We’re obviously biased, but it would be hard to deny that Europe’s diversity of both landscapes and culture makes for a heady combination for every traveller.
And no, we can’t choose between the Rota Vicentina in Portugal or the Camino in Spain’s Galicia, both on the wild Atlantic Coast. Nor can we decide between the Pyrenees, the Alps, the Dolomites or the Picos de Europa for mountain hiking. We can take you to all our favourite places, both famous, but even better, our secret ones. Discover Europe, the local way with us.
The Picos de Europa, without a doubt the most impressive mountains in all of Spain, emerge dramatically from the coastal landscape as a natural frontier between the green north coast and the more arid Castille. This program offers a variety of landscapes to explore in the Eastern and Central Massifs, with the option of choosing easier or more difficult daywalks.
La Gomera, the greenest of the Canary Islands, lies just 30 kilometres off the coast of Tenerife, at the edge of an enormous shelf in the Atlantic Ocean. Steep cliffs along the rocky coastline give way to volcanic peaks inland. Deep gorges, limit access to many parts of the island, and tourism here is still in its early stages.
The flat Dutch province of Friesland, world-famous for its black and white Frisian cows, is marked by numerous rivers, canals and lakes.

In between, you’ll cycle through peaceful scenes, olive orchards and seas of grapevines, breathing the aroma of the magical 'Toscana'.

Enjoy exhilarating hikes through a magnificent nature with stunning landscapes, picture-perfect alpine pastures and idyllic meadows.

The upper course of the Loire still shows what the Loire has always been: a natural, untamable river/stream. Cycle along the sandbanks, old river curves and islands.

A 10-day self-guided walking programme which will offer you a general idea of the varied landscapes and culture of the central group of islands of the so-called ‘Hawaii of the Atlantic’: Pico, São Jorge and Faial island

Discover two of the most beautiful islands of the Cyclades in one trip: Santorini and Naxos. Santorini feels like no other place on earth: an ancient island that endured one of the largest volcanic eruptions in history. And in Naxos you explore the highest mountain of the area: Zas.
