if booking ourselves we would have stayed somewhere nicer…. Maybe paying for the better hotels would have been worth it!? Wood book again for a different trip :)

Highly recommend / would use again

We booked the Ultimate Scotland trip in March, for travel in September/October. From start to finish our experience with Natural Adventure was fantastic. The planning specialists were friendly with great response time and accommodated all of our requests (specific lodging on some nights; both walks planned around a specific date in Fort William, etc). On the walk itself, the app/digital guidebook provided was indispensable. Would definitely recommend & book with them again.

Massively enjoyable brilliantly organised hiking trip in Albania

I had never done an organised hiking trip before and was not sure what to expect. Also I was not sure about Albania, based on some of the bad press we sometimes get.Having said this, I had THE MOST AMAZING HOLIDAY in a while.The 10 day point to point hiking trip was perfectly organised. Transportation was reliable and on time like clock work. Staff were super friendly.Accommodation was fantastic, guest house hosts were super nice, food was fantastic.Albania, especially hiking in the Northern mountains, is beautiful. We stayed in some absolutely magical valleys. But also the cities in Albania we saw were nice, as were the people.Highly recommended as a travel destination and provider. We will certainly go with the guys again.
