Guided Walking Holidays & Walking Tours

Guided Walking Holidays The Americas offer an incredibly varied landscape of mountains, coastlines, lakes and canyons, and it is best enjoyed on foot. For those with a passion for walking or trekking, or simply those with an extra taste for adventure, our walking holidays are the perfect choice. If you ask virtually any of our tour leaders and most of our travellers to name their favourite activity on tour, the walks and hikes in the National Parks, Indian lands and wilderness areas invariably rank first.

There is truly no more inspiring, exhilarating and rewarding way to experience some of the most captivating and wondrous areas of this continent. So much so, we decided to design complete walking tours around them.

Walking & Hiking Tours

Hiking for all abilities Our walking tours are designed for active adults and offer a well-paced mix of walks for all levels of fitness. Most walks are of moderate difficulty and are up to four hours in length. For the more adventurous, there are often optional longer, moderate to strenuous hikes up to eight hours long in some destinations.

Our leaders enjoy spending as much time as possible on the trail with their groups. As interests and capabilities vary, our leaders will typically guide day hikes according to group's needs and the difficulty of particular hikes.

With two tour leaders on each of our walking trips, they will either guide separate hikes or offer additional activities and support. However, it will not always be possible for every hiker to be accompanied by a guide when groups divide up to explore different trails. Our tour leaders also handle all the driving and tour logistics en-route to ensure you maximise your time on holiday.
