A very nice experience, really wonderful views and a funny and knowledgeable guide. - Patrick
Both our tours were lovely, thank you for accommodating us. Guides were friendly and the children had fun. Thank you for a lovely experience. - Summerwood
We had a fantastic trip on the Featherbed Eco Experience. The staff were all very helpful and friendly, from the start to end - the reception staff, in the cafe, to the boat and our guide... We really enjoyed the walk, with amazing views and the guide was very informative. We chose not to have the meal, as my wife is gluten intolerant. We would highly recommend the experience and thought it was good value for money. - Gwyn
It was very well organised. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. We had a lovely time. Would recommend it and do it again! - Judy
The tour was excellent in all respects. The boat, guide and facilities all great. We would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to learn more about the area, see some great views and get some exercise. - Michael
