Great news! For the first time ever, 2024 Country Walkers Self-Guided Walking Adventures can be booked and confirmed instantly. “We are so thrilled that 2024 Self-Guided travelers will get immediate confirmation as soon as they book their departure,” says Country Walkers Travel Designer Melanie Morin. “It makes it so much easier to plan the best vacation ever!” That’s right: we’ve done away with the old system that took days to confirm your departure. Instead, our 2024 Self-Guided Walking Adventures offer fixed departure dates—giving you the ability to confirm your chosen departure the minute you book your trip. This takes the guesswork out of your travel plans—and gives you peace of mind, knowing your vacation is confirmed as soon as you make your reservation.
New for 2024! Self-Guided Air Packages Give You Flights and Extra Nights
In an exciting update for 2024, Country Walkers Self-Guided Air Packages are now available with included airfare and two additional hotel nights.
