An interesting area to walk and mostly non touristy.Portugal - Mainland
5*: Transfer arrangements went very smoothly and when we needed to change arrangements very easy to do.Spain - Mainland
Hotel Europe: Exceptional staff and really interesting and tasty 5 course dinners that didn’t leave you feeling stuffed!! (but not great if you don’t eat meat)The train journeys in Switzerland are great - treat them as part of your adventure!!Switzerland
The temperatuire in Malta and on Gozo was much higher than average for this time of the year so trying to do any distances, especially the planned walks priovided was out of the question so using the guides was the basis of our much shortened walks was helpful.Malta - Gozo
Everything went very smoothly. The accommodation and food were excellent, the staff very helpful and pleasant. All the drivers were friendly and punctual. We enjoyed the routes and the scenery with the outdooractive app useful. The booklet was easy to follow and detailed.Spain - Mainland
Well organised and enjoyable with good choice of accommodation.
This was beautiful coastal walking, in a really interesting country with super cuisine.Spain - Mainland
Lovely to be looked after so well in the Schweizerhof Hotel, with its spacious rooms and very friendly staff; stunning scenery - we couldn't believe how beautiful it was. Engelberg is very convenient - station and buses very close, Folk Museum and Monastery very interesting to visit, food shops (including one at the station) and post office (also at the station) v close and so it takes not time at all to pick up food for the walk/post postcards etc. Really relaxing.Switzerland
For us it was the ideal combination of exploring a new area independently and having guidance on how to make the most of the walking opportunities. We appreciated being given information about bus services, cable cars etc so that we had a reliable base of knowledge to start from as we planned each day.Austria
Wonderful service and always very quick response to questions. As in our previous trips organized by you, everything went very well and we look forward to a future walking trip.
Overall it worked out well and we were happy with all the arrangements. Our favourite was walking back to Kandersteg from Selden.Switzerland
Excellent service from start to finish. We put complete trust in Newex and were never at any point let down.Spain - El Camino
This has been a wonderful experience. Stress free and relaxing.Spain - El Camino
We had a lovely time - the alpine flowers and butterflies were at their best, and we intend to return. The Bella Tola is a delight, with excellent food and a perfect position.Switzerland
We had a great holiday and great walks together. Thanks to all the NewEx Team for making the holiday possible and so enjoyable.Portugal - Mainland
It was very well organised, the travel and the hotels were great and the walking route lovely.France - Corsica
The hotel du Lac in Menaggio was delightful and we loved being in the thick of things. We felt as if we were living in an opera by Verdi!
Your service is always very efficient and you are all very friendly and helpful.Spain - Canary Islands
Your service and the Aimia hotel were excellentSpain - Balearic Islands
We really enjoyed our holiday, having the GPX files really helped when the paths were not always clear to follow.Spain - Balearic Islands
We enjoyed it enormously. Wonderful place that I shall never tire of and Hotel Meiringen goes from strength to strength.Switzerland
Well organized and a good route with a lovely range of accommodation. It was the best Lucca to Siena VF itinerary that I came across. New Experience’s help when we had 2 flights cancelled on our return trip was truly excellent.Italy - Via Francigena
The contrast of going from Cava (small and quiet) to Amalfi (busier) then back to Agerola (countryside again) and then ending in Positano (bustling again) was really nice. We enjoyed each personality. It was extremely nice to have the baggage transferred so reliably. We have not travelled with this arrangement before and found it to be well worth the money.
This holiday exceeded our expectations. Moderate to challenging is the right description and we had a great sense of achievement at the end. The organisation ran like clockwork and we will definitely recommend this to other people.Spain - Canary Islands
Good varied scenery and surprisingly green with lots of nice flowers - and beachesSpain - Balearic Islands
As usual a friendly and efficient service when booking the holiday. We had a wonderful time. All was so efficiently arranged. Thank you.Spain - Mainland
The weather was amazing (no rain at all whilst walking!) and the scenery was stunning. It all went according to plan we met some nice people. We changed arrangements a couple of times (eg the day on which we wanted to pick up our car) and this was accommodated without question.
It was one of the best we have had. We were so well looked after - we loved our stay in every hotel. Being on the Camino meant we met lots of people too which was great.Spain - Mainland
We had a great time, Iceland has some spectacular scenery. We were a little early in the year to do some of the higher walks, so might have been better to travel in June, but on the plus side there weren’t crowds of tourists so no need to book restaurants etc.Iceland
We enjoyed the walk very much, and are looking forwared to when we can take our next walking holiday.Portugal - Mainland
Very enjoyable. Hotels generally good. Transfers excellent.Spain - El Camino
We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in lovely locations with everything well organised
We were delighted with the area and the Gredos mountains in particular. It seemed amazing to have 8000 ft. mountains. With snow on the tops, in May in central Spain. Well done for finding it! Spain is such a surprising country!Spain - Mainland
Worth waiting two years of Covid restrictions. A lovely holiday of two parts - The walking and then the time spent in RomeItaly - Via Francigena
Thank you so much to you & New Experience for arranging such a wonderful Umbrian Trek! We enjoyed every minute of the holiday. Travelling was straightforward, all accommodations friendly & comfortable, scenery & walking amazing, food & local wine delicious, & the sun shone! My particular favourite was Le Vigne, just perfect. Well worth waiting two years for!Italy
Lovely time to be walking in Umbria
We had a brilliant time, the weather was better than expected, the scenery was fantastic, both birds and archaeology, and we had the most enjoyable time. The Hotels and B&B places were lovely and friendly. Food was excellent.
The holiday was absolutely perfect in every detail. The weather was glorious, which certainly helped, but the choice of walking routes, walk notes, and travel arrangements all worked seamlessly and the accommodation was outstanding. Thank you all so much for such a fabulous holiday.
The walking was great. So varied and not too easy. What was also fabulous was the sea and how you could swim whenever you felt like it. Water was so clean and clear. The accommodation was very clean and always in a good situation. Such friendly people. You have a great team in the UK. I have no hesitation in recommending this holiday to anyone.Greece - Crete
A truly wonderful holiday that exceeded our expectations, wonderfully organised, great accommodation, excellent transfers and good back up with any issues quickly resolved.Spain - Balearic Islands

All departure options discussed. Matthew very helpful as always. The local partners were excellent and very responsive. Overall: Very satisfied.Portugal - Madeira
Whenever we have used new experience we have always had excellent service. We enjoyed the walking and the beautiful coastline it was a lovely time of year to do this walk, spring flowers out everywhere, not too hot and at this time of year the coastal path was not too busy.Spain - Mainland
We had a fab holiday. The walks were great and very interesting.Greece - Peloponnese
Overall it was a brilliant holiday and thank you for being 'on call' whilst we were in Dominica, that made a lot of difference to my peace of mind. You are an excellent company.
Tigaiga Suites is a great place to stay, with a lovely outlook, excellent lay-out and friendly staffSpain - Canary Islands
Our walking was amazing and the hotels very different but all lovely and very welcoming. The remote stillness was deeply impressive, the scenery beautiful and the region fascinating - and deserted, we rarely saw another person except in the villages.Spain - Mainland
5* service prior to departure, transfers very good, efficient and friendly. Hotel and walking documentation both excellent.Spain - Canary Islands
Our guide, Murray was knowledgeable accommodating…and good company. All this despite some of the ongoing restrictions of covid. Newex were extremely helpful as everything was done at short notice.St. Lucia
We loved the island, hotel and enjoyed from start to finish.Spain - Canary Islands
Lovely walking area. The Western Trek opened up a part of the island we hadn't seen before and the standard of walks was first-class.Portugal - Madeira
I had a wonderful time! Relaxing on Sal after my hikes was very enjoyable too, Hotel Morabeza was great. I spoke to other guests who were I think envious of my more varied experience of the islands. Some had been told by their travel agents that flights between the islands was not possible! Of course I recommended they look at New Experience.Cape Verde
You are all always helpful with any questions and quick to respond.Portugal - Madeira
We loved it. Ralf was great and made sure everything on El Hierro worked perfectly. He had made a big effort to share the best scenery, local produce etc of the island. We felt welcomed by the locals. The walk booklet was very comprehensive, well presented, useful format.Spain - Canary Islands
It's a great place to hike. We found the walking quite demanding but most enjoyable.Spain - Canary Islands
We absolutely LOVED the Camino and the bookings you arranged were perfect! We will gladly recommend New Experience to anyone who wants to do the Camino in the fashion we did. Your mix of hotels truly hit the mark with a combination of small comfortable places to the grand paradors of Leon and Santiago.Spain - El Camino
It was a great walking holiday. Accommodation very memorable, especially at the Bell Inn, Selsley & Henrietta House, Bath. We were very lucky with the weather this time - just 1 hour of rain in Bath.
Information and documentation was timely and informative. We hadn't been to Shropshire before and were very impressed. People were very friendly and helpful, the location was beautiful and so peaceful and quiet. We were surprised how few people we saw during our walks.
Great holiday. Service prior to departure: 5*. Ground transportation: All fine and on time and when we wanted to change the plan the drivers were helpful. Holiday Overall: 5*.Spain - Canary Islands
We very much enjoyed our holiday! The walking instructions were great, very thorough and detailed and pretty much spot on accurate. It was our first experience of a walking holiday and we very much enjoyed it. The walks were challenging but pretty much as we expected. The scenery on Gran Canaria was amazing. We enjoyed all of the hotels and found the walking directions accurate and enjoyable to follow.Spain - Canary Islands
We loved everything about this holiday. Good service from your local agent. Fabulous walking, although challenging at times. Fabulous scenery and friendly locals. Although busier than normal in late September in the villages we stayed in, it still felt low key and relaxed. It was useful being able to pick up water taxis to finish a couple of walks!Greece - Crete
Overall this walk was excellent. Such beautiful countryside. Exceptionally well organized. Everyone, without exception were friendly, cheerful and helpful.
We have had a really great holiday and everything went well. We had no problems with finding our way on the routes or finding our hotels. Taxis turned up as excepted and our luggage was waiting for us when we arrived. The only issue we had was no breakfast on the first day at the hotel in Ulverston but were able to get this in town before we set off.
We had a great time. The views were wonderful and we went swimming several times.
Great walking, just the right level for us. Lovely towns and some good food.
Transfers were well coordinated and on time. Baggage transportation was excellent, once again, you put together a very well coordinated walking trip. Had a very enjoyable holiday. Always love walking the Camino. Thanks for putting it all together!Spain - El Camino
Well organised, flexible enough to meet our needs, i.e.separate bedrooms, later pick up times for taxis
Newex always helpful, no matter who we speak to. No problems with baggage, always arrived before we did. Documentation detailed information as always. A good time to do the Cotswold Way, we were so lucky with the weather. All B&Bs/hotels were perfect. Transport always on time. Thank you. 5+ stars.
When little problems arose, it was great to get immediate help on the phone. Personal touch. Fantastic holiday and really enojyed ourselves. Thank you.
Landscape, beauty of walks and the peace was amazing - as was the variety of the walks.
We must compliment you on a great choice of Hotels and B&Bs, all of which provided excellent accommodation and we found all the staff very friendly and helpful. The detailed walks were easy to follow.
Well organised, manageable distances, super accommodation, range of scenery from rocky tors, river valleys quiet villages, attractive woodland all accompanied by birdsong. A super holiday!
Very well planned holiday, we didn't see Bardsey Island until the very last day but that's all part of being on a walking holiday - we will return.
Trip notes & route buddy were excellent guides throughout. Choices of hotels excellent as were the staff in each hotelEngland
Weather was very poor, high winds and rain most days! Overall made very welcome, lovely scenery and good fun. Great selection of hotels enjoyed.
It was really wonderful. The glorious weather, the wildflower meadows, hedgerows and historic villages along the way certainly helped but the whole Shropshire Hills area was magical and a joy to explore.
You seem to be doing the right thing, your holidays are always very good.Austria
All in all, it was likely the best trip we have ever taken. We so enjoyed the self-guided hiking, and your company’s attention to detail was evident.
It was one of our best holidays ever! Your alternate suggestions for when tired/bad weather were excellent. Couldn't have been better!Switzerland
