Locally run walking vacations

Yes, there are brilliant large walking vacation companies that have been doing their expert thing for years all around the world. But there are also smaller companies offering locally run walking vacations that are more intimate, almost personalised trips, tying in with local conservation, indigenous groups and, most important, secret spots that only local people know. Often family run, these vacations are often wonderful for family vacations too.
