Walking Holidays Best For Cultural Holidays

Cultural Walking Holidays

Enjoy rich experiences on walking holidays tailored to suit those interested in history and culture. We offer dozens of cultural holidays to exceptional destinations worldwide, from the storied cities and countryside of the UK to medieval Portugal, classical Greece and artistic Umbria in Italy. Then there are bucket list favourites like the pyramids in Egypt and the ruins of Petra in Jordan. Go further afield to hike historic pilgrim trails and seek out tranquil temples, tori gates and geishas in Japan, or travel through Central Asia to Tashkent, Samarkand and Khiva on the Silk Road to find brightly coloured minarets and towers adorned with intricate mosaics.

All these cultural and sightseeing holidays are set up to immerse you in the country you’re exploring. You’ll see spectacular landscapes, discover unique cultures, visit the classic sites and uncover the quirky and lesser-known reasons to visit a place too. Let our experienced leaders, and often a knowledgeable local guide, take you to the heart of a destination in a way you wouldn’t be able to on your own.
