"Hadrian's Walk Hike.

My son and I walked the entire 84 miles from Newcastle to Carlisle during the pandemic period and had no issues at all. 

Trek was absolutely stunning once we got out of Newcastle with fantastic views along the entire route and  B&Bs provided a cooked breakfast plus packed lunch if we wanted. 

I would absolutely recommend this trek."

 

 

 

 

 

"The mont blanc family adventure tour was trully awesome! Amongst very pretty nature, mules, group full of positivity and very accomodating friendly guide! We worried a little if we had sufficient fitness level before the trip, but the group pace accomodated for all levels and of course animal needs. 

 

One of a kind experience, totally inspired to do one more with utracks next year in a different location. Particular thanks to the trip advisers who helped with booking and preparation (the prep guide document was trully helpful) and of course our guide Fred!"

 

 

 

 

 

"I would not call it a group tour, it was a self-walking Camino De Compostela trip. We could not enjoyed it more. Although, it was anticipated to be the busiest month for Camino, especially this part from Sarria to Santiago, last 115 km, it was truly not. Due to the pandemic, it was much less people on the road and in the villages that we were passing through. UTracks was extremely efficient with preparing all documentation ahead of time and communicating every details to make our preparation very smooth. 

When we arrived at the starting point, package with all materials was already awaiting us. From the begging to the end point, we were invisibly guided daily with detailed maps and narratives, providing not only information for major stop points on the road, but various detours. We had not experienced any issues with hotels, luggage pick-up and delivery or eating arrangements. 

It was not an easy time as you have to follow the rules, such as wearing masks when entering populated places or resting points, keeping social distancing. But I would say, everyone was playing their roles to the script and we had not experienced any special discomfort or inconvenience. 

It was a great value for the price. Also hotels were very basic, service was impeccable and if you want a higher-end hotels, it should be a different price. We got upgrades in two places and were very happy about it. 

I would definitely continue to work with UTracks in our future travels. Hight recommend this company. Thank you for making our trip memorable and giving us an incredible experience.

"Our holiday was booked at the last minute and the location was changed due to quarantine restrictions. UTracks were great at sorting this out for us. I loved the cycling and the opportunity to see the Portugese countryside. It's a lovely holiday if you don't want to lie on the beach everyday. I recommend UTracks and hope to take another of their holidays soon."
