Exceeded our expectations in every way

The Walking in the Greek Islands tour, our first with Calder & Lawson Tours, exceeded our expectations in every way: the places we walked and stayed, the organisation, the tour guide and trip leaders, the value for money and the fun and great company of the people on the tour. We will definitely do another Calder & Lawson tour and will recommend them to everyone we talk to!

Kevin was an incredibly unflappable guide

Kevin was an incredibly unflappable guide and his ability to improvise on that day of the storm was remarkable. Also, the group of people on the tour were very lively and friendly.

outstanding trip with a variety of adventures, activities, transport & food

Top marks to C and L for an outstanding trip with a variety of adventures, activities, transport and food. Our guide was beyond excellent and our group jelled very well. We learnt lots about Japan and had lots of fun on the way. Thank you, Kevin, Alistair, Mayumi, Louise and Rochelle, as nothing is too much trouble.

simply excellent from start to finish.

My wife and I recently completed the Nakasendo Trail in Japan with C & L tours. It was simply excellent from start to finish.

Calder and Lawson tours have all met my expectations

Without fail Calder and Lawson tours have all met my expectations. The itineraries are well thought out and I find they attract like-minded people. The tour managers are excellent as are the local guides in each country.Donella, Discover Borneo 2024
