• Each day brings its own exciting challenges, giving you daily doses of achievement when your accommodation comes into view – time to celebrate with your favourite drink
• See the world from a different angle, away from tourist traps and popular locations - you’ll get a better appreciation for a region and its local communities. Think of the memories and stories you’ll return home with
• It creates an opportunity to meet the locals, try native cuisine made with local ingredients, and stay in established lodgings run by local people – what a way to support these communities
• You’re at one with nature, with a sense of peace and serenity, and a feeling you’re making unchartered discoveries – because on our trips, we leave the smallest of footprints

• You choose when you want to go, how long you want to go for and who you want to go with (or go solo for some me-time)
• Some trips have the option to add on extra days if you fancy spending a bit longer somewhere – we get it, we wouldn’t want to leave either!
• Some routes have an In Style version where the accommodation is more of a treat. We’re talking boutique hotels, country manors and even wine estates, all in spectacular locations

• Travel at your own pace – not to a guide’s or group’s schedule
• No tour groups to slow you down when you’re on a roll, or keep you moving when you want a moment to absorb the views or enjoy a longer lunch
• Many of our itineraries have a free day to explore sites at your leisure or do some extra walking or cycling
• Some trips have optional activities like a wine tasting or city tour – take it or leave it, up to you

• Our routes are tried and tested, and the itineraries are carefully planned by our award-winning adventure experts
• Specialists hand-pick, try, test and book your accommodation – almost always small and locally-owned businesses
• We organise luggage transfers from one accommodation to the other, so you only need a day pack when you’re out and about – that's another weight off your shoulders
• 24/7 world-class phone and emergency support, should you ever need us
• We supply a route info pack, maps and an easy-to-use app so all your turn-by-turn route directions are in the palm of your hand. The app works offline too, so you don’t have to worry about data service overseas
• Our specialists can provide personal recommendations for restaurants, bars, trip highlights and more!

• Self-guided travel is what we do best. From the get-go, we’ve always worked with local suppliers and small businesses. And by offering walking and cycling holidays, we’re keeping it low impact on our routes with as light a footprint on the environment as possible
• Travelling with Macs Adventure is all about breaking free from the tourist traps and exploring like a local. No big groups or crowded tour buses here. Instead, we use cosy B&Bs and locally run hotels, perfect for solos, couples or groups of friends and family. You'll get a taste of the real culture and support the local economy at the same time. It's a win-win

"This trip gave me so much more than I thought, it started with an idea, made its way to a plan and eventually a booking. Macs Adventure surpassed all expectations, accommodation was great, we were welcomed with open arms at every stop. A group of seven travelled all of various fitness levels, the sense of achievement each day on completion was rewarded with a local beer and a few snacks. The silence walking through rural villages, the scenery, the smells, the peace will stay with me forever. We cannot wait to try another adventure thank you."
