OUR WALKS
All of our small-group (between 6 and 14 people) walks are personally led by the two of
us. Traveling with us will be like traveling with a group of friends rather than with
strangers. We have designed the walks (some are unique - created by us - and you
won’t find them on any other tour) taking into account several factors: beauty,
variety of scenery, quality of trails, avoidance of main roads, and proximity to points of
historical and cultural interest. We use a support vehicle to carry the heavy luggage, a
library, extra water and fruit, and the gourmet lunch, so all you carry is a small
day-pack. Detailed maps of the day’s journey are provided before setting off. Walks of different lengths are offered most days
depending on what you desire. The support vehicle is avaliable to ride
with if you're feeling too tired to continue.
WALK LEVELS
We rate our walks according to altitude gain and loss, walking surface and total mileage.
There are three levels - Easy, Medium and Difficult. Easy: walks from 4-8 miles on mostly
level terrain and gentle hills along a well-maintained trails. Medium: 6-12 miles on
rolling hills and mixed trails with an occasional steep ascent or descent. Difficult: 8-15
milers with long ascents or descents on steep, rocky surfaces.
At the beginning of each itinerary you’ll find our ranking. It’s crucial that
you select a walk that is within your physical limits for your own and for your fellow
travelers’ benefit. Please contact us with any questions you might have about a
walk’s suitability for you.
