Solo Hiking Faroe Islands
"I wanted to see the Faroe Islands but it seemed mysterious and logistically challenging. I came across Trips to Walkabout and they made this fairy tale beautiful place accessible to me. Their restaurant recommendations were incredible, they listened to my interests and planned accordingly, setting me up for some of the most amazing outdoor hikes I've ever done. They were there for me over and over again as I had questions or anxieties about being in a remote place. This is the best trip I've ever been on and it would absolutely not have been possible or as enjoyable without their insight, experience, and expertise." ~ Michael J
Christmas Market Cruise
I would recommend anyone looking for a wonderful adventure to work with Clare. She really took care of every detail, anticipated our needs and made the trip so special. I would highly recommend her to plan your next trip. She made our Christmas market trip memorable!
Family Christmas in Europe
"THANK YOU so much for all your expertise, diligence, knowledge, and enthusiasm as you help us make our Europe dreams come true! Every time we speak, I feel seen, heard, supported, and more and more excited about our trip. You take the intimidation factor out, you add fun details and special treats in to the plans, and you make the planning process fun. I genuinely appreciate all that you are adding, and I look forward to continuing to work together." -- Stephanie N
Hiking with Friends in Sardinia
"I loved how Clare customized this trip for us, as we wanted largely to do it on our own. She was very resourceful in finding someone on the ground in Sardinia who helped pave the way for an amazing hike on the Santa Barbara Camino. She genuinely wanted this trip to be a good one for us and she paid attention to all the details. We felt well informed throughout the whole process and there were no hidden costs. I feel lucky to have worked with Clare on this journey and hope that many more people have the privilege of working with her." -- Maureen C
Anniversary Mediterranean Cruise
"There was NOTHING that I did not enjoy about our absolutely AMAZING & AWE-INSPIRING Mediterranean Cruise! I LOVED every minute of it! The entire 2 weeks with my husband CELEBRATING our 25th Wedding Anniversary was EPIC & definitely the TRIP-OF-A-LIFETIME! Ya’ll are AWESOME! We were provided with every trip detail we needed & it was HANDS-DOWN the BEST TRAVELING EXPERIENCE we have ever had with THE VERY BEST TRAVEL AGENT EVER!" -- Nicole J
Private Group Ireland & Scotland
"This is our first experience with Clare and Trips to Walkabout. Clare was extremely helpful and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process as well as during the trip. Her expertise and enthusiasm for travel off the beaten path was what we were looking for, and she did a fantastic job getting to know us and tailoring a trip to fit the diverse interests of our group of 8. We will definitely turn to Clare for any upcoming travels abroad. Job well done!" -- Anne C
Golf & Hike Getaway
"Clare was great, she helped me narrow down my choices for hikes, dinners, and shopping, in places my husband had picked for golf." -- Carol T
