Good to know.
How fit do I need to be?
Each journey has a grade. Easy means anyone who is comfortable on their feet for a couple of hours. Moderate means five or six hours on the move, with breaks. Active means full days and early starts. If you are unsure, ask: we would rather talk you into the right trip than the wrong one.
Who else will be on the trip?
Small groups, capped at the number on each journey’s page, and usually a mix of couples, friends and people travelling alone.
Are flights included?
No. Journeys start and end at the places named in the itinerary, so you can use your own miles and routes. We send recommended flights with your confirmation and will meet whatever you book.
What about dietary needs?
Tell us when you book and we will pass it to every kitchen on the route. Vegetarian and gluten-free are straightforward almost everywhere; we will say so honestly where they are not.
