Self-Guided Holidays

Discover self-guided holidays run by our sibling company, and fellow adventure experts, Headwater, giving you the freedom to have your very own cycling, walking or cultural trip at a pace that suits you. Pause or power on, cherry-pick your sightseeing stops, linger a little over lunch, or set off an hour earlier to catch the coolest part of the day. The choice is yours.

You’ll have in-depth trip notes to keep you company – tested by experts – which give you detailed kilometre-by-kilometre descriptions and all the information you need, from recommendations for the best lunch and rest spots, to excursion routes and notes on places of interest. On Headwater’s self-guided trips, you never feel rushed, or alone. Plus, Headwater transports your luggage between hotels and provides high-quality support through local suppliers, as well as 24-hour emergency support if required.

“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.”
Customer Chelley Richardson

Walks strenuous and views amazing. Had forgotten how hard steps are!

Elizabeth Biggart Walking in the Cinque Terre and Portofino

This was my first Exodus trip and I loved everything about it. I was travelling solo which I had never done before. I was full of trepidation but I need not have worried. The trip far exceeded my expectations. The cycling is tough with plenty of hills to climb. However the group were lovely. I had so much fun, there was plenty of banter all week.

Our Exodus tour seemed to be a reasonable value. The customer service experience isn’t as good as other companies, but that might be a get-what-you-pay-for outcome.
