'Thank you very much for the opportunity to have a complementary trip on the coastal Walkway Tour.  This is a fantastic product; I have travelled extensively and taken part in many day tours throughout the world.  Our guide was great, she gave a very informative commentary without talking flat out, and it was very interesting.  I will not hesitate to recommending this to clients, friends and family as a great day out,  it actually got me feeling very passionate about the Coromandel.  As I said on the phone I have wanted to do this for a long time, it certainly made it hassle free, and not having to walk back in one day.'  - Jacqui Williamsom,  Go Holidays!
