Hiking Tours and Walking Holidays for Small Groups

hike-divider

The best hiking paths and walking routes available, and the logistics to make a seamless walking holiday. The food is good, the inns are welcoming, and the sights divine!

These hiking adventures make exploring on foot extraordinarily enjoyable, whether you want the bouyant company of a small, guided group, or you prefer the independence of being self-guided; in both cases you will have the benefit of vehicle support. Walking tours are a great way to enjoy an active vacation, and can be richly rewarding. We aim to take you to special places, reachable only, or best, on foot. Join a group, or follow a self-guided route. Either way, we care about your walking or hiking experience, and all it entails. We often congregate for picnics and other delights but we rarely travel as a pack.

The guided groups are kept small – usually fewer than twelve, with a minimum of four except on a private basis. We propose scheduled dates, but are able to add new departures you can enjoy privately unless you would like us to invite others along.

On self-guided trips we move your luggage for you, transfer you along the route when planned, and are just a phone call away for suggestions or if you need help. Self-guided tours are available for as few as two participants, on any dates you choose.
