Self-guided walking tours offer the ultimate in economy and freedom all the while offering the amenities of having your luggage transferred from hotel to hotel each day.. Because this type of tour demands that some local back up be in the area from March through October, we have partnered with European walking tour companies who are experts in their own areas of operation. We have selected partners capable of delivering the same kind of travel experiences our friends have come to expect on our trips. They are mostly small family run companies who have specialized in these tours for many years. We have left the tour descriptions in their own vernacular to retain the charm and enthusiasm in describing their region. Until now they have served only the European market; principally in Denmark, Holland and Germany. They have worked with us in designing these tours to our specifications. We have inspected each of the tour routes, the hotels, the restaurants and we have walked many of the routes to assure the Tour Packet's directions are clear and comprehensive. We are very proud to be associated with them. These tours provide neither a tour guide nor a support vehicle. You must be willing to walk on rainy days. Joining the Tour Group Your Tour Packet will be waiting for you at your first nights hotel. It will include the tour directions and maps, vouchers and other information. You will be provided with an emergency phone number to use should you encounter any serious difficulties. Your Hotels and Meals The hotels are two, three and four stars as specified in the tour descriptions. Many of them have swimming pools. All of them have a bath or shower and toilet in the room unless otherwise specified in the tour description. Most of the time breakfasts and dinners are included in the price of the tour. All of these things are detailed in each tour description. Keep in mind that, in the European tradition, most of these hotels are not air conditioned. Baggage Transfer Your baggage is transported each day and will be delivered to the next nights hotel by the time specified in the tour description. Departures Departures are every week from March or April or May through October depending upon the tour selected. Some tours depart every day. You may find that you are the only one on the trip or you may find companions not only from North America but also from Holland, Denmark, Germany and Austria. If you don’t want to be the only one we can advise you of the situation six weeks prior to departure and move you to a date or tour with companions. Weekend departures are the most popular if you are looking for a tour with companions.
