ABOUT OUR TRIPS
Walking Holidays in Europe and beyond. Experience the world’s finest European and World-wide walking holidays through regions steeped in history and culture, awash with nature and rich in gastronomy. Walking trips offer a perspective of travel different to that by other modes of transport.
A Walker’s World have compiled a selection of independent (self-guided) and guided walking holidays in Europe, South & Central America, India and Africa that represent the best value for money for the standard offered. Many of these walks are chosen from personal experience of the A Walker’s World team. This ensures accurate grading, quality of service plus interesting routes.
Accommodation is in typical hotels, often family-run, spaced a day’s walk apart. For this reason, hotels can be of varying standards, between 2-4 stars. The pace is your own. Luggage is moved on to the next stop while you walk.
Go with an open mind and a spirit of discovery, so your experience will be a rewarding one. |
Popular walking routes that have been offered during A Walker’s Worlds' 18 years of operation feature areas we believe to be high in natural beauty and offer cultural and historical interest. Our full European and World-wide selection is too numerous to feature, so please enquire if your chosen region is not shown on this website.
On these trips you are literally travelling in the world’s backyard, where local people go about their daily routines as they have done for centuries. The people are culturally different so do not expect things to be as they are at home.

Guided Rambles
Our European guided walking holidays are made up of small compatible groups that number no more than 16, made up of different nationalities. Trips are graded indicating the degree of difficulty to allow you to choose a walk within your capabilities. To a certain degree you can take advantage of the backup vehicle to walk as little or as much as you like.In the evenings you stay at characteristic, comfortable accommodation, usually two and three-star standard. You can share simple regional cuisine with like-minded people – your tour party!

The Way Of St James, Northern Spain – "The walk was brilliant. The notes were informative and easy to follow and we stayed in beautiful places. The hospitality and friendliness of the hosts was outstanding People knew you were on the pilgrim trail and we had some interesting conversations along the way - not understanding much but lots of hand waving and nodding ! We had beautiful food - simply cooked and very fresh - always with lovely red wine. We were superbly looked after all the way - people went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. I'm a fan of these types of holidays where you can really get a sense of the way people live and the history of the place. I'm looking forward to the next brochure !
Many thanks Therese for all your work."

We were pleasantly surprised that on some of the walks we hardly saw anyone else at all! Our accommodation was gorgeous all the way along and the walking notes really easy to follow. All the arrangements were seemless and it just confirmed our life long love of
