“We really enjoyed our holiday <strong>and</strong> the excellent combination tion it offers of good exercise, scenery, food <strong>and</strong> drink. We had fantastic weather, <strong>and</strong> with our joint love of swimming, we e managed to swim in all the lakes!! (not <strong>just</strong> the major ones s on the tour!). Thanks for a wonderful holiday we have come home refreshed <strong>and</strong> feeling extremely fit <strong>and</strong> healthy – hope to see you again next year.” S. <strong>and</strong> P.
