HOW EASY ARE OUR WALKING TRIPS?

Our tours are meant to be leisurely at an enjoyable pace that lets you appreciate the delicate details. We stop to appreciate the wildflowers, pause in a medieval churchyard, or savor whatever else may strike your fancy. The support van is on hand at pre-scheduled points along the route for those who choose to accept a ride. On all of our tours walkers can opt to walk in the morning and/or the afternoon. Each destination offers interesting non-walking activities for anyone who wishes to spend the time enjoying other pursuits.
