Self Guided Walking Tours 

If you are comfortable on your own in a country with or without knowledge of the language (English gets you almost everywhere these days), then you may want to consider a self-guided tour. The savings are great and they leave almost anytime you want to go. The trails in Europe are well marked and the tour packet contains detailed directions and maps. Your luggage is transported to the next hotel each day so all that you carry is your lunch, water and a few snacks along the way. You must be willing to walk on rainy days.

Groups 

We can tailor any of our trips to meet your group's needs.
 Groups of 6 or more booking direct are entitled to a 10% discount from posted tour prices. If your group is ten or more, you can select your own departure date and alter the itinerary to your liking. We would enjoy working with you in planning your dream vacation.

GUIDED WALKING TOURS

WorldVentures Guided Walking Tours,  unlike our guided cycling tours, are not led by WorldVentures staff members. We have partnered with local tour companies in the region of the walk and they operate these tours with their own regional guides. Walking tours are much more intimate than bicycle tours and, we feel, require someone who lives in the area to really give a feel for the fauna and creatures who share the living space. These guides are all fluent in English and you may find people from many nations on the tour - hopefully, your new found friends.
