Think you’ve seen Europe? Take a hike.

Maybe you’ve already been to Mallorca, partied in Mykonos, or relaxed on the coast of Lisbon. But now it’s time to explore other incredible parts of your favourite European countries like never before. It’s time to go beyond the tourist traps and experience the people, the culture, the stories that made these destinations so popular in the first place. How? By lacing up your hiking boots and heading off the beaten path.

With one of our knowledgeable CEOs (Chief Experience Officers) as your guide, use your own two feet (and the occasional bike, boat, and kayak) to conquer some of the most beloved locations in Europe. But a good daily workout isn’t all you’ll get. Oh no. These tours will also get you up close to the local communities who call these regions home. From local attractions, to ancient traditions, to tasty cuisines, with us you’ll experience it all, and in a way that empowers local lives as well.

And like all our tours, these new adventures also feature the latest health and safety measures of our Travel with Confidence policy — so you won’t just be feeling sporty, you’ll feel safe from start to finish, too.

Look below to find where adventure is calling you.
