Our budget walking holidays & tours
Budget walking holidays let you develop a relationship with the ground beneath your feet and the people you’ll meet. We’ve got an incredible selection of European locations and other tried and tested routes to put you through your paces. These holidays feature challenging ascents, coastal curves or lazy strolls from one vineyard to the next, and between walks you’ll be staying in locally-run accommodation and patronising restaurants where the food comes from the farm next door – making it inexpensive, yes, but also incredibly tasty. Our budget walking holidays are designed to suit responsible travellers down to the ground.

Budget walking holiday highlights
What is a budget walking holiday?
If you love hiking, you’ll know that a good walk doesn’t need bells and whistles so long as you’ve got your boots. Our budget walking holidays take you to some fantastic destinations with a wealth of gorgeous scenery. Budget friendly walking doesn’t mean hardship, hard beds and heavy rucksacks – on our small group walking holidays you’re still getting luggage transfers and an expert guide. Staying in comfortable but more basic accommodation helps keep costs down, and if you’re opting for small, cosy and locally run guest houses over chain hotels, you’ll get to know the local area far better, too.
Where can I go?
Some destinations are easier on the wallet of the humble hiker than others. Look to Europe for well established hiking destinations with a good selection of budget accommodation like Croatia, France and Italy, which are threaded with scenic hiking routes. We love Spain – and a walk along one of the Camino de Santiago routes is a great way to channel your inner pilgrim, staying in inexpensive bunk houses along the way. Consider Greece too, where you can use the ferry to island-hop between your coastal hikes and enjoy delicious dishes with even more delectable vistas from family run tavernas.

I had a fantastic time; we must have walked over 100km over the week, but took in some amazing views, learnt a lot about the flower/fauna and Greek culture with our wonderful guide Annie and had gorgeous beach swims.read more
