“Having a good guide who loves his work and great travelling companions definitely made the trip much more enjoyable”

I had an amazing time with Steve and Jane when we visited Dorchester yesterday. It was my first time going on a walking
expedition, and I must say that Steve did a fantastic job! He did his best to help us enjoy our walk. Before the journey, Steve
checked the weather and recommended a change of itinerary due to the cold wind in the afternoon. And during the walk, he
repeated checked on us to ensure that we were alright. The trail we took had lots of interesting things to see and the pace was
comfortable.
Coming from Singapore, I learnt quite a bit about things not experienced in my city - history, culture, wildlife, agriculture and
landscape. Having a good guide who loves his work and great travelling companions definitely made the trip much more enjoyable!
I would recommend SPR Expeditions to anyone who loves to explore nature and would like to do it safely. I'd like to do them again
myself when I'm back in Oxford!
