Unrivalled Itineraries

The world at your feet

As walkers of all levels ourselves, we’ve chosen destinations from both a personal and professional perspective for their varied terrains, views and experiences. We’ll inspire you with the iconic and the maverick and show you the flipside of places familiar and those not yet in the guidebooks. The result is an outstanding collection of walking holidays that span an array of interests and abilities - from city sightseeing on foot, to pleasant hill walking to high mountain hiking - all in the greatest walking areas on earth.

Your widest selection

Our holidays are set in different countries and cover different terrains. They take place throughout the year and some are also themed to cater for interests as diverse as cookery, singing, flowers and birds. We display all this information clearly alongside each holiday description, together with the appropriate walking grade. To help, we’ve allocated each walking grade or holiday theme an easy reference icon.


Our walking itineraries


Our itineraries are flexible and fun, showing you the best of the area by foot and taking in the local sights, cultures and contrasts as well as the culinary delights. We offer so much choice to ensure that whether you want a leisurely sightseeing and walking holiday in a classic European city or a trekking adventure in South America, we have the ideal holiday for you. We now even offer tour options that include walking and cruising, cross-country skiing, and winter walking as well as special interest holidays such as walking and sightseeing and walking and cooking.
