Holiday: WC06 - LEVANTE RIVIERA WALKS We spent five days over the New Year walking the Levante Riviera coast around Sestri Levante. It was fantastic to take a short flight and transfer to a lovely family hotel, mountains on one side sea on the other. Xtrallusion provides a very thorough walking itinerary, choose your walks, jump on the train for 10-20 minutes and you are off. There is time for exploring the coastal towns as well as having a good days walking. It is all so easy, without feeling that you have been organised. It was just what we needed - fresh air, peace and quiet, breathtaking views, a range of walks, local trains and a typical Italian family run hotel. Thank you Mike. I am sure we will be back. All the best Karen Karen Stamper, Cambridge, England.

Holiday: ER002 - PISA & the CINQUE TERRE The weather was perfect, food and drink wonderful and of course the company (my son) was good too. We kept on being mistaken for Germans which didn’t please us [!] but all in all the Italians were friendly and helpful and in most cases spoke good English when we were floundering with the lingo. The leaning tower of Pisa booking office lady was probably the only exception to that. Xtrallusion specifically.... yes, all in all what you did was very good, we had a great time - thanks. Nick Page, Perth, Australia

Holiday: WC03 - RIVIERA COAST & MOUNTAINS We did so enjoy our adventure with you and haven't stopped talking about it to anyone who will listen, I have put all our photos on a disc which we play through the TV on a big screen, makes quite a show! We have recommended you, your company and your daily adventures to many people so do hope that you get some return from some of them. We really did appreciate the effort you made to make sure we enjoyed each day to it's fullest, even if we did get the map reading wrong the first day and walked miles out of our way!!!! Thank you for all your hard work at setting up your company, your excellent web site that brought us to you and most of all your great company and organisation on our daily excersions. Xtrallusion was a highlight of our trip, Thank you. We wish you well Kindest regards Heather Heather & John Molloy, Basil & Sue Turnbull, Wellington, New Zealand

Holiday: WC01 - WALKING the CINQUE TERRE plus Pisa Our holiday booked through Xtrallusion was seamless from start to finish. I would have no hesitation in recommending Xtrallusion and have already done so to many people - many, many thanks for all your help. Kristine & Kenny McAdam, Pitlochry, Scotland.

Holiday: SB002 - LEVANTE RIVIERA SEASIDE BREAK What can I say, we had a great time, your itinerary ensured that we discovered the best of the region. We would like to return again with some of our friends, for perhaps a long weekend, to do some walking, on the mountains, and visiting again some of the little villages of the Cinque Terre with their delightful food and wine and ambience. It was wonderful to discover a company like yours 'with the personal touch'. Your choice of hotel was excellent, it is very reassuring to know how careful you are in selecting the hotels that you use. We wish you every success with your business in the future. Carol & Terry Jull, Surrey, England.

Holiday: WC01 - WALKING the CINQUE TERRE We have just returned from our most enjoyable holiday in Sestri Levante. We loved the hotel and the town, which seemed far less "touristy" than that on the Cinque Terre. The walking was great, though the steps were hard - going, worth it for the views though, and we had a good day in Genova and got thoroughly lost, so saw a lot more than otherwise !). Thank you so much, for arranging our holiday and making it so easy. I should certainly use your company again and shall recommend it to my walking friends. Maggie Jeays, Staffordshire, England.

Holiday: ER002 - PISA & the CINQUE TERRE We were delighted with our hotel in Manarola, very comfortable, spotlessly clean and the family were very friendly. Manarola, and indeed the whole Cinque Terre is an attractive area - you get a wonderful surprise when the train exits the tunnel and you get your first glimpse of the coast - and we were very impressed by the emphasis on recycling and ecologically friendly practices. I always feel you get more out of a holiday if you attempt to communicate in the local language, and although I never got out of the present tense, it was fun trying to buy tickets and order food in Italian! Wasn't quite prepared for the steepness of the hillsides on the suggested walks - and being rather unfit, our trek from Monterosso felt like a Himalayan expedition - a swim in the sea was a welcome reward. Would certainly consider going back. Rona Macdonald, Tony Dawson, Glasgow, Scotland.

Holiday: ER002 - PISA and the CINQUE TERRE We really enjoyed our few days holiday in Italy.The walking in the Cinque Terre was wonderful and your description of the hotels selected as charming and in an excellent position was very accurate. The hotel in Manarola was particularly attractive and the proprietors very kind and helpful. Thank you for arranging our holiday very professionally,we will recommend you to family and friends and hopefully return ourselves. Mr & Mrs Foster, Liverpool, England.
