Dear David and Alison
We are basking in the afterglow of our wonderful time with you in Wiltshire. We enjoyed some golden weekend days in London, then flew back to our workaday lives in Florida, still picturing one of the most memorable holidays we've ever had.
All of the arrangements made by FootTrails were superb, and efficiently done. David's guidance and companionship on the walks gave depth and meaning to the sights we saw. The choice of trails and scenery was inspired. We can't say enough about the excellence of FootTrails and the perfection of our holiday with you. Many, many thanks.
