Self Guided Walking Holidays

Go your own way into Europe’s most scenic landscapes

Self Guided Walking Holidays

Independent walking gives you freedom. Whether you pause or power on, the choice is up to you: cherry-pick your sightseeing stops along the way, decide to linger a little over your lunch, or set off an hour earlier to catch the coolest part of the day. And with our in-depth trip notes to keep you company, you’ll never feel rushed, or alone.

Created especially for our self-guided walking tours, the trip notes are personally tested by our experts and give you detailed kilometre-by-kilometre descriptions, with all the information you need for a smooth experience. You’ll get recommendations for the best lunch and rest spots, excursion routes and notes on places of interest. And on all of our self-guided walking trips, we’ll transport your luggage for you between your hotels and provide high-quality support through local suppliers, as well as 24-hour emergency assistance if required.

Please note: Almost all our self-guided itineraries are offered as Land Only (excluding flights from the UK)

Your words, not ours

“Having the freedom to make your own decisions was liberating. You can take a break when you like, so if you know there’s something special at the end of your day walking, you can set off early to spend more time there. We had the freedom to go off and do things however we chose. Just the two of us and peace and quiet – bliss, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.”

Customer Chelley Richardson explored Sardinia

This is a beautiful area for hiking, and the variety of self-guided hikes we were given was great. There was everything from short easy rambles to long challenging climbs. The Bellevue Hotel was wonderful, with awesome service and delicious food. Definitely an experience I would be happy to repeat. The only negative factor was that, although we never got lost, some of the route notes could do with updating. It seemed that total hike distances were often understated. Also, we did the last tour of the season, and found that some of the refugios mentioned as lunch stops were closed. I would recommend that anyone going late in the season check before setting out, or be sure to carry your own food.

This tour was a welcome change from the fast paced touring of the big cities. We became familiar with the topography and vegetation as we hiked daily, also visiting towns known for wines and cheeses. The town of Chianciano provided a magnificent backdrop to our accomodation of Agriturismo La Pietriccia. We were awakened every morning to the rooster crowing. Stefano was an attentive and knowledgeable host. Plenty of food was served at the 4 course suppers. I feel this tour was necessary to complete my knowledge of the culture of Italy!
