David Kinder, Guide

"Always wanted to see the countryside of Tuscany and we love walking although we'd never had a holiday that was totally organised for us before with a guide - it was definitely the best way to see the area as we would never have found the trails and learned so much of the local area without David's knowledge..."

"Dave was an exemplary host - helpful, knowledgable about the area and all things Italian. Very easy to get on with and very patient answering all our qestions..."

" He was a good guide - helpful, knowledgeable and safety aware as well as obviously well prepared. As a teacher who takes kids out of doors I appreciated all of the above."

"Just the right level and each day was very different."

" David could see what we were capable (or not) of and adapted the walks to suit our level and our interests (the wildflowers were amazing)..."

"Dave had a first class knowledge of the area and it was evident he had a clear understanding of some of more tricky walks; gave us plenty of history which added to the enjoyment."

"Very good - felt totally relaxed ie. safe in Dave's hands.."

"...at no time did I have any concerns - a big complement Dave - unlike the other group we met, say no more..."
