If you’ve been walking for a couple of months you might be interested in a vacation with friends and family – a walking tour! Walking vacations or holidays are becoming more and more popular as people find that walking affords them the ability to interact with the local people, see historical landmarks and enjoy local foods.
Walking holidays can be taken from the US to France, from Ireland to England and just about anywhere in between. Tour companies offer a variety of different ways of going through your holiday in order to take advantage of both the locality and your personal likes and dislikes.
For instance, you can book either a guided or self-guided walking tour of the countryside through Australia, China, Kenya, England, Italy or Romania and a number of other exotic countries. In a self-guided tour you are given ample guidance in both physical and digital maps to help you get exactly where you want to be going. Seeing the historical landmarks and asking questions from the local people gives you a unique perspective on what it’s like to live in that country.
Guided tours offer you another option. Done in small groups where you have the opportunity to have your questions answered and eat with other groups of people, you may make long-time friends. Guided tours will take advantage of local accommodations instead of large American-type hotels or motels. You’ll be more likely to eat at a local eatery than a McDonalds or another American planted restaurant.
A third option are Pilgrim Walks. These walking tours will often stay in bread and breakfast type lodgings or small hotels. Local specialists will help with backup and support, and walking and bus routes are tested before the group leaves. These are personalized holiday tours offered to you and your group through England, France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland.
For instance, a Pilgrim tour through England might include a route through Canterbury, straight out a Charles Dickens novel. It is an exotic walking holiday that offers your splendor of beautiful scenery, local flavors and great vacation support from the tour company.
Walking holidays are a different experience from a beach or amusement park vacation and one that will generate many wonderful memories for you and your family for years to come!
