The world is more beautiful on foot...

The nature of our holidays not only gives you an 'up close and personal' experience of your destination but travelling in a small group also reduces the environmental impact.  We are a social enterprise with a not-for-profit ethos: our profit is channelled back into supporting access to the great outdoors and people living in the less-advantaged destinations that we visit. 

In the UK, through the Ramblers Holidays Charitable Trust, we support the Ramblers and other smaller outdoors charities. We also offer direct financial support to walking groups through The Walking Partnership. In order to aid our sustainable tourism ethos, we run a staff-managed initiative called Heart & Sole, which directly supports communities in the destinations we visit.

1946

We have been specialising in guided small group walking holidays since 1946. 

200

We now offer over 200 guided walking holidays in the UK, Europe, and Worldwide with grades to suit all walking abilities.
