I can’t recommend this trip enough! Our retreat coordinator, Amy, was absolutely incredible. She thought of every detail—from planning amazing experiences to even scheduling bathroom breaks—so all we had to do was relax and enjoy ourselves. Of course, there were bumps on the road, physically and metaphorically! No one can control everything, and there are bound to be bumps along the way, no matter how well everything was planned! And, Everything was planned so well! Amy’s fun personality, attention to detail, and genuine care for everyone made the experience even more special. Amy has a way of making everyone on her trips feel like part of the family and not just another trip with a faceless tour guide. Ireland and Scotland were breathtaking, and this trip created memories I’ll cherish forever. I had the best time and am already looking forward to my next adventure with Amy. If you’re thinking about booking a trip with her, do it—you won’t regret it!

We rate this adventure 3 stars. Why? We travel to learn about other cultures, meet people and have fun. We have been on 4 other tours that have had consistent leadership. This tour worked differently and did not feel as cohesive and ‘put together’. I felt Amy could not figure out if she was a tour leader or a member of the group. She seemed burned out. There was obvious confusion and hurt between Amy and the bus drivers Liam and Tonka. I thought it was professional of Tonka to give Amy her boss’s business card so she, Amy, could discuss her grievances with the supervisor instead of doing it publicly in front of the passengers in the first few seats. I thought the bus drivers did a great job of relaying history and attractions even though I suspect we went of generic tourist attractions. Candra’s half done ghost castle was a great addition. It was very special. The several other trips that we have taken as walking vacations, whether led by one singular guide for the entire trip or by several site specific sub-contracted guides or drivers, have made the physical expectations of the attendees very clear in the marketing materials. These have included specifics about distances, length of time and elevations changes. This seems to have worked well for each past trip, until this one. Perhaps this could be made more clear in Walker Wellness materials, well beyond just the implication of the company name. And equally as important, our expectation that the tour leader would adjust the pace (or decompress schedules as needed for the slowest members of the group) was not met. I cannot help but think that the gap between the expectation and the actual conditions may have contributed to two falls. Did you know there is a difference between the Vaults and Closes? We had the time, after you all left, to stop and visit the non tourist spots on the Royal Mile, like the old Kirk (church) near Hollyrood. The church had a great summary of Scottish history and it put all of the disjointed information that we learned together, for the first time. We enjoyed our group and had fun getting to know the people. I hope all continues to work out well for Louise. I hope Bekah enjoyed her birthday tour. Rich and Julie Sanders

This trip was fantastic! The scenery was spectacular, the company even better. The tour guides were great. All accommodations were top notch. The boat was really incredible. The food, the staff were all so accommodating, we couldn’t have asked for anything more! Thank you Amy for arranging everything.

What an amazing trip!!! Everything was planned well and each activity was great! Amy made this epic trip easy!!

Our Vietnam and Cambodia trip was truly unforgettable. From cruising through the breathtaking limestone landscapes of Vietnam to exploring the rich history and culture of Cambodia, every day was filled with incredible experiences. The people were warm and welcoming, the food was amazing, and the itinerary offered the perfect mix of adventure, culture, history, and relaxation. Highlights included kayaking in Halong Bay, visiting ancient temples, exploring bustling local markets, and learning so much from our knowledgeable guides. This journey created memories we will cherish forever, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a meaningful and immersive travel experience.
