Our Tours, The Guide

Trip Ratings

These are busy, hotel-based tours that feature a lot of moving around, sometimes by train and journeys on local transport. These tours feature easy day walks and walking tours of towns and cities for which you should be prepared to be on your feet for several hours. Trips that occur at high altitude and/or require greater independence with baggage handling (at hotels, airports, train stations) also fall into this category.

Most of our tours fall into this category and feature day-walks at low-to-moderate elevations on undulating terrain. These trips do not involve any camping; you carry only what you need for the day and our luggage is either transported to our next stop, or we return to the same hotel for our overnight stay. These trips are usually a mix of walking days and rest days in towns or cities of historical and cultural interest. Although no previous experience is required, being physically fit and steady on your feet on loose and uneven surfaces are important.

These treks can occur at moderate-to-high elevations with some walking on steep and uneven trails. These trips usually involve camping and a greater degree of "roughing it," though our local crew will set up camp and prepare your meals. Our larger pieces of luggage are transported for us and you carry only what you need for a day or two. You should be prepared to go without a proper shower for a couple days, though some of our sites feature some surprisingly modern facilities. Previous mountain-walking experience is desirable and physical fitness is important. A few walking days may be long, though spaced with well-earned rest days in interesting or beautiful places.
