How many people are usually on your tours?

Our maximum group size is 16 but average is 12.

Is there a surcharge for a solo traveler?

You can opt to share for the twin share price or pay the single supplement to have your own room. The single room would be an extra $490 for the 27 SEPT date.

I have 8 days free and would like to join a small group to explore Croatia. My dates are 12-18 April. What can you suggest? I am open to visiting other places as long as it fits with my dates.

Unfortunately we only have availability on the 19th - 26th April for walking in Croatia. We can offer the following around those dates: Walking in Portugal - Remote Coastal Trails, Walking Turkey's Turquoise Coast, Walking in Cappadocia.

Will this tour be available October 2025

Our departures for 2025 are set for prime walking time when we expect good weather. So only start from April and only go up to September - we will not have any departures in October 2025.

I would like to see photos of the hotels.

We do not have photos of the hotels but I am attaching the Trip Notes for the tour where we detail which hotels we are staying in and you will be able to search them on the internet for photos.

Do we have to carry our luggage in all treks, or only the day backpack?

You will just have to carry your daypack on the trek's. Bring one main piece of luggage and a 20-30 litre day sack is recommended. You will need to carry what you need for the day which may include a raincoat, jumper, camera, sun-cream, water and picnic lunch.

I'm a solo traveler- and I'm interested in your guided walks. Do you have a brochure or website? Solos okay?

Our trips have a mixture of couples and solo travellers, on this departure we already have 2 couples and 5 solo travellers booked.

What is the age group is there a single supplement need toll free phone number to speak w agent

For the 22nd September 2024 trip there is no-one currently booked but our average age across all trips is late 50s. However we generally get a good age range so can have travellers in the 20s up to 80s. If you wished to book a single room then there is a supplement of $330 on this departure, or you can book on a twin share basis and share a room with another female traveller.

What is the cost of a Single supplement for Solo travellers?

The Single room supplement for this departure date is from £230.00 per person.
