Walking tours generally involve moderate day hikes on well-maintained paths, often highlighting cultural sites, history, or scenic beauty—perfect for travelers seeking luxury walking holidays. Trekking trips, by contrast, are more physically demanding, sometimes involving multi-day trekking vacations with changes in altitude, remote locations, and rustic accommodations. Both styles can be customized to your pace and comfort.

Whether you prefer relaxed walking vacations through vineyards and villages or challenging high-altitude trekking trips in the Himalayas or Andes, we adjust the route, pace, and length to fit your abilities.

For example, you might combine a Machu Picchu hiking tour with time in the Amazon, pair Dolomites hiking tours with Venice, or link Torres del Paine hiking tours in Patagonia with glacier cruising in southern Chile.

Some of the best trekking vacations in the world include South America’s Andes (Peru, Patagonia, Ecuador), the Himalayas in Nepal and Bhutan, Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, the Dolomites Italy hiking tours, and the Swiss Alps hiking tours.

Accommodations vary widely depending on your destination and route. In some regions you’ll stay in mountain lodges or eco-camps with basic comforts, while others—like European hiking tours—offer boutique inns, family-run chalets, or upgraded properties on our luxury hiking trips Europe. We provide clear expectations for each itinerary and arrange upgrades where possible.

We recommend guided hiking vacations for most travelers. Having an expert local guide adds insight, logistical support, and safety—especially in remote or high-altitude regions. Guides help bring the landscapes and cultures to life, whether you’re on a Japan hiking tour, a Peru hiking tour, or a Patagonia trekking trip. Self-guided trips are possible in certain areas, but the experience is far richer with a knowledgeable guide.

We provide a detailed, destination-specific packing list before departure. Essentials for most hiking vacation tours include well-worn hiking shoes, layered clothing for changing weather, sun protection, and a comfortable daypack. For higher-altitude trekking tours like the Andes or Himalayas, we recommend warm outerwear, trekking poles, and specialty gear. After booking, you’ll receive pre-departure materials with all the information needed to arrive fully prepared.

Absolutely. Many of our hiking vacation packages are designed for active families or older travelers. Options like guided hiking tours in Switzerland, Portugal hiking tours, or Costa Rica hiking tours can be tailored to your group’s needs, ensuring the right balance of activity and rest. Multi-generational groups often choose luxury hiking trips where everyone—from kids to grandparents—can share the adventure together.
