Frequently-asked questions about our Walking tours in Europe
What types of walking vacations do you offer in Europe?
We offer three different types of small group walking tours in Europe. The first type of walking trip covers a selection of the best walks or trails in a particular region of Europe; using motorised transport, we travel to different walking locations each day and stay in different places each night. Our
point-to-point European hikes take on a more traditional trek or pilgrimage style where you'll walk from one overnight stop to the next. And on our
European centre-based walking holidays you'll stay in the same hotel for the duration of the trip and travel to explore different locations by foot each day.
How challenging are your walking tours in Europe?
Our walking trips to Europe vary in difficulty from Easy through to Challenging. We've
graded each trip accordingly to help you to choose the best trip for your experience and ability, whether you're an occasional walker or a seasoned hiker. Take a look at our
Eastern Algarve Portugal trip or
Taste of Italy tour for a gentle introduction to our walking vacations. Or, for more of a challenge, join our
Tour du Mont Blanc that takes you on a hike through several countries in the European Alps.
Are your European walking tours suitable for solo travelers?
Absolutely! All of our small group walking tours to Europe are ideal for those of you who are traveling solo. In fact, almost half of those joining our walking holidays do so alone, so you'll be joining lots of like-minded adventurers on our walking trips. Your local tour guide will also be on hand to support you and make sure you enjoy the journey. Read more about our
