If you've got this far, just book it, you wont regret it. - What a wonderful experience. We stumbled across Thom's house when out for our own walk, and after a passionate chat about the local scenery we booked in for a walk for 2 days later. Thom took us on a beautiful walk (with his amazing dog Jax), up to one of the highest points of the south if the island, where we enjoyed a beautiful sage and honey tea with an incredible view. We had some extra time and because it was out of season we got treated to a drive and a swim at Achata Beach, with was by far our favourite spot on the island. We've never done a guided walk before and the conversation flowed so easily across a range of different topics. Thom is a pleasure to be around and we will book another walk at the drop of a hat when we come back to the island. A pretty perfect day!

You will be surprised - We did two hikes with Art and Walk. The Valley and Profitis. "We" are Roy Awater and Elise and Peter van den Berg. Both walks were a great experience. Renate and Thom do their very best to make you feel at home, show you the most beautiful places and tell you a lot about the island, its history and special stories. We did the valley with Renate and start in their own backyard and is doable for the less experienced runner. Profitis we did with Thom. This hike is more challenging because you make quite a few height meters. Arriving at the top you have a fantastic view. We have done it once now but who walked the same route 3,100 times? Renate and Thom are open minded and treasure people. We had a lot of fun and talked a hundred times about everything and everything. I'm not going to reveal too much, but you'll be surprised by the beautiful nature and by Thom and Renate.

Top experience - Last minute we booked this hike one night in advance, what a must! Thom and Renate are very enthusiastic, know a lot about the area where we walk and the history that goes with it. And what a beautiful view when you're upstairs. When we are back on Karpathos we will definitely book another hike with them.

Valuable experience - Was a nice walk with many beautiful spots! Upstairs at the church you had perfect views of Achata beach! Fun all the facts about nature and surroundings that Renate and Tom tell while hiking. My next walk is already planned in September:)

You must travel with Art and Walk if you want to get the most out of your holiday! - Nice trip with competent and warm guides! They have a lot of knowledge about hiking, nature, the island's history and contemporary conditions. The tour is both social, informative, beautiful and good exercise! They also serve coffee and delicious fruit. I recommend a walk down Art and Walk if you want to get the most out of your holiday at Karpathos!
