Amazing Experience!!!

We had an amazing time and are so happy with Action Peru Treks!! Although we planned to hike the 2D/1N Inca Trail, we changed our plans due to pouring rain on the day and sore knees and feet before we even started. However, Roxner and his team had everything all planned out precisely and we had no stress in regards to our travels. Our personal guide, Odon, was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable about the history of Machu Picchu and the surrounding areas. He was a great asset to our trip as he was with us for the 2 days and came up with a good "Plan B" for us since we canceled our hike. We enjoyed some local hiking around Agua Calientes, visited a butterfly sanctuary, the MP historical museum and soaked in the local thermal springs. Odon gave us a detailed history of MP and was a pure delight to get to know. We would do it all again and highly recommend Odon as your guide and Roxner and team at the Action Peru Treks!

4 Day Lares Hike

My two sons (ages 12 and 18) hiked the Lares valley to Machu Picchu with Action Peru and we were very happy with the service provided by the team and the trekking company. Our guide, cooks and horsemen were fabulous in helping us to complete the hike. I would definitely recommend this trek and this tour company without any doubts.

Greatest Experience Ever

Had an AWESOME experience of hiking the Inca Classic Trail to Machu Picchu with tour company Action Peru Treks (“APT”). The trail was challenging, but kudos to this company for helping our group successfully complete the climb. Guides were very knowledgeable and porters more than earned our respect for carrying our trail supplies from one campsite to the next. APT is a class act! Their focus is on making your experience a memorable one. They earned every “Star” with quality equipment, great tasting menus and flawless execution all around! By the end of the hike, they were like family to us. It was our second trek to Machu Picchu, and both times we let APT lead the way. If you have a trek to Machu Picchu on your bucket list, let APT host your expedition!

Comment: After searching a lot on the internet, we found Action Peru and we took their 6-day Iconic Peru Tour which was very well organized by Roxner. We visited Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. We want to thank Roxner and our awesome guide Maicol for a wonderful experience in Peru.

Machu Picchu 2 Day Trip

We couldn't be more thankful to our guide (Nilo) for the wonderful journey. APT expertise and care made our time in Peru, from Machu Picchu to the incredible Salkantay trek, truly special.

Perfect Experience

Absolutely breathtaking! Action Peru Treks provided an extraordinary adventure through the Andes. The Ancascocha trek was a dream come true. This lesser-known alternative trek offered stunning vistas and authentic cultural encounters. A top-notch travel tour company that goes above and beyond!

Date of experience : June 14, 2023

Perfect Inca Trail Planning

Action Peru exceded all our expectation organizing our 4 day Inca Trail trek. Our family of five people enjoyed the whole trek experience from start to finish. Our guide and porters were wonderful in every way.

Best Trekking Company In the Andes!

I have hiked the Ancascocha trek to Machu Picchu with Action Peru Treks and I had the best time ever during this amazing journey. Our guide Odon was phenomenal. He had great knowledge of all the area we visited and we were able to learn a lot about the Incas. culture, country. He had many years of experience on the trail and made us feel confortable all the time. The food was amazing and we were constantly impressed and surprised. There was always many choices for every meal. For an amazing trekking experience to Machu Picchu I highly recommend Action Peru Treks.

Best Way to Experience Machu Picchu and Peru

I'm not a great fan of hiking to be honest, but our 4 day Inca Trail trek was an amazing experience. The trek itself is challenging and impressive. We went with Action Peru, on the 4-day Classic Inca Trail. Our guide was Lino, he was an excellent tour guide.

Date of experience : March 30, 2023

Fantastic tour guides and operator--We loved ActionPeruTreks!!

We hiked the Ancaschocha Trail with a visit to Machu Picchu on a five day trip from June 13th to June 17th 2016. After researching many tour guides we chose ActionPeruTreks as the most knowledgeable. They were excellent in every way and have become lifelong friends. Excellent support, all traveling and logistics were expertly planned, no surprises, the cooks were fantastic, we were treated extremely well and had many wonderful conversations and meals together--there was too much great Peruvian food! Highly recommend this company, they are great!!!

Locally Owned and Sustainable Tour Company

The Inca Trail with these guys was excellent. I chose this company based on reviews and I was fortunate to go with them. They are locally owned and operate their trek in a sustainable way. Highly recommended!

Date of experience : August 16, 2023

Great company to do Machu Pichu

A friend of mine gave me the reference and they were a great company to deal with. Very personable and organized. Wonderful experience to see Machu Picchu 2-day trail with them. Roxner and Dario are excellent people, very attentive, human, and understanding. They made our experience very special.

Date of experience : April 06, 2023

Great Lares Trek to Machu Picchu

What an unforgettable trip! From the ancient wonders of Machu Picchu to the lesser-explored trails of the Lares Valley, every moment was filled with beauty and wonder.

Date of experience : July 10, 2023

Best experience

Action Peru Treks offers an exceptional blend of adventure and cultural immersion. The guides' expertise and passion for their country were evident throughout the journey. Machu Picchu was a highlight, but the Inca Trail trek added a unique touch to the entire experience. Highly recommended!

Machu Picchu

We had an unbelievable time visiting Machu Picchu and hiking up to Huayna Picchu. We were guided by Christian and he was very knowledgeable about the Incan city and the history of Peru.

Date of experience : May 15, 2022

Awesome Family Trip

Our Peru Family adventure was nothing short of magical! The trip showcased the best of the region, from the iconic Machu Picchu to the off-the-beaten-path trek.

About the company.

Action Peru Treks was started in 2015 by Roxner Cardenas, who was born in a small community outside of Machu Picchu and has trekked this area all of his life.

He has guided hundreds of groups on the Inca Trail, Ancascocha, Salkantay, Lares and the Choquequirao treks, both as a porter and a tour guide. He first visited Machu Picchu when he was 12 years old and was stunned by the history and architecture and decided to study to be a guide so he could share his culture and this beautiful landscape with others.

Roxner and his team at Action Peru Treks believes “action” accomplishes a purpose. That’s why you’ll be in good hands when you take action with us. Connect with breathtaking scenery, experience the wisdom and energy of Peru’s ancient lands first hand, and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!

Action Peru Treks provides superior quality, authentic hikes, treks, and tours along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, Ancascocha, Salkantay, Lares, Choquequirao and more! We can even customize a tour just for you and your group! Our entire team at Action Peru Treks consists of Peruvian natives – and locals to the Cusco and Sacred Valley areas. We know the terrain, history, the hidden gems, and the people. We are proud and honored to walk in the footsteps of our ancestors, and we look forward to sharing the journey with you.

Our Mission & Vision Action Peru Treks was started to create a RESPONSIBLE, SUSTAINABLE and ECO-FRIENDLY TOUR Company in Cusco.

We strive to bring genuine, unique tours that you won`t find through any other trekking agency. We believe in providing fair pricing to you, while providing fair compensation for our entire team.

We want to provide you with the best quality experience, from your first step until you return home to tell your friends and family about the magic that is this sacred valley. While trekking with our team you will see that we love the work we do. Talk to any one of our clients and they will tell you that our tours are unlike any other!

main square Cusco Peru - laugh travel eat

This is post 4 of 4 in the series “Peru”

  • Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu: picking which company + full break down
  • Lima Itinerary: 3 days in Peru capital
  • Street Food in Lima Peru: What’s it like on a Lima Food Tour

Peru is arguably the most vibrant country I’ve visited in South America so far. The friendly people, rich history, delicious and varied food are among the few things that have captured my heart.

From the desert coast of Lima to the stunning Peruvian Andes, 10 days isn’t quite enough to see all of Peru but it should give you a good taste of it. My 10 day Peru itinerary is more focused on hiking and the Peruvian Andes, but I’ll also add some alternative options below that are popular alternatives.

(You can skip to the 7 day itinerary as well if 10 days is too long).

Table of Contents

Frequently asked questions on peru itinerary, is 10 days enough in peru.

No – you definitely have to pick and choose between regions and what you want to do. The two absolute must see cities are Cusco and Lima, and if you go to Cusco it doesn’t make sense if you don’t see Machu Picchu as well.

action peru treks

We decided that hiking in the Peruvian Andes is our other main objective, and that’s pretty much 10 days for us. But there is so much more to see in Peru!

How many days are needed for Peru?

Ideally, I think you need to spend 2 weeks to a month to travel through Peru and immerse yourself. I’d say 7 days is a minimum and 10 days is a good start, but of course, it depends on how much time you have.

What is the best itinerary for Peru?

action peru treks

The best itinerary for Peru is the one that best suits your interests and dates. This itinerary was made based on the fact that we only have limited time in Peru (and South America) but we want to see Lima, Cusco, and do a proper hike to Machu Picchu!

Essential Information for travelling in Peru

Languages in peru.

84% of the population speaks Spanish and while you can get by with English in touristy areas, it’s important to learn a few words and have your translation app ready.

According to my Spanish friend, the accent is different across South America and Peruvians have a pleasant accent.

Quechua, the OG language of the Inca Empire, is still spoken by 13% of Peruvians, especially around Cusco. Most of our guides and porters for our Salkantay Trek speak Quechua to each one!

Aymara is spoken by 1.7% of Peruvians and is an ethnic group that lives in the south as you can also find them in Bolivia which is across the border. If you travel to Lake Titicaca, you’ll likely hear some Aymara.

Currency in Peru

The currency for Peru is the nuevo sol or S/.

You’ll usually get it in 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 notes and the exchange rate is around 1 S/ = 0.26 USD = 2.06 HKD.

Exchanging Money in Peru

It’s best to bring USD in cash to exchange money in Peru. In Lima, you’ll find more bank ATMs to withdraw money, but the likelihood of finding a fee-free ATMs get slimmer as you travel to other cities.

The exchange rate for sol is quite stable and we found it best to exchange money at the Casas de Cambio at Tourism Information Centers.

Cash or Card in Peru

When we were in Lima it was much easier to pay by card compared to when we were at Cusco. You’ll definitely need cash for souvenir, and street food, and some smaller restaurants.

Sim Cards in Peru

If you land in Lima – I cover buying Sim cards in Lima here. It’s cheapest to go directly to the telecom company but it would be a bit more time consuming, so it might be worth it to purchase E-Sims for the arrival day.

Note: if you are going to be hiking or in the Amazon, you won’t be able to get good signal.

If you go to multiple country and just want to make sure you have internet to fall back on, a regional e-sim is a good idea .

Altitude Sickness in Peru

If you are heading to Cusco, especially if you are flying in from sea level, chances are you will be affected by altitude sickness.

10 day Peru itinerary

The 10 day itinerary to Peru is focused on seeing the two largest cities in the country and hiking to Machu Picchu. This can easily be swapped into a shorter itinerary if you pick a shorter hike.

Day 1: Arrival in Lima + Miraflores roam

Welcome to the capital of Peru and the second largest city in South America. Some hot tips for your transport from the airport:

  • Uber is available in Lima, and you can use the airport WiFi to connect (or better yet, an E-sim )
  • Don’t book your Uber too early as there’s limited time for picking up
  • Get Transfer offers pretty good price car pick up if you prefer to save some hassle 
  • You can also opt for hotel pick up but they are likely to be more expensive but definitely more hasslefree

Larcomar mall Sunset at Miraflores Lima Peru - laugh travel eat

Most people stay at Miraflores on their trip to Lima and it’s for a good reason. The vibrant neighbourhood is less than 1 hour from the airport with many street art, great eateries, and a beautiful promenade.

Cosme Restaurant and Bar Lima Peru - laugh travel eat

We stayed at a hotel that is an easy walking distance to the sea and watched the beautiful sunset before heading off to dinner at Cosme Restaurant y Bar.

Where to stay in Miraflores

Sunset at Miraflores Lima Peru - laugh travel eat

Mid-range: Casa Andina Standard Benavides is in the center of Miraflores and a perfect budget choice. They have a good buffet breakfast, friendly staff, and comfortable rooms.

Best Western Plus Urban Larco Hotel is on one of the main streets in Miraflores and a good choice for those who like to be in the center of action. It is a smaller hotel so expect it to be a bit crowded during busy hours.

Splurge: Hilton Lima Miraflores is a modern hotel with well equipped rooms close to the sea front of Miraflores. There is also gym and an outdoor pool

JW Marriot Hotel Lima is right by the cliff front overlooking the sea with an amazing view and spacious rooms. It’s across the road from the larcomar mall.

Day 2: Food tour in Lima + historic center/Larco Museum

Today is the day to take up as much of Lima’s essence as possible, and that’s through two things: food and history!

Lima Tasty Tours

group photo Lima Tasty Tours Barranco Lima Peru - laugh travel eat

An absolute must for food lovers, we took part in Just For Foodies tour by Lima Tasty Tours and everyone in the group could not stop talking about it for the rest of the trip.

bell peppers Lima Tasty Tours Barranco Lima Peru - laugh travel eat

We not only got to try some of the most classic dishes in Peruvian cuisine, but also many of the local exotic fruits. Our guide also taught us a lot about the history of Lima and Peru in relation to food. More on the entire experience here.

Historic Center/Larco Museum

The afternoon is all about history. If you are fast, it’s possible to do both in the afternoon. But traffic can be bad, so it’s best to choose one and do the other if you still have time.

Lima main square historic quarter Lima Peru - laugh travel eat

The historic center of Lima is like an open air museum with monuments, squares, and churches to visit. Some of the top places to visit are:

  • Plaza de Armas – The historical heart of Lima, surrounded by the Cathedral, the Archbishop’s Palace, and the Government Palace
  • Cathedral de Lima – A stunning church occupying the plot designated by Pizarro, featuring various architectural styles
  • Convento de San Francisco – Known for its beautiful architecture and eerie underground catacombs (the only one we got tickets to see)

Larco Museum Lima Peru - laugh travel eat

Larco Museum is about 30 minute taxi ride from the historic center and one of the most beautiful museums I have been to. It is one of the best places to learn about Peruvian history with well-organised artefacts and pieces placed chronologically.

Larco Museum Lima Peru - laugh travel eat

They also have a beautiful museum restaurant and an erotic pottery exhibition next to it that’s free to visit.

Note: if you have more time, I’ll spend an extra day in Lima – you can check my full Lima itinerary here along with more dining recommendations.

Day 3: Lima to Cusco

Flight from lima to cusco.

We flew the next morning from Lima to Cusco, which is the fastest way to travel between the cities with numerous flights a day.

A quick warning that flying from 0 to 3000m+ above sea level can result in altitude sickness!

An alternative to flying would be taking the bus or tours like Peru hop to make your way up while sight-seeing. But you need to budget around 3-4 days for the whole process.

Cusco was the heart of the Inca Empire and re-structured under Spanish rules to become one of the most vibrant towns that see hundreds of thousands of tourists.

Around town Cusco Peru - laugh travel eat-2

Think uneven, stone-paved pavements, alleyways, bricks, churches, and colonial buildings surrounded by mountains and you’ll have Cusco. It is one of the oldest living cities in the Americas and if I had more time, I’d definitely spend it here, too.

After we settled into our hotel, we took a walk around Cusco city center to soak in the atmosphere and the vibe.

Cicciolina Restaurant dinner

Cicciolina Restaurant Cusco Peru - laugh travel eat

Cicciolina is one of the top restaurants in Cusco and for a good reason. The Italian and Peruvian fusion eatery is not one of the most attentive restaurants I’ve been to, the price tag is also not bad.

bread Cicciolina Restaurant Cusco Peru - laugh travel eat

They gave us bread baskets and the four of us shared 1 starter, 2 mains, and a dessert. The starter was their special of the day, a quail egg scallop bite.

chicken Cicciolina Restaurant Cusco Peru - laugh travel eat

For the main dishes, we ordered the chicken with polenta and Peruvian yellow potato gnocchi. Our favourite was the Lucuma and chocolate mousse. The price came to about 100 soles per person.

dessert Cicciolina Restaurant Cusco Peru - laugh travel eat

Address: C. Palacio 110, Cusco 08002, Peru

Opening times: 12:30 – 21:30

Where to stay in Cusco

Union Hotel Cusco Peru - laugh travel eat

Mid-range: Union Hotel Cusco has a homey B&B style with the best breakfast spread and Kiki the alpaca as resident. It’s about a 7 minute walk from the main square on cobble-stone street.

Union Hotel Cusco Peru - laugh travel eat

One thing I’d say is that they have free airport pick up but not only forgot us but made us pay for the taxi. The rooms are also on the darker side.

If you want to stick to Casa Andina (yes, it’s a chain!), the Casa Andina Standard Cusco Catedral is even closer to the main square and surprisingly modern inside.

Xima Hotel is where we stayed for a night after the hike and it’s a bigger scale hotel about 10 minutes from the main square on the main road. It’s a bit dated but has an old school charm to it and a big buffet breakfast.

Day 4: Cusco Sacsayhuaman

Sacsayhuaman.

hike up to Sacsayhuaman Cusco Peru - laugh travel eat

Sacsayhuaman – which sounds like sexy woman, is an Inca ruin on the higher slopes of Cusco. A lot of people would hike up there from the city center as an acclimatisation hike.

hike up to Sacsayhuaman Cusco Peru - laugh travel eat

We encountered a friendly local on the way up and our Spanish friend strike up a conversation with him and we ended up going horse riding to see a few free ruins instead for 50 soles.

horse riding around ruins in Cusco Peru - laugh travel eat

Given that the Sacsayhuaman entrance ticket is 50 soles, it’s more or less the same.

horse riding around ruins in Cusco Peru - laugh travel eat

If you are interested in horse riding tours, here are a few I found online:

  • 3 hour horse riding with a family ranch
  • A more off-the-beaten path horse riding trail

Mistura Grill Cusco

Mistura Grill Cusco Peru - laugh travel eat

We had a hearty lunch at Mistura Grill Cusco which has window seats overlooking Cusco’s main square. The portion was huge and the food was decent.

Mistura Grill Cusco Peru - laugh travel eat

Unless you normally eat larger portions I recommend you split one order between two.

Address: Portal de Panes 137, Cusco 08002, Peru

Opening times: 10:30 – 23:30

Relaxing Time Massage

As we flew in from Lima to Cusco, 3 out of 4 of us got altitude sickness so we went to get a massage to feel better. 

Relaxing Time Massage Cusco Peru - laugh travel eat

I tried the Inca Massage and it was pretty good, but doesn’t seem too different to the cheaper deep tissue!

Briefing for Salkantay Trek

office Alpaca Expeditions Salkantay Trek Cusco Peru - laugh travel eat

There is a briefing for the Salkantay Trek at the Alpaca Expeditions main office. Almost all multi-day hikes except for the 2D1N Machu Picchu trip would require briefing the day before departure! So many sure to account the time for that.

Organika Restaurant

Organika restaurant Cusco Peru - laugh travel eat

Another amazing restaurant in Cusco, Organika serves – you guessed it – organic food. The food is delicious and they not only have traditional Peruvian food on the menu but also pizza and pasta!

pizza Organika restaurant Cusco Peru - laugh travel eat

We got the alpaca fillet because it’s their signature, and it’s actually so delicious. We also got a pizza and their carrot cake (served in little bites). Everything was super yum.

Address: Ataud 154, Cusco 08000, Peru

Opening times: 11:00 – 22:00

Day 5: Cusco + start of Salkantay Trek

We spent most of the morning packing for our hike and had a huge breakfast at our hotel. Since we had an earlier departure, we decided that it was better to eat a big breakfast than hurrying to eat lunch.

We mostly wanted to just roam around the city but we did find a gem:

ChocoMuseo aka Chocolate Museum

cocao museum Cusco Peru - laugh travel eat

The Chocolate Museum is a free-to-visit chocolate shop with exhibitions for you to learn about cacao fruit. It’s also a great place to buy some chocolate as souvenir and or as fuel for the hike.

cocao museum Cusco Peru - laugh travel eat

They also run workshops and tours as well if you have more time.

Address: Plaza Regocijo, Cusco 08000, Peru

Opening times: 9:00 – 20:00

Salkantay Trek Start!

Day 6 – 10 salkantay trek + machu picchu.

For the most important part of our trip: the Salkantay Trek and Machu Picchu, we decided to go with Alpaca Expeditions. You can see the full review and what the hike is like in my Salkantay Trek blog post.

humantay lake day 1 Alpaca Expeditions Salkantay Trek Cusco Peru - laugh travel eat

The two most important factors to deciding whether you want to go on this hike for your trips are:

  • Is it dry season? The rain and mud can make the experience very unpleasant. We went at the end of the wet season and the pouring rain on day 1 made it quite grueling.
  • Are you sensitive or badly affected by high altitude? Because that can also make your hike difficult and less enjoyable.

7 day Peru itinerary

If you only have a week, the best option is to shorten the trek to a 2D1N Machu Picchu hike instead, and have one less day in Cusco.

You might still get affected by altitude sickness, but since the 2D1N trip is not physically demanding, it should be ok with altitude sickness pills.

Day 1-3 Lima

The same as above!

Day 4 Cusco

If you only have one afternoon in Cusco, I recommend just walking around the city center (around the square), and eating at either Cicciolina or Organika Restaurant.

Day 5-7 2D1N Machu Picchu Hike/train trip

There are quite a few options for Machu Picchu 2D1N trip, depending on the level of activeness you want to go for:

classic view of machu picchu day 5 Alpaca Expeditions Salkantay Trek Cusco Peru - laugh travel eat

  • 2D1N hike on the Inca Trail which starts at 4 am on day 1 passing the Sun Gate, but overnighting at a hotel in Aguas Caliente before Machu Picchu the next morning.
  • If you are on a budget, this 2-day trip also includes some hiking with van transfer only to see Machu Picchu
  • Instead of hiking, you’ll see the Sacred Valley on day 1 and then Machu Picchu on day 2 on this 2 day trip from Cusco

Day Trip to Machu Picchu

There are also day trips option to Machu Picchu but be prepared that it would be a very long day of travel! But if your time is short then this would be a good option:

  • This 1 day trip will get you to Machu Picchu via bus and train
  • If you don’t want to wake up too early and don’t mind arriving back to Cusco late, this 1 day trip takes you to Machu Picchu in the afternoon

Other options for Peru itinerary

If you are a none-hiker who stumbled across this itinerary, or if you just want to see more options, here are some places that I would have liked to see if I had time:

Starting from northwest to southeast:

Amazon Rainforest

Peru, Rio Tambopata

While Peru is most famous for the Peruvian Andes, it is also home to a significant part of the Amazon Rainforest. Only 5% of the population lives here, but it is also home to many floral and fauna. Top sights include Puerto Maldonado, Iquitos, and Manu National Park.

  • This 2D1N trip takes you to the confluence with Nanay and Amazon River from Iquitos
  • This 3 day tour from Puerto Maldonado is popular and visits Tambopata National Reserve tour with jungle trek as well

Paracas

Paracas is only a few hours south of Lima and is known as the gateway to the Ballestas Islands and the national park of the same name. You can see the abundant sea life around the island and desert meeting the sea.

  • You can take a day trip to Paracas and Huacachina from Lima if you have time. There is a luxury bus version and a regular version .

Huacachina

This desert oasis near Ica is perfect for sandboarding and dune buggy rides. But it’s also close to Pisco where you can try the national liquor at a local vineyard.

Nazca Lines

Nazca Lines

These ancient geoglyphs etched into the desert floor are one of the world’s most intriguing archaeological mysteries.

  • You can hit Paracas, Huacachina and Nazca Lines on this 2D1N trip!

Arequipa

Known as the “White City” due to its beautiful colonial architecture made from white volcanic stone, it also boasts the stunning Santa Catalina Monastery.

  • You can take this 2D1N trip from Arequipa to Puno via Colca Canyon

Why join a walking tour in europe.

Europe is home to some of the best hiking and walking adventures in the world! From the towering peaks of the Alps , to the romantic coastlines of Greece , to the historically rich landscapes of Ireland , Europe offers the active traveler a myriad of world-class options.

Combining breathtaking scenery with wonderful, local cuisine and thousands of years of well-documented history, Europe offers the inquisitive mind and all your senses a stimulating and invigorating experience. It is truly a place where you can immerse yourself in the culture, the landscapes, the history and the food.

A guided tour provides the ability to relax and enjoy your walk through Europe without having to worry about logistics, language barriers, food restrictions and much more. With an expert, local guide leading the way, you will see the very best of the area you visit, enjoying the must-do hikes and learning about the fascinating history of Europe as you go.

The question of when to visit Europe is an important one. The answer depends on where you’re going.

When to Hike In the Alps and Pyrenees

The Alps and Pyrenees are most accessible and enjoyable in the summer months of June, July, August and September. June and September will be less crowded than July and August.

When to Hike IN Iceland and Norway

Iceland and Norway are also best in the summer months of June, July, August and September. Like the Alps and Pyrenees, June and September will be less crowded. However, in June especially, you could be walking in quite a bit of snow compared to July and August.

When to Hike IN Greece

Greece is best in Spring and Fall. Because of its Mediterranean setting, summers can be quite hot. Spring and Fall offer the best opportunity to enjoy Greece’s amazing coastlines, islands and deserts in warmth, but without the more intense heat of summer.

When to Hike IN Ireland

Ireland, like Greece, is best in the Spring and Fall. Summers in Ireland are exceptionally crowded, so the shoulder seasons offer a wonderful combination of lesser crowds and moderate walking temperatures.

When to Hike IN Madeira

Madeira, being an island, is also best in the Spring and Fall. Enjoy its ocean-moderated temperatures as early as late winter and early fall as well!

Join a Guided Walking Tour of Europe or Go On Your Own?

Whether to join an organized tour or go on your own is a common question would-be visitors ask when planning their trip to Europe. There are strong benefits to each option, which we’ve outlined below.

Joining a Guided Walking Tour

There are many benefits of joining a guided tour. First and foremost, you will be with a local, professional guide who will provide several key functions:

  • They will smooth out the language barrier so you can more easily navigate logistical issues related to transportation, food needs, medical needs, accommodations and much more.
  • They will provide an important element of cultural immersion. By going with a local guide, you will have an opportunity to learn about the local customs, traditions, foods, economic trends and more from someone who is from that culture.
  • Your guide will educate you about the history of the area as only a local person can. You will learn about the cultural history, the natural and cultural history, the flora and fauna, the geology and more. These elements vary in many nuanced ways between destinations, so having an expert to walk you through them is invaluable.

Joining a guided tour also provides a fun social element, as you and a group of like-minded people explore a new area together. Our Europe walking and hiking tours have maximum group sizes of 12, so perhaps you won’t connect with everyone, but often guests find several people in the group who they truly enjoy. And more often than you might think, entire groups bond with each other in meaningful ways.

Going On Your Own

There are also benefits to going on your own. The biggest benefit is that you can change your plans if and when you desire, easily shifting into new and spontaneous options as they arise. Another benefit is cost – it will likely cost you less to go on your own than it will to join a guided tour.

Whether you choose to join a tour or go on your own, which is a very personal choice, your trip to Europe will be an experience you’ll never forget!
