A little bit of magic. That moment when you think I feel so alive right now.

That’s why we travel, and why we are committed to providing engaging walking tours of Europe that enrich and inspire. Whether we’re dining on flaky Branzino aboard a boat bound for a secluded harbor, or sipping red wine in one of Europe’s oldest cellars, everything we do is threaded together by one simple activity: walking.

Walking slows the pace of travel so that your experience is much more deep and vivid. Walking allows you to explore areas where buses literally can’t go, and even bicycles can’t navigate.

A walking journey is simply the best way to immerse yourself in a culture, bond with your fellow travelers, and experience the sights, sounds and smells of a region—all senses engaged.

Invigorating hikes through alpine meadows teeming with wildflowers…walks through sunny olive groves and gently sloping vineyards…through lush woods with shoulder-high ferns…through dense, shaded groves of hazelnut trees…and don’t forget late-night strolls under the stars, down the ancient streets of fairytale villages…

We believe there is no better, more intimate way to discover Europe than on a perfectly designed walking tour, and that is what we deliver.

If you’re looking for the finest, all-inclusive walking tours available, call or email us today. We promise you’ll experience a little bit of magic when you take the Next Step!

“There is nothing like walking to get the feel of a country. A fine landscape is like a piece of music; it must be taken at the right tempo. Even a bicycle goes too fast.
