To begin….worries are not on your itinerary. We deliver a seamless trip with our expert guides and home team taking care of every detail. You’re free to enjoy a one-of-a-kind adventure. If there is anything typical about a Country Walkers adventure it’s this—relax and have fun. Each day brings exciting encounters and a rewarding escape from normal routines.
It just might unfold something like this…
MORNING
As you contemplate seconds of café au lait, fresh fruit, or homemade bread and jam, your guides review the highlights of the day’s walk. Early risers enjoy watching the sun appear over dramatic landscapes, taking a stroll around the scenic grounds, or joining the morning bustle of villagers shopping at local markets.
Walking directly from your inn or following a scenic drive to an embarkation point, your guides lead the way—through hilltop towns, age-old forests, meadows filled with fragrant wildflowers. You visit a renowned mountain potter in Baja or an archaeological site in Sicily. In Vermont, surrounded by forests bursting with brilliant fall colors, you might stop at an organic farm and try some freshly pressed apple cider.
AFTERNOON
Lunch is often a highlight, as you savor a wide variety of dishes in village restaurants, during trailside picnics, or as you join a local family at their table. Further discoveries unfold. Each walking route is carefully chosen to showcase a region’s best natural and cultural attributes: private visits of ancient sites, orcas cresting in the ocean waters, wine tastings at renowned vineyards, sharing mint tea in a Berber’s tent—the list goes on and on. Thanks to careful scheduling and flexible itineraries, you move at your own pace and experience a range of options on and off the trail. Moreover, if you join one of our new Walking à la Carte Adventures, you have an even greater selection of events from which to choose!
EVENING
A poolside aperitivo is often the ideal precursor to a lovely evening meal. One night you might sample regional specialties prepared by an acclaimed chef. The next, homemade pasta at a small trattoria in town. Afterward, explore the village nightlife—concerts, theatrical performances, annual festivals, and special events. Or, if you choose, wind down early and enjoy the comforts of your charming lodge or the sun setting over the surrounding hills. Whatever you decide, you’ll rest well, having experienced the wonders of a Country Walkers day.
