Self-Guided Walking

Go your own way into Europe’s most scenic landscapes

Self-Guided Walking Tours

Discover self-guided walking tours run by our sibling company, Headwater, where independent treks give you freedom. Pause or power on, cherry-pick your sightseeing stops, linger over lunch, or set off an hour earlier to catch the coolest part of the day. The choice is yours. And with their in-depth trip notes to keep you company, you never feel rushed, or alone.

Created especially for their self-guided walking tours, the trip notes are personally tested by their experts and give you detailed route descriptions, with all the information you need for a smooth experience. You get recommendations for the best lunch and rest spots, excursion routes and notes on places of interest. And on all their self-guided walking trips, they transport your luggage between hotels and provide high-quality support through local suppliers, as well as 24-hour emergency assistance if required.

Your words, not ours

“Having the freedom to make your own decisions was liberating. You can take a break when you like, so if you know there’s something special at the end of your day walking, you can set off early to spend more time there. We had the freedom to go off and do things however we chose. Just the two of us and peace and quiet – bliss, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.”

Had a wonderful week walking around Mont Blanc. Our group was friendly and kind, the scenery was like a “fairytale” and our accommodation / food was good

John murray-pryce Walking Tour du Mont Blanc

2 lovely walks of 5. Disappointing accommodation. Only one was to the expected standard that is described. When I complained by email they did upgrade me to a better room that was empty but I wonder why I wasn’t given that room in the first place. As a solo woman traveller I did not feel comfortable in 2 of my 3 accommodations. Self guided hiking app was good. The town the walk started from was very rough!
