Asked on October 15th, 2024I am wondering how it makes a difference that this trip is 'self-guided'. Will there still be a group that you can walk with?
- Choose BalkansOperator•Written October 2024
With the Self Guided hike, you will hike independently however of course there will be other hikers around in the Alps. We would not organise a group from our behalf though you are welcome to make friends along the way once there.
