Country Walkers

JANUARY-FEBRUARY
New Zealand: The South Island Guided Tour: It’s summer in the Southern Hemisphere and the beauty of the South Island’s magnificent landscapes is at its peak. Discover the magnificent shoreline of the Abel Tasman Coast Track as you enjoy cheerful Kiwi hospitality and splendid cuisine.

MARCH
Spain: Balearic Islands, Mallorca & Deià Guided Tour: Avoid Mallorca’s summer crowds as you discover the lush citrus gardens, ancient olive groves, and spectacular coastal views of this enchanting Spanish island. Stroll the narrow stone streets of Mallorca’s terraced medieval villages, pausing to dip your toes in the crystal waters of the Mediterranean.  

APRIL
Greece: Athens, Delphi & Meteora Guided Tour: Explore the ancient cities and unique landscapes of Greece from the Peloponnese Peninsula to the lofty monasteries at Meteora. The slopes of Mount Parnassus burst into springtime color as fields of wildflowers and olive trees come into bloom.  

MAY
Italy: Pompeii, Capri & the Amalfi Coast Guided Tour: Cool coastal breezes, fragrant lemon trees, and the shade of lush seaside hills soothe the soul during idyllic early-summer hikes on the Gulf of Salerno. Perhaps best of all, our walking trails let you leave the crowds behind.

JUNE
Norway: Bergen & the Fjords Guided Tour: With nearly 19 hours of daylight, Norway’s pristine fjords and country meadows are bursting with color in June. Explore crystal blue lakes, rushing rivers, and dramatic waterfalls tumbling over with the rush of the spring thaw.  

JULY
Scotland: The Highlands Guided Tour: Enjoy the long days of Scottish high summer—with plenty of daylight for walking and discovery. This is the perfect time of year to enjoy a cruise on Loch Katrine. During a stop at a local family farm, you may even have the chance to greet the season’s newborn lambs and baby goats.

AUGUST
England: The Cotswolds Self-Guided Tour: A summer jaunt in the English countryside, you say? It’s walking at its most sublime. In the tranquil Cotswolds, gently rolling hills, stone villages in hues of honey and cream, meticulous country gardens, and handsome old market towns converge into enchanting landscapes torn from a storybook.  

SEPTEMBER
Vermont: Fall Foliage Guided Tour: Welcome to our neck of the woods—the ideal place for an autumn ramble. As the hills transform into a blaze of glorious red, orange, and gold, you’ll stroll into postcard villages, follow woodland trails and high ridgelines, and pass historic farms.  

OCTOBER
Portugal: Minho & the Douro Valley Guided Tour: Cooler autumn temperatures are perfect for walking in Portugal—and the ripening grapes brings lots of excitement and activity to the harvest season.  

NOVEMBER
Peru: Cusco, Machu Picchu & the Sacred Valley Guided Tour: November is springtime in the Southern Hemisphere! Discover ancient Inca ruins, bustling old-world cities and markets, and the lush cloud forest. Afterwards, take an optional extension to scenic Lake Titicaca—traveling in style through the Andes on a luxurious overnight train modeled after the Orient Express.  

DECEMBER
New Zealand: The South Island Guided Tour: If the thought of a chilly holiday season in the Northern Hemisphere leaves you feeling a bit underwhelmed, a mid-December walking tour during New Zealand’s vibrant high summer months might be just the thing to put the spring back in your step.
