I attended the Wild Wellness Retreat in…

I attended the Wild Wellness Retreat in Wales last July. The location, people, activities and food were amazing. However I paid an extra £210 for a single person tent. There was a hole that needed taping up with a single camp bed. They kindly changed this to a futon but the tent was freezing. I had no wood burner. It was only after looking in other guests tents I had no sea grass mats or rugs. I feel I didn’t have the same comforts that the sharing tents had.
I would engage with to team to ask if this has now changed before booking a single occupancy tent. Tbh I thought I would have been offered a shepherds hut not a huge tent to myself. After contacting the team they just said they’d pass on the feedback. Unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend Adventure Tours because of this.

Thanks for sharing your feedback with us Helen. I'm delighted you enjoyed the location, the experiences and the amazing food - all of which are aspects we work so hard to ensure provide our guests with an exceptional retreat experience. Unfortunately we did feel let down by our accommodation partner on this particular date and again we are very sorry the single occupancy tent they erected for you wasn't up to the standard expected. As explained at the time last year, although these private tents are of a temporary nature unlike the permanent tents occupied by the guests who are sharing, which does mean it's not possible for a wood burner to be provided, we were disappointed with the camp bed situation ourselves. As you say our team promptly changed this for you to ensure you had a comfortable bed for your stay and at the time we believed you were happy with this solution. We did discuss the situation with our accommodation partner and although thankfully this situation did not occur again, we still took the decision to part ways with them as it's critical we have 100% confidence in them to deliver to the same high standards we and our guests expect. We're pleased to say the Wild Wellness Retreat has been relocated for 2023 and is now in beautiful alachigh tents in leafy South Wales. These are only available on a shared basis, which the majority of our guests are comfortable with, as we have recognised that trying to offer a private glamping option can lead to a reduced experience, which is at odds with the premium that is required to cover the cost of creating a private space. I hope you recognise that we took your feedback very seriously and quickly put in place remedial actions, and that one day we will have the opportunity to welcome you back on another adventure. Best wishes, Claire

Southwest 660

We did the Southwest 660 by car and had a great time, much helped by Poppy at Adventures UK. Luckily we got back before the snow! We stayed in Weymouth, Torquay, St Austell, Newquay, Instow and Dunster and saw pretty much everything there was to see on the way round, we actually did 716 miles.

I really enjoyed the Winter Wellness retreat, and returned home feeling refreshed. We were well looked after, and the yoga, walks, food and company were all good. Being at the Centre for Alternative Technology was an added bonus - I felt the environment was being looked after as well as us!

It’s exactly what I need after a wet winter and recovering from an accident , gentle introduction to Nidra yoga, great trainer, guides, location , food and companies. Meeting like minded people. Is an added bonus to see CAT after 40 years. Looking forward to have new adventure with Adventure Tours UK .

Glorious Welsh trails!

My second private trail running weekend with Adventure Tours. This time we were a group of six. Another brilliant experience of fantastic hill running, great organisation and accommodation. Particular mention for our running guide, Tim for his expertise, support and unfailing patience, with great advice to take home and put into practice. We had a lot of fun on the ups and the downs. Hoping to do it all again next year!

Llangollen Hills

A brilliant weekend in Wales hill running! Was apprehensive as I am the wrong side of 60 but Tim was an excellent coach and full of useful information and tips on techniques and nutrition.
The hotel was excellent and the weather played it’s part!
I would recommend this trip to others.

Ah Sue that's wonderful to hear, I'm so glad you enjoyed your time trail running in our beautiful Welsh hills. Tim is indeed a wonderful coach who's main aim in life is to keep everyone running well into old age, so you have a way to go and with Tim's tips you're sure to be running for a long time yet! I look forward to welcoming you back for more hills next year! Best, Claire

Llangollen hills

We spent an amazing weekend in Llangollen hill running with Tim.

Firstly the accommodation arranged at the Wild Peasant Hotel was excellent. A really comfortable hotel on the outskirts of town.

Tim lead us for 3 runs. Being a runner of the slower variety, I was nervous about the experience but I did not need to worry. I kept up, enjoyed the challenge of hill running especially the down bits (lol) and the views .... just being out in the Welsh hills was awesome.

Tim was an amazing run leader, he loves imparting knowledge and was incredibly interesting. I learned an awful lot. His recommendations for lunches and dinners were spot on too.

Would I do it again? In a heartbeat!!!

Thank you Tim and team.

I look forward to welcoming you back for round 2! Best, Claire

I went on the surf/ yoga retreat in wales and it was the most refreshing and adventurous break I’ve had in a long time!
We had an amazing host- Sarah who took care of us the whole trip. She was so personable and made us all feel very relaxed!
The surf instructor Don was fabulous who took the time to help us battle the waves and the yoga instructor Remi was equally as great. It was a perfect balance of activity/ relaxation. St.David’s is also a lovely little place.
The hotel was lovely, especially the breakfast:)

I would definitely recommend this trip and will be booking with them again in the future!

Thank you so much team!!

Can't wait to book again!

Claire and her team at Adventure Tours UK are amazing! First of all, they stuck with us for nearly two and half years as we started planning our trip less than one month before Covid changed the world. They patiently waited out the chaos with us, while staying in touch on occasion to be sure everyone was still following the same train of thought.

We traveled as a private tour with just our family because the group tour we wanted was not offered during the dates we were available. Claire managed to create a replica of the tour with a few extra personal adjustments. We stayed in adorable boutique hotels, we had drivers and private or nearly private guides for all of our activities, and we never had to think about what was next because everything was done and arranged in advance. We met amazing local people full of knowledge and skills that adapted our adventures to our liking: Adam, Jamie, Harry, Ed, Josh, Anita, John and Steve. We even ran into Anita the kayak guide later in the week as we were venturing out on our Coasteering trip with Steve (do NOT miss this by the way, it was amazing!). On our own, we never would have found these amazing local guides from small or independent companies who know the area and have the skills to make your day glorious. We followed Claire's recommendations for restaurants and were not disappointed. In fact, the only food fail we experienced was the one time we attempted to choose on our own instead of following the advice on our itinerary. There was one moment when a taxi driver didn't show up on time, but Claire and team worked their magic and had the day re-arranged in no time, ensuring that we still worked in all of the planned fun for that day and the only inconvenience to us was that we had to enjoy a cup of coffee while she made it all work. Can't complain!
We would absolutely book with this company again, and in fact I hope we have the opportunity to do so as there is so much more we'd like to experience.

Ah Beth you're an absolute superstar! Thank you so much for sticking with us throughout all the disruption that covid threw at the world. I'm just so delighted that not only did you finally get to have your Wales adventure, it was absolutely worth the 2.5 year wait! So much has changed since you originally booked, it certainly wasn't straightforward to deliver so long after it was first planned. I'm glad we could make it all work and thank you for being understanding of the small adjustments we had to make here and there as we re-planned the tour for 2021 and then re-planned again for 2022! We got there in the end :0) Thanks again to you, Mike and Ethan for being such wonderful guests, we truly can't wait to welcome you back for another adventure. Claire x

We have just returned from a wilderness yoga retreat in North Wales. The glamping site at Corwen was fantastic and the Yoga and paddle boarding combination a great idea, we loved it all. Sarah and Harriet were perfect hosts and the food was a highlight. We will definitely use Adventure tours UK again.

One of the best travel companies I’ve used

Our Guide was amazing and consulted us constantly on which routes we were planning to take. He was also super knowledgeable about the area and the local fauna and flora. All the logistics were taken care of which is great if you don’t have the time to organise things yourself. We were given all the relevant information beforehand.
Our accommodation was central and very comfortable.

Lovely mindfulness weekend in North Wales

Recently returned from a wonderful ‘Mindfulness walking weekend’ in beautiful North Wales. It was an amazing experience all round, from the accommodation to the pleasant company. With the added extra of an evening of star gazing with a local enthusiast.

The mindfulness walking and professional guidance was lovely and calming, with lots tips and tools to takeaway and use in your everyday life.

I would highly recommend this trip for anyone interested in knowing more about mindfulness and putting it into practice while walking in the beautiful peaceful surroundings.

Thanks for a memorable weekend

I am not someone who would typically explore mindfulness. I was sceptical about it but am glad I went. The accommodation was great, the hotel staff very helpful. Claire was lovely company and really passionate about delivering the best experience for us, and Belinda, the mindful coach, made the mindful walking a really fun and interesting activity as well as delivering all the benefits that mindfulness has to offer. I cannot recommend this activity and this company enough! If you’re thinking about booking a break with them just do it!!

Thank you so much for your kind and enthusiastic words Ian, that really means the world! It was great to see you embrace the mindfulness aspect of the trip and as the day progressed it was clear it was making more and more sense to you. Safe to say, by the time we'd all had a little snooze during the final meditation we were feeling pretty relaxed as we headed back to the pub! Thanks again for joining us, it was a pleasure to host you and I look forward to seeing you on another adventure soon. Claire x

Just returned from trail running weekend with my daughter 26 y old
Most brilliant experience by this company by Claire , Amy and Co
I’ve been running for many years but learned so much from the amazing international fell runner Tim Higginbottom leading our runs and his extensive knowledge passed on to us
Yoga with Kirsty was just the thing after running too
Don’t worry regarding pace as chilled runs with stops to talk technique etc and get a breather and photos
2.75 mile sunset run on Friday followed by Saturday and Sunday 10-11milers with tuition
Scenery was spectacular
Food was exceptional and plentiful from local chef eleri_eats
using local produce
Bell tents spacious with twin beds , log burner and plenty of warm blankets and duvet
Toilet and shower facilities near the tents
Will definitely return and I’d definitely recommend this experience *****

an unexpected five star weekend that has reset, body, mind and soul

Set off full of trepidation for the Trail Running Weekend as woefully under prepared but I shouldn’t have worried. The weekend was amazing & my running mojo has well and truly returned. Claire and Sarah looked after us from start to finish. All I had to think about was running & yoga. Tim is a fabulous coach and totally tuned into all our different abilities and goals. He is full of helpful top tips and enthusiasm. A perfect guide / coach. Yoga with Kirsty was a great introduction for me. Glamming experience was stress free and cozy warm despite the sub zero nights. Food nourishing, wholesome and appreciated.
Overall, an unexpected five star weekend that has reset, body, mind and soul. Claire - you have a cracking business. Keep doing what you’re doing

Aww Pam, you've got me beaming from ear to ear :0) Honestly, after seeing how anxious you were when you arrived, I'm just so happy you trusted in us to look after you and well done to you for getting stuck in despite how under-prepared you felt. I knew Tim would look after you. His whole ethos is about getting everyone around safely and enjoyably, at a pace that is manageable for everyone in the group, so I was confident you would be fine but I appreciate how intimidating it can feel at first. Well done, you should be so proud of yourself for what you achieved this weekend! I hope we can welcome you back on another adventure soon, though if you fancy something more chilled like the Holistic Wellbeing Retreat where you can really get stuck into to your yoga, I would completely understand!
