Self Guided Walking or Cycling Holidays

All of our self guided holidays in the UK & Europe are booked on an individual basis so most of the tours depart daily. You also have the option to add any extra days you wish. However, we are unable to check availability for your required dates without a firm booking and £250 deposit.

Once we have received your booking, you will receive a confirmation email. This simply means that we are now in the process of making all the necessary reservations for your holiday.
