About our Walking holidays

Explore offers a range of small group guided walking tours in destinations across the world – whether you’re exploring ancient ruins, traversing incredible mountain scenery or taking in windswept shores.
 

On our small group graded walking holidays you'll have an expert tour leader to guide the walks and show you the must-see highlights, as well as the hidden gems off the beaten track. On more remote or challenging treks our leaders will be supported by additional guides and support crew, making sure you remain safe and supported on your tour.
 

As well as the planning the best route, we'll also organise the accommodation and luggage transfers for your trip, so all you need to do is walk and enjoy the journey, knowing we've sorted the logistics and help you to experience the very best of your chosen destination.

Frequently asked questions about our Walking holidays

 

How difficult are our Walking tours?
Each of our Walking trips has a difficulty grade, so you can find the best trip based on your requirements and activity levels. For people going on their first walking holiday, or who want to slow down and explore a destination at a comfortable pace, we offer leisurely and moderate paced tours. If you're looking to challenge yourself with a hike or trek, we offer challenging to tough graded trips. These hikes include bucket list treks like Kilimanjarothe Inca Trail and Mount Toubkal.

How does a small group walking holiday work?
We offer different types of walking trip. Some walking and hiking trips are point-to-point, while others are single centre-based. Many of our trips include a selection of the very best walks in the areas you visit. We’ve answered some of your most-asked questions about our walking holidays in this blog.  

How can I prepare for a walking holiday?
We recommend that you do some training and ensure you’re comfortable with long walks before you set off – how much training you need will depend on the grade of the trip you’re travelling on. Closer to your departure you’ll want to start thinking about what to pack, and what snacks and equipment you might need. Read our blog for tips for preparing for your first walking trip, such as what to pack and how to train.
