Self-guided travel with Macs Adventure is for independent, active people who don’t want to be part of the crowd or restricted by set dates and schedules. Go at your own pace, with the people you choose, without the worry of planning routes or arranging trip logistics. We take care of all that for you. It’s active travel, led by you.

Escape the cold winter months with a winter sun walking or cycling holiday. Beat the peak-season crowds to enjoy a more relaxed and authentic experience. Discover your ideal winter break destination.

All of our trips, including the most popular routes, are now available to book for 2025. The incredible Tour du Mont Blanc sells out every year, so get to the front of the queue. Planning to experience the delights of May on the West Highland Way? We can’t emphasise the urgency enough—spots are filling up fast! Start writing your 2025 story now by planning ahead for a year filled with achievement. Secure your adventure today!

A walking holiday gives you time to immerse yourself in the landscape and culture. No timetables, just one foot in front of the other. Explore a Classic UK Trail for a warm welcome, or slow things down to truly discover your chosen destination on a Slower Adventure.

Cycling lets you explore more, but still at a pace that suits you. Browse the most popular cycling holidays for inspiration.

Walking with added spirituality. Walking ancient routes, pilgrimages like the Camino de Santiago allow you to connect with the land, its history and with yourself.
