Our recent client Helen wrote: “I enjoyed most the lovely accommodation, decent food, good itinerary and the lovely village. I felt looked after (responding to my dietary needs, being so attentive to make sure I was getting everything I needed) and it felt personal. John’s tuition was great, as was his flexibility around our days, his willingness to flex, his real concern that we have a great experience – all round great.”
Our recent client Ann wrote: "The photography locations were varied, interesting and ensured that we explored an area of Andalucia that we might not otherwise have seen. The best group I’ve met up with for a long while, great fun, laughs..."
