From joining a Mont Blanc guided walk in the French mountains to hiking and biking in Andorra, Europe walking tours are no fleeting trend. As millions traverse its age-old cobbled streets, they discover a continent stitched together with stories, culture, and landscapes. Get to know Rome as you explore the Fontana di Trevi all the way to the Colosseum; walk from Piazza della Signoria to Oltrarno in Florence; and explore the romantic boulevards of Paris, with attractions like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. To take in the rustic charm and natural splendor of Europe, there are walking tours of the Dachstein Alps in Austria and the islands and mountains in Croatia. You will also find a myriad of self-guided walking tours around Europe.

“Thank you for all your help, and the office staff. Overall, we had a lovely time. The scenery of the Cilento National Park is spectacular. Walking holidays are very popular now and people are always looking for new places to walk. We will certainly recommend the area to our friends, with the proviso they check out the current state of the trails if they are going to do walking. We are thinking of doing a cycle tour in Puglia at some stage in the future, and will definitely keep your company in mind. One final point regarding the accommodation. We particularly liked B&B Vittoria as the owners were very accommodating and friendly & sat down to dinner with us which was a great opportunity to practice our conversational Italian. All the best.”
Flawless trip
