“Maestrazgo Trek”
Written on: 30/05/2013
Before we set out on our first day of our Maestrazgo trek, we wondered if route finding would be difficult as our trek wound its way from village to village in a remote sparsely populated part of Spain. We'd chosen the region for a spring/ early summer holiday as the hills/ mountains were between 1000 -2000 metres so unlikely to be troubled by melting snow. We found on the first day and subsequent days that the waymarks were excellent and route finding was not a problem. This gave us time to... (read more)

“Gozo relaxing paradise”
Written on: 29/05/2013 by RosieandFrank
From start to finish New Experience organised the holiday to perfection. Our special request of 3 days in Malta to sightsee was not an issue; they found us an ideal central location and arranged everything. Gozo was then the perfect antidote, relaxed, great hotel, stunning setting and wonderful walks. Our guides were knowledgeable and added so much to the experience. We opted for a personal guide which made it even more special. We also managed self guided walks which were easy and fun,... (read more)

“Good value well organised”
Written on: 27/05/2013
I have just returned from a one week walking holiday, organized by New Experience Holidays, trekking part of the Lycian Way Turkey (West), stunning scenery,interesting at times rural accommodation but always clean and welcoming. Some of the less seasoned walkers in the party found the walking quite challenging due to the assents and descents and at times tricky paths. We undertook this walk in mid May, starting out in a pleasant temperature of 25 degrees but reaching a scorching 36 degrees... (read more)

“Fantastic walking holiday in the High Atlas Mountains”
Written on: 27/05/2013 by Bristolwalker
We have just returned from a multi-centre holiday in the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco. We have been on many New Experience holidays and as usual the staff there provided a friendly and personal service. We were met at the airport and transferred to our first hotel (Dar Anika in Marrakesh - excellent hotel with fabulous breakfasts). Our first walking base was in the Ourika Valley where we met out first guide Hussain. He was excellent and told us much interesting information that we would... (read more)

“Nepal Annapurna Foothills”
Written on: 20/04/2013 by georgego (1 review written)
Last year four of us trekked up to Annapurna Basecamp, a great experience, but this year we wanted to spend more time in the foothills area. Starting with a night in Kathmandu is great, but Pokhara is a fabulous place to spend a relaxing time surrounded by great views. Walk starts 1 hr drive from there. Trekking is hard but ok, especially in shorts and T shirt. Lots of tea stops. Lodges are basic but food choice is good and sleeping ok. Most now have western toilets which make it easier. Hot...

“Hotel to Hotel Trek, Santo Antao, Cape Verde. Fab Holiday”
Written on: 02/04/2013 by Pongosey (1 review written)
Originally, my partner was searching for the perfect location for a "blobby" holiday for us in a warm/hot climate but without the jetlag. He said "what about Cape Verde?" so I got into research mode and that's when I happened upon New Experience and discovered the amazing walking opportunities on the beautiful island of Santo Antao. We are walkers anyway and I thought this holiday sounded far more exciting, adventurous and the island more beautiful and unspoilt than lying on a beach for a... (read more)

“Superb experience”
Written on: 03/12/2012 by dar7imlil
We went on a walking holiday in the High Atlas mountains of Morocco in November 2012. From the moment we first contacted New Experience everything was a pleasure. All the arrangements were flawless. The hotels were interesting, in keeping with local decor and culture, and warm and welcoming. The walks were glorious ( we were fortunate with the weather), contouring up valleys, across cols, and between beautifully located Berber villages (and a Marabout shrine). All the trails had wonderful... (read more)

“Brilliant Walking Holidays”
Written on: 27/11/2012
We have just returned from our eighth New Experience walking holiday and they have all been excellent. The New Experience team always answer enquiries promptly, and give a personal and friendly service. The accommodation is always carefully chosen to be both characterful and friendly, and the walking booklets are always accurate and make finding your way easy. The New Experience brochure states that they provide the sort of holidays they like to take themselves, and in our opinion they... (read more)

“The Greek Peloponnese - Outer Mani Trek - May 2012”
Written on: 07/06/2012 by GeoffUrch (0 reviews written)
In common with many travellers, we have visited Greece many times over the years, always taking in a new destination. Some friends of ours who also have a love of Greece suggested that we try the Peloponnese. I browsed the internet and came across 'New Experience Holidays'. Their website was excellent and I began to explore the possibiltity of trekking in the 'Outer Mani' area with them. I found their staff to be very patient and helpful in response to my initial enquiries, whether by... (read more)

“My excellent experience with New Experience Holidays ”
Written on: 29/05/2012 by pnld
To set the stage my spouse and I are from Canada and we were randomly looking for a hiking experience from our starting point of Barcelona; our only criteria was to go east or south. Our excellent experience begins with finding New Experience Holidays (NEH) on the web after a quick search for hiking opportunities around the Mediterranean. We were very impressed with NEH website experience. Scads of detail, nothing left to figure out or guess for oneself; many other sites we saw were far less... (read more)

“Dominica Walking & Relaxation Holiday”
Written on: 20/04/2012 by Griffithsfamily
We went on an Easter (10 day) break with New Experience in 2012. New Ex chose two excellent hotels for us. The first was Papillote which was located in beautiful lush rainforest gardens. We had two suites which were basic but comfortable - the warmth of welcome by the staff was exceptional and we enjoyed our 4 nights there. Food was plentiful and tasty (particularly breakfast). This is a good area for exploring the SW corner of the Island - highlights included the trek to Boiling Lake with... (read more)

“New Experience is a brilliant company for walking holidays”
Written on: 11/04/2012 by kiwiwalkers
They are so good that we have been on 9 self guided walking holidays organised by the very trusty New Experience staff. Their choice of destinations, their brochures, the attention to detail, the walking notes & the very personal service make walking holidays fun & hassle free. The standard of accommodation they arrange offers variety to suit most needs & it is reassuring to know that at least one staff person has completed the walk & used the accommodation they recommend. Their walk notes... (read more)

“El Hierro”
Written on: 11/03/2012
Great walking destination, very different from other canary islands. Much smaller & quiter, Guide said he new 80% of the population after a few days I believed him. All arrangements made by New Experience Holidays wer eecellent the attention to detail is superb. Getting to the island is quite a task, but Newex new all the ways. It is not for eveyone I am sure but if you want to get off the beaten track, then give this island a go, and Newex seem to know it better than anyone. (read more)
