Our budget walking vacations & tours
Budget walking vacations let you develop a relationship with the ground beneath your feet and the people you’ll meet. We’ve got an incredible selection of European locations and other tried and tested routes to put you through your paces. These vacations feature challenging ascents, coastal curves or lazy strolls from one vineyard to the next, and between walks you’ll be staying in locally-run accommodation and patronising restaurants where the food comes from the farm next door – making it inexpensive, yes, but also incredibly tasty. Our budget walking vacations are designed to suit responsible travelers down to the ground.

Budget walking vacation highlights
What is a budget walking vacation?
If you love hiking, you’ll know that a good walk doesn’t need bells and whistles so long as you’ve got your boots. Our budget walking vacations take you to some fantastic destinations with a wealth of gorgeous scenery. Budget friendly walking doesn’t mean hardship, hard beds and heavy rucksacks – on our small group walking vacations you’re still getting luggage transfers and an expert guide. Staying in comfortable but more basic accommodation helps keep costs down, and if you’re opting for small, cosy and locally run guest houses over chain hotels, you’ll get to know the local area far better, too.
Where can I go?
Some destinations are easier on the wallet of the humble hiker than others. Look to Europe for well established hiking destinations with a good selection of budget accommodation like Croatia, France and Italy, which are threaded with scenic hiking routes. We love Spain – and a walk along one of the Camino de Santiago routes is a great way to channel your inner pilgrim, staying in inexpensive bunk houses along the way. Consider Greece too, where you can use the ferry to island-hop between your coastal hikes and enjoy delicious dishes with even more delectable vistas from family run tavernas.
