Thanks very much for a great holiday which we all loved.

—The Harwood Family, England, 2010


We are back in Canada and looking very fondly at our photographs of Dorset. The beauty of the landscapes is unforgettable. Thank you again for arranging such a wonderful experience.

—Ras & Janani Grewal, Canada, 2010


A delightful walking trip through Dorset. The itinerary and lodgings that you organized were all first-rate; we followed the directions easily .... through lovely areas of still-rural Dorset. We have enjoyed telling our friends about staying in 16th century inns that had gourmet food.

—Charlotte Rea, USA, 2010


Thank you for putting together a wonderful walking holiday for us along the Jurassic Coast. The walks were planned just as we requested. The accommodations were friendly and comfortable. The highlighted lunch stops were just right. And, of course, the scenery was magnificent ... . We also greatly appreciated your restaurant recommendations. Even the taxis you arranged were flawless. We look forward to another Footscape walking holiday in the future.

—Tom Uffelman, USA, 2010


Many thanks for all you did to make our Thomas Hardy walking tour such an enjoyable holiday! We had a wonderful time exploring Dorset and a lovely stay in Cerne Abbas. We would highly recommend Footscape to anyone and look forward to another walking holiday in the future!

—Sharon & Carol Booth, USA, 2010


We had a very good holiday. Thank you for organising it for us, everything went well (including the weather), the accommodation was very good as were the restaurant recommendations and also the luggage transfers.... we would certainly use your services again - and have already recommended it to our friends and family.

—Barbara Harrison, England, 2010


Our walking holiday along the Jurassic Coast was wonderful; we had great weather (no rain) and the hotels, the route details and the luggage transfer were all very good. So thanks very much. ... A great holiday which we will recommend to friends.

—Brian Everitt, England, 2010


Thanks so much for all your help and hospitality. Both Jack [age 7] and I really loved the walk, and Jack was very proud that he had a certificate to prove that he walked 11 miles.

—Alana Dave, England, 2009


Thank you for the wonderful time we had... We would recommend you to anyone wishing to tour in England. Your personalization of the tours to our varied needs enhanced our enjoyment of our vacation. Thank you for everything.

I was as happy as Larry from beginning to end. I would definitely recommend the place and your company to friends.

The weather was fantastic as was the walk... The organisation was superb - everything ran like clockwork... Many thanks for doing this so well. Hope to walk with you again some time soon.

—Tony McShane, England, 2009


My mum and I had a wonderful break and it was lovely discovering the beauty of Dorset, an area which I've not been to before. Thanks again for your help and advice ... . I'd definitely recommend Footscape to friends in the future.

—Catherine McGarey, England, 2009


We thought it was one of the best holidays we have ever had... We could hardly fail to be captured by your enthusiasm for your subject.

—Elizabeth Wilson, England, 2008


I was very pleased with everything... The B&B's all were friendly, clean and very hospitable, the routes well timed. We also very much appreciated the mentioning of good pubs and greatly enjoyed the historical background! My son also agreed that we never could have planned a good trip like this on our own, so I am interested in more walks with footscape - thanks a lot!

—Utah Siedentopf, London, 2008


We would like to express our appreciation to you for organising what must rank as one of our most enjoyable holidays... It was a wonderfull experience and totally relaxing.

—Nigel & Felicity Hocking, Australia, 2008


We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Dorset. The combination of fabulous scenery, perfect weather, your detailed descriptions and notes and the plentiful blackberries made all the walks truly memorable. We loved our B&B in Corfe Castle, and I can't think of any improvements or suggestions to make.

—Margaret Klein, USA, 2007


I really enjoyed the walks around Purbeck Peninsula and found your directions easy to follow and detailed enough to not worry about getting off track. We were so fortunate to have such good weather. Thank you for a wonderful time in a beautiful area. If anyone asks, I will very honestly recommend Footscape.

—Dolores Afainer, Colorado, USA, 2007


Many thanks for your splendid and very personalized service. Footscape provided us with a great escape and we both had a marvellous time.

—Jane & Anne, Scotland, 2007


We would like to express our thanks and appreciation of your thoughtfulness, careful planning and the individual attention we received, which made our holiday in Dorset so enjoyable.

—Louise & Neil Page, England, 2007


It was a wonderful walking holiday. I enjoyed every minute, and thank you for all you did. I shall be back visiting next year and I hope the opportunity to come down to Dorset will present itself again.

—Hilary Adams, Australia, 2007


Just wanted to pass on a "thank you" for a very enjoyable walking trip ....; (and) excellent accommodation. The last day's transit into Lulworth Cove was indeed memorable.

—Peter & Caroline Rowand, Canada, 2007


We had a great time and regret that we did not spend another day or two taking the walks and seeing the gardens. We were very lucky with the weather and we were very fortunate to have made the connection with Footscape. We very much enjoyed and appreciated the detail that you provided each day in our Dorset holiday...from the train arrangements, to the well planned walks and tours, comfortable accommodations, restaurant suggestions and the coda of Stonehenge. I have already mentioned our trip to some lady friends who will consider a holiday with Footscape next year.

—Pat D’Auria, New York, USA, 2007


We are so happy and satisfied with our vacation and walking in Dorset! You had arranged a wonderful trip for us! Your guidebook was excellent, the accommodations were great and it was also very good to have your recommendations for lunch and dinner places.

—Anna & Robert Sandstrom, Sweden, 2007


I just wanted to thank you again for the excellent service and support you gave me on the Thomas Hardy Tour.

—Lorne Atchison, Canada, 2007


Your intimate knowledge of the Dorset countryside and coast made each choice of trail, pub or cream tea stop an absolute winner, not to mention the delightful B&B and its charming proprietor that was our Dorset home. You knew enough and cared enough to respond to - and often anticipate - our every need. Thanks so much for the pictures and the use of the camera - just one more example of your outstanding personalized service - something unmatched by any of the big ‘name brand’ companies I have used for similar hiking trips. Our walk with Footscape was the highlight of the summer for my son and me, and your service and attention were outstanding in every way.

—Tom Couvares, Connecticut, USA, 2006


Thank you very much indeed for putting together our walking break last weekend. It was excellent. … Dorset is stunning. …. For folks like us just looking for a short injection of health, it was perfect and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

—Ed Howell, London, 2006


Just a short message to say how very much we enjoyed ourselves over the past few days … . Thank you for your many kindnesses … and for the excellent pub recommendations. We thought that our two B&B's were first class...

—Malcolm Stathers, England, 2006


Thank you for a most enjoyable few days in your part of the world. I really appreciated the organization that has gone into the planning of these walks. From my point of view, as someone who likes to be independent, it is the perfect way to walk on some of the paths in England, on my own - or in my case with two other very interesting walkers from Canada - knowing that someone knows where you are...

—Bev Golding, Australia, 2006


...You bent over backwards to ensure that our every need was met... I need scarcely say that I shall recommend Footscape most highly to those seeking a memorable, worry-free holiday in one of England's most beautiful and unspoilt areas.

—John Stone, Canada, 2005


I would like to tell you how much I appreciated my walking tour in Dorset. This was because Footscape’s organisation was so efficient, pleasant and personal.

—Dwight Rodrick, Switzerland, 2005


We all had such a great time in Dorset... Lots of happy memories… and many convivial pints. We expect to be back next year to do more. All good wishes to you from us, and thank you again for a marvellous time.

—Susanna Johnstone, London, 2005


Just a note to say thank you so very much for your expertise, advice and friendly smile on our walking trip last weekend. We had a fabulous time in Dorset.

—Jenny, Carol & Claire, London, 2005


Our days with Footscape last week were delightful... Your combination of attention to detail and comprehensive thoughtfulness, unobtrusively offered, left us free to enjoy the walking and greatly enhanced our appreciation of the Dorset landscape.

—Margaret & Paul Duckett, England, 2005


Thank you for organising our walk last week. We both had the most wonderful time. It was a fantastic introduction to walking in Dorset, thanks again for a superbly organised trip.

—Ben Meritt, England, 2005
