Footfalls Walking Tours and Holidays in Ireland and the UK

These are just a sample of some of the comments that my wife Teresa and I have received over the years. On behalf of both of us we would like to take this opportunity to thank all those of you who took the time to either send us a card or comment directly to our web site. Should you wish to make direct inquiries from any of the following, we will forward their address to you with their permission.

Dear Mr. Stacey,

I'm back in DC, and when my friends ask me how my trip was I explain to them that I am in a state of grace. I have been pruning my photos (and I lost about two days worth -- oh the humanity!), and when I get my act together I will post them and send you et al a link. I will be sending a proper thank you soon, but I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for the week you provided us. Who knew? Who woulda thunk? that it would be so, so, so, so very, as the Irish say, grand.

I've not forgotten about the college alumni organizations etc., but I'm digging out from under at work, and preparing for two interviews this week. I'll do a little noodling around for you soon. I've probably already signed up half a dozen customers for you.

Christopher, you should immediately change your title to "Spirit Guide." It suits you.

I had a serious talk with Big Patrick when I was in that little church in Lisdoonvarna, and I think he will help me get Nelly (see pics badly attached) to Ireland.

Thanks for the kindness, stories and laughter,

Molly

we want to thank you for the wonderfull hiking journey we had with Foodfalls in
the Wicklow Mountains.
Everything was organized perfect and with love for all the important details!

A month has past now since we enjoyed our walking expedition in Ireland -- time to re-adjust to Toronto time and to reflect on the wonderful time we had in Ireland. We want to thank you so much for maps and information sheets and for transporting our luggage from place to place. We were surprised to see how well-marked the Wicklow Way was. We didn't get lost once! Also thank you for picking us up at Rathdrum and transporting us each day to the beginning of that day's hike. We especially want to thank you for taking us directly to Powerscourt on our last day when my knee just could not face another long hike. We very much enjoyed the relaxing time we had at Powerscourt, lunch on the verandah and time to browse around the beautiful little village of Enniskerry.

We were also very happy with the accommodation you provided for us. Each B & B hostest/host welcomed us with a cup of tea and a welcoming greeting that made us feel at home. They all provided us with a warm comfy bed and a hearty breakfast the next day as a send-off for our day's hike.

We also want to make a special thank you to Yvonne of Coolakay B & B who took us in when we were not able to stay at Brook Cottage and also drove us into Enniskerry the next day so that we could get the bus into Dublin. Also a special thank you to Sheila (Mary Drexler's daughter) who picked us up in Enniskerry and took us to Coolakay.

Thank you, again. We enjoyed our stay in Ireland immensely.

Good Day Christopher,

I just wanted to thank you for the fabulous trip we had in Ireland. The country side there is really spectacular and we really appreciated all the arrangements you made. We were pretty tired at the end of some days but were ready to go again the next day. It was the first walking trip we have done but hopefully it won't be the last.

Thanks again - it was a great trip which we will always have good memories of.

Hi Christopher,

I am writing to ensure that you don´t forget about the "Donegal & Antrim Group 2009" ;=) because I definitely won´t.

Thanks again for the beautiful week!
Now, my family and friends feel that if they ever travel to Ireland they should go walking with you...and they are not allowed to go without me ;=).

I really would like to walk the Wicklow Way (...immediately ;=) ) so it is very likely that I come back!

P.S.: I´m going camping this week-end - thanks to your packing list I have my own flash light for the first time ;=)

Dear Christopher, Teresa and Anouk,

We enjoyed very much our tour in Antrim.
Amazing nature, spectacular views, excellent B&B's. Good weather also.
No complaints at all.
Next year the lake district, maybe.

Hello Christopher and Teresa,

We just want to let you know that we've had a great time in Ireland.
It was our first visit to your countrie and we are impressed by the beautifull nature and the excellent
hospitality of the people. We had a very warm welcome at all the b and b's were we stayed. Our compliments
for finding us those great places!

We enjoyed the walks very much, you gave us good information and the Wicklow way is marked very
properly. The fact that we didn't need to care about our luggage made it even more relaxed. So we had a wonderfull time and we will recommend your travel organisation and the b and b's were we stayed to other people for sure.

Thanks again!

Hi Chris,

Ger and I had a thoroughly enjoyable time in Wales with you and I particularly wanted to thank you for your patience on Saturday as I took forever to descend Snowdon, I know. I will keep up the walking and hopefully you will see a big improvement the next time we meet.

Thanks for everything, the hotel, the transport and all the great knowledge that you showed of the beautiful area of Wales that we all enjoyed so well.

Regards
Terri Cullen

Dear Christopher and Teresa,

I would like to thank you very much and the rest of your team members for the wonderful experience that we had in Ireland at Glendalough, Wicklow.

We would like also to thank Anouk for the wonderful night at that traditional dancing pub were we went. It gave us a real taste of Ireland culture.

Any one of us will have no doubt on contacting you again if we have the possibility in the future to discover more of the beautiful Ireland.

All the best,
Joao Pedro Frade
