| Independent walking holidays | |
The independent trek is perfect for those that want to do their own thing, but want the peace of mind of having their holiday organised for them. It is also good for those that do not wish to be integrated into a group or for those that have already formed their own private group. This style of holiday is a possibility for anyone who is able to follow a route on a map and understand the information given in the route notes (both of which are supplied by us when you book your holiday). If you are in any doubt then contact us. Most of the self-guided holidays require a minimum of two persons although for some of the routes it might be possible to travel by yourself. Contact us if you plan to travel alone. There is no risk of your holiday being cancelled when you book an independent tour as you are not reliant upon additional participants. For the majority of our holidays, you can choose the day for your arrival and departure. We reserve your accommodation, organise the daily transfer of your luggage from one accommodation to the next, plus any additional transfers that may be required. We will provide you with the necessary maps and route notes required for your trip. Moreover, we are reachable at any moment on our emergency number, should you incur any problems throughout your stay. This number will be communicated to you at the beginning of your holiday. |
