Before you go on a Ramblers Worldwide Holiday

A guided walking, hiking or trekking holiday with Ramblers Worldwide Holidays is an exciting and fun experience.  When you book, you will receive a General Information Booklet from us, which can act as a guide for pre-holiday preparation – here’s a round up of what you may like to think about.

Know before you go on your holiday

It is always a good idea to read up about the country you are visiting before you go - there is useful travel advice from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s Travel Advice Unit by following this link.

Pre-holiday essentials

• It’s important to make sure your passport is valid and in date and if you need a visa for the country you’re visiting, you make all the necessary arrangements.  We can provide you with all the information you need and, for some holidays, we can process visa applications for you.  If you need to apply for a new passport or a visa, please allow plenty of time before your departure date to ensure you have them in time.

• Think about your travel health, what to take and how you can keep safe on holiday, and make sure you have taken out the appropriate travel insurance.  Again, make any arrangements as far in advance as possible.

• Ensure you have all the right airport, railway station or cruise terminal information and have made provision for  parking or taxis so there’s no ‘last minute dash’ on your departure day.

Responsible Tourism and your walking holiday

Since our earliest holidays over 60 years ago, we have been committed to responsible tourism in all our destinations and the nature of our small group holidays means we tread softly wherever we are.

We can all be proactive when it comes to minimising our impact on the environment when we travel. Find out about how you can contribute before and during your holiday, from supporting organisations like Climate Care, to taking care to keep your destination beautiful whilst you are there.
