What to expect on our Guided Walking Holidays
You first meet your holiday hiking companions at the designated arrival airport or train station. From there, you’ll then be taken directly to your hotel, where you can settle in before your guide gives you a short welcome briefing.
We offer two types of guided walking holidays: centre-based and village-to-village. On our centre-based holidays, your hotel soon becomes your relaxing home-from-home, making it easy to unwind at the end of each day’s walking. On our village-to-village guided walking holidays, you stay at a different hotel each night of the holiday. Whilst accompanied by our guide on each day’s walking, your luggage is collected and moved on to your next overnight stopover, so that it is waiting for you on your arrival each afternoon.

All of our guides are English-speaking, knowing their respective destinations intimately. Their job is to take complete responsibility for navigational duties, allowing you to enjoy the magnificent scenery with your fellow hikers. Their wide-ranging knowledge makes each of our guided walking holidays a real opportunity to return home after your experience, having been furnished with a fascinating range of stories, legends and information pertaining to your chosen destination, whether they concern the flowers, the fauna, the geology, the culture, or the history of the area.
