Simple stays with essential amenities. Typically guesthouses, hostels or hotels rated below 3 stars — clean, no-frills, and great for value-conscious travelers.
Comfortable and reliable 3-star stays. Expect private rooms, en-suite bathrooms, and solid amenities — a great balance between comfort and cost.
Upscale 4-5 star hotels and lodges. Enjoy high-end service, refined comfort, and premium locations — ideal for travelers seeking extra indulgence.
I highly recommend G Adventures for people traveling alone and want to step outside of the typical tourist locations and activities. The CEO was an absolute professional with great character and knowledge.

The only sad experience was Monserat monastery was cancelled due to Easter weekend where it was closed....one of my to do lists...uuurgh Otherwise, it was well organised... event though we were with the South American group, our tour guide Ivan who is multi lingual was really good ..he imparts knowledge of the sites historically. We have enjoyed the tour very much...met new connections with the South American group .. we would go again with Europamundo for sure. At first we were a bit worried about the arrangements etc ..but it turned out great Even though some days the bus ride was long, we do have time to see places, eat, shop etc...well organised
Accommodation excellent, but could be a little less hotel chain like.
Itinerary is busy and days should start earlier to avoid late meal time.
Guide very knowledgeable and caring about customers but could better pace the hikes, not easy as the group had very different walking speed.

We visited Western Cyprus in early November and found it hotter than we expected, which made the walking a little more arduous. The scenery on the Northern side of the Akamas Peninsula was beautiful with aromatic pine forests and lovely views. The accommodation was excellent and the transfers were perfectly organised. Overall a lovely early winter break.
Your staff drivers and guides is brilliant They are planned, super sweet and helpful I liked that the tour gave us enough time to spend on our own and also let us see major highlights of a city.
Imagine wandering through Cyprus’s Akamas Peninsula in winter, when mild temperatures and a riot of wildflowers transform the landscape into a natural wonderland. The Cyprus Winter Walking tour is an 8-day, self-guided hiking holiday designed for experienced and senior travelers who cherish both nature and tranquility.
Set between Drouseia and Agios Georgios Tis Pegeias, this moderate-activity trip meanders through the Akamas National Park and the Laona plateau, weaving past traditional villages, lush orange groves, and sun-drenched vineyards. Some trails end at the inviting Mediterranean coast, where rare tulips and orchids bloom and migrating birds begin their return to Europe.
The journey is enriched by the warmth and hospitality of the Cypriot people, whose friendly welcome adds a memorable touch to your adventure. Unlike crowded resorts, this tour emphasizes authentic local experiences and unspoiled scenery. With accommodation, transport, and meals included, you’ll enjoy the freedom to explore at your own pace—making it an ideal getaway for those who value natural beauty and genuine cultural connections in a serene, off-season setting.
Discover the Tuscan countryside and culture on this 8-day self-guided walking tour. Through the extensive footpath network of the area, roughly following the traces of the Via Francigena, one of Europe’s most important ‘highways’ in medieval times, you walk from village to village and experience a full immersion in the world-famous Tuscan landscape. The tour is perfect as an introduction to the region and a great choice for people who love museums, galleries and Gothic and Romanesque architecture. You have plenty of time to visit attractions on most of the days.
You will also have time to visit all the beautiful medieval villages and historic towns along the Via Francigena: starting from beautiful Lucca, you’ll pass through Fucecchio, San Miniato, Gambassi Terme, the stunning San Gimignano with its medieval skyscrapers and Monteriggioni, admired by Dante in his Divine Comedy. An optional detour can bring you to beautiful Colle Val d’Elsa and the tour ends in Siena, arguably the most perfectly preserved medieval town in Tuscany. This tour threads together some of the most attractive towns and villages in Tuscany in an eloquent procession.
However, the emphasis of the tour is to enjoy the countryside, the rolling vineyards, the poppies in spring and the wild cyclamen in autumn. The area north of Siena is an amazing landscape of rolling hills, alternating vineyards and forests, while cypresses line the way leading to the distant farmhouses. Walking here is an unforgettable experience and many of the views have barely changed for hundreds of years.
Accommodation and some meals are included. You spend a night in one of the best agriturismos in Tuscany, and the final night in the heart of Siena, in one of the most characteristic little hotels.
This is a moderately easy tour which is suitable for those who have some experience of walking and a good general physical condition.
