Feedback From Our Clients
Utah Siedentopf, London:
"I was very pleased with everything. Especially with the weather!!!! Well done! 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."
Elizabeth Wilson, England:
"We thought it was one of the best holidays we have ever had. We realise how incredibly lucky we were to have not only the best weather of the year but to have met such a considerate and thoughtful guide who assessed our walking abilities and planned many extra visits to sites in Dorset which we would never have found for ourselves. We could hardly fail to be captured by your enthusiasm for your subject."
Nigel & Felicity Hocking, Australia:
"We would like to express our appreciation to you for organising what must rank as one of our most enjoyable holidays.

It was a wonderful experience and totally relaxing. We are hooked and are now starting to think of the next one!"

"The hill walking was the best. 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."
Margaret Klein, USA:
"We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Dorset, especially the Footscape part. 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."
Louise and Neil Page, England:
"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. �.. The routes were very carefully planned to enable us to experience the most beautiful landscapes and villages, as well as to allow for enjoyable refreshment stops along the way. We also appreciated your recommendations of local pubs and restaurants for dinner each evening, allowing us to enjoy some excellent food in addition to all the other benefits.

"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."

Tom Couvares, Connecticut, USA:
"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."
Ed Howell, London:

Bev Golding, Australia:
“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.

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.

“…. The attention and service you provided were nothing less than superb, and the trail guides and maps you supplied us gave excellent directions for each day of our hike, including most helpful recommendations about pubs and hotels for meals.

I am greatly looking forward to come back next year in order to do another walk with Footscape. Merci pour tout.”
