Involved Holidays Reviews 106

Our walking holiday in Majorca from 12-19 April 2024 was a huge success from start to finish. The information provided beforehand was clear and comprehensive and the flight paperwork including boarding passes was provided in good time. I had a couple of special requests/questions that the company dealt with by phone efficiently and helpfully. Flights were great, as was the hotel (Bella Playa) and the walking was excellent with fantastic local guides. Everything worked like clockwork and this was a completely trouble-free holiday. I would certainly use Involved Holidays again and will recommend to friends. Thankyou.

Don't hesitate to book with Involved Holidays! Their hotel standards are very good; hikes are incredibly interesting, and well organised; but what stands out for me is the Tour Guide/Leader. He was incredible. Just returned from Madeira. An absolutely wonderful group holiday.

If you want sunshine, a good hotel, a vast selection of delicious food, near a sandy beach and excellent walks lead by a very knowledgeable guide then choose the Western Algarve for your next holiday. The paths are along rocky cliffs where wild flowers grow in profusion, or in the countryside among fruit and cork trees to reach historic towns. A great holiday with like minded people, it is all there in the Western Algarve.

This was a very enjoyable holiday. It was good to be met at the airport by the resident Involved Holidays rep (João). Throughout the 7 day holiday he looked after the group with meticulous attention and tremendous good humour. The three birdwatching excursions were led by Elena - an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide who ensured that everyone saw as much as possible of the abundant bird life.
On the other days João gave plenty of advice on local attractions including a personally led tour of Tavira.
The hotel was a unique "one off", that sat on its own only yards from the beach.

Great hotel, fabulous location, sensational sunshine, phenomenal food, friendly and helpful guides. Made even more special by all of the Christmas illuminations and markets and festivals.
Great group of people to share the walks and banter with. Had some fantastic laughs and made some unforgettable memories of levadas and bananas. Madeira is one of the best Involved holiday locations on offer.

A truly wonderful holiday. Friendly and efficient rep. Knowledgeable guide, fantastic walks and a fabulous hotel. Largest bed I’ve ever had in a single room. Best choice of foods for breakfast and dinner, ate four courses at each! Lovely bunch of people, never a dull moment. Can’t wait to book my next trip.

The holiday was very well organised from start to finish. Our hotel was of a luxurious standard, with clean well appointed rooms. The food provided in the restaurant was always tasty and a varied menu kept everyone happy for the whole week. The 3 guided walks took us into 3 different environments, with different scenery and flora and fauna. None of the walks were too difficult, and all the group managed comfortably. Our weather was good which made the walks all the more interesting and enjoyable. It was a most successful holiday, and several of the group are going to enquire about future holidays provided by Involved. Return customers is a sure sign of success!

It's extremely easy to book with Involved Holidays and guests are given clear information about flights, transfers, accommodation and itinerary.
The hotel, Vila Galé Náutico, was comfortable and situated just a short walk from the beach.
There were 19 other walkers on my holiday and the guide, John, got to know us all. He is an exceptional rep/walk leader - very knowledgeable about the local area, its customs, wildlife, flowers and trees. He informed and entertained us throughout the day and in the evening. Nothing was too much trouble and we were looked after extremely well, from our arrival at Faro Airport until our departure from it a week later.

This was an excellent walking holiday in Costa Blanca mountains. Our guide Jose was exceptional - the hotel was very good, very close to a beautiful beach.
Booking with Involved Holidays is very straightforward - always a friendly person at the end of the phone.
I will certainly be booking my next walking holiday with Involved Holidays.

This was my 5th Involved holiday and possibly best so far. I am already looking at next year’s brochure!
Went walking in the Costa Blanca mountains, staying in Calpe. Excellent included walks into the mountains with fabulous scenery of coast and country. Visits to pretty, white-washed villages with a chance to sample the local tapas. The walk leader, Jose, was so knowledgeable and full of fun. The hotel is good. Large, comfy rooms with great views. Excellent location close to beach, bars and shops. Plenty to see and do on free days with an old town, marina and coastal walks. Lovely group of 16 walkers. Great company and I’m sure many of us will meet again on another Involved holiday.

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and recommend the Exmoor walks and "Ye Olde" Simonsbath Hotel to future 'Involvers'.

The walks are fascinating and can be quite spectacular particularly the Moorland views, the Valley of the Rocks and along the rivers paths. There's quite a lot of "uppers & downers" and some sections may stretch the occasional walker. You also need to be prepared for inclement weather and subsequent changes to the programme. Our guide, Tom, was excellent and he has an easy and pleasant manner - as did Isaac.

The standard of meals at the hotel were consistently high, our room with a beautiful view was what we liked and our host, Andrew, was most helpful. What a fountain of knowledge he has as we sat around the fire with our 2 friends from Carlisle and indulged in Andrew's extensive bar.

Thank you Andrew, Louise and Staff for a wonderful experience.

Excellent experience “Walking in Andalusia”. Very well organised in preparation for travel with individual requirements catered for. Lovely hotel, right on the beach. Planned and optional walks and excursions were interesting and extremely well organised by the wonderful Manuel. Transfers between airport and hotel efficiently organised. Looking forward to my next trip.

Everything is taken care of in an extremely friendly and efficient manner, from booking and transport to accommodation. Attentive helpful resort representatives and walking guides ensure a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

Lovely hotel with exceptional facilities and food. Excellent informative guides

Great Company to book your holiday with ,Hotel was very good right on the beach ,best walks and our Guide John just made our holiday special

Good communication before heading off on holiday. Very comfortable well run hotel with good food. Transport to walks excellent. Enjoyable day to Granada included. Optional day to Bubion etc did not happen due to lack of numbers

A great holiday. Lovely hotel in Calpe and enjoyable walks led by Jose. Everything was well organised. We have been on lots of walking holidays with Preferred / Involved Travel and this one was excellent.

Just returned from a very hot and stunning Algarve walking holiday based at Armacao de Pera. Our guide Joao was instrumental in making this holiday so enjoyable. His enthusiastic, informative and entertaining manner was much appreciated. The hotel is ideally situated next to the beach and handy for local forays, especially to Lidl and Portuguese patisserie.

Just come back from a great walking holiday in the Costa Blanca mountains. The scenery was stunning and the walks very enjoyable. Jose, our guide, was very knowledgeable and helpful. Calpe itself is a lovely resort and plenty of things to do on the free days. Hotel was good and still can’t get over paying only 2 Euros for a glass of wine in the bar of a 4 star hotel!

We had a bad start to holiday regarding transfer from airport, but overall excellent holiday. Hotel was very clean, excellent food and comfortable beds. Would advise to ask for a quite room not near the bar as hotel music is very loud and goes on late.
