Your trip to Shetland was as you had described that it would be. I loved the experience, the sites and most of those on the tour. It was a lot more hiking than I had planned for doing for my legs. Our guide Tony was very helpful to me and others. We enjoyed him very much. I would have liked more interaction with locals and learning how they make their living in Shetland.
Scotland's Shetland IslandsA very well thought out and varied itinary. Everything ran smoothly thanks to our delightful guide Zeb who made trip extra special.
Walking Turkey's Turquoise CoastWe thoroughly enjoyed the walking Amalfi coast May 9 tour with Gennaro as our guide. He was so good at the explaining all the knowledge he has of this area which made our understanding of this beautiful area so much more appreciative. And the back door rather than the tourist front door also made the tour special. We will remember this one for a lifetime. Thank You to all involved!

What our customers ask about Coastal Walks Tours & Trips in Europe
When is the best time to go on a coastal walking tour in Europe?
The prime season for European coastal walks runs from April to October though each region has its sweet spot. Along the Amalfi Coast the most pleasant walking comes in May June and September October when the weather is gentle and tourist numbers drop. The Lycian Way in Turkey shows its best colors in spring from March to May. A TourRadar traveler confirms "the wildflowers and views were spectacular." For northern spots like Ireland's coastal routes summer (June-August) brings reliable weather and extended daylight hours for walking.
What are the must-see highlights of European coastal walks?
The coastal paths of Europe present remarkable sights including Italy's Path of the Gods along the Amalfi Coast Lanzarote's Famara Cliffs which tower 500 meters above sea level and the ancient passages of Turkey's Lycian Way. TourRadar travelers often mention "The Gobbins Cliff Path in Northern Ireland with its dramatic bridges and tunnels" and "the beautiful bays of the Amalfi coast." These routes connect natural wonders with cultural landmarks from ancient ruins to fishing villages and historic lighthouses.
What type of accommodation can I expect on European coastal walking tours?
Lodging options range from local family hotels to village guesthouses along the coast. The Hotel Risorgimento in San Lazzaro features terraces with sweeping views of the Amalfi Coast while Montenegro Motel on Turkey's Lycian Way offers home-grown food and looks out over Butterfly Valley. A TourRadar guest noted "the staff treated us like family and the food was wonderful after a long day walking."
How many hours of walking should I expect per day?
Walking times generally span 4-6 hours covering distances of 8-14 kilometers each day. The Amalfi Coast routes average 5 hours while Madeira's paths take 4-5.5 hours to complete.
