Spend a week exploring some of the best bits of northwestern Europe, from Paris to Berlin. With plenty of free time to explore at your own pace and a local leader on hand with insider information, it’s easy to make the most of your days. Walk the streets of romantic Paris, have a beer in Brussels and explore a fairytale castle in Antwerp. From the City of Lights to the cobbled alleys of Belgium, you’ll be cycling along the canals of Amsterdam if the weather’s good and exploring the nightlife of Berlin. Tick iconic landmarks off your bucket list and discover hidden gems in Bruges, all with like-minded travellers. What are you waiting for? Europe is calling!
Itinerary is good except that it would be good to have one more day at Istanbul.
Tour guide and the driver are helpful , knowledgeable and the tour guide Suat is delightful to deal with.
Had a great time walking in Andorra. Donal the tour leader was helpful and engaging and had organised everything so there were no difficulties. The accommodation was very nice and the walks themselves were within the range of a moderately fit person (and I am only moderately fit at best). A free day gave time to visit Andorra La Vella which only requires a day to go through. Would happily recommend.
This holiday was made extra special for us by the professionalism and kindness of the Headwater reps - Tony & Ludmilla. The one day when we got soaked, they came to our rescue and collected us early with no no fuss whatsoever. Apart from that one day the weather was kind and the walks spectacular
Good organisation. The guide, Elie, translated everything in English for me as I was the only non-French in the group. He also prepared delicious meals everyday. Walking pace was good for all the group. Night stays had everything essential and the dinner and breakfasts were also good. Overall, a truly "rustique" adventure in the Swiss Alps, in contact with nature and the mountain.
Many wonderful experiences on our holiday in the Azores - thoroughly recommended. Special mention must be made of our superb tour leader Tania. She was faultless - knowledgeable, conscientious, helpful and caring in every way . She worked tirelessly to ensure everything ran smoothly and we all counted ourselves very lucky to be with her. We were genuinely sorry to say goodbye, as we enjoyed her company so much . She worked so hard to ensure we had the maximum enjoyment from our holiday. Thank you, Tania.
Enjoy the flavours of the Portuguese Cuisine in Lisbon traditional places. The guide will give you lots of inside tips on Wine, Petiscos, Food and Good Company! Bring your appetite! Districts we visit: Baixa – Chiado – Bairro Alto. Try the famous Codfish Cake and Green Wine in a typical tavern at the Rossio Square. Go to Bairro Alto for a couple of Tapas with White Wine in a Wine Bar. Have a taste of Port Wine together with marmalade and cheese in a tradicional groceries’ shop. Enjoy the local’s favorite drink Ginja (cherry liqueur) in the original historical place. Finish with the typical chorizo (Portuguese sausage) with bread and Red Wine at a 17th century Palace.
We walked the Camino Norte which was spectacular and challenging some days. Overall we were very satisfied with UTracks. Their accommodations were basically good, sometimes we were pleasantly surprised and sometimes they were less than we hoped. We would consider booking again with UTracks.
