Are luggage transfers included on these trips?

Yes, on most trips daily luggage transfers are part of the Macs Way, so you only carry a day pack between stays. Check your chosen trip's inclusions for route-specific details.

What's included in the price?

Comfy, characterful accommodations, daily luggage transfers, turn-by-turn navigation in the palm of your hand, and full support along the way. Check each trip page for the exact inclusions.

Can I book a top trip solo?

Yes, solo travelers are welcome on the vast majority of our trips. There are no groups on a Macs Adventure trip, so you can travel solo or with the people you choose. A single supplement applies for solo travelers, and your quote shows the exact amount.

How difficult are these trips?

Every trip is graded, so you can pick your level. The Canal du Midi is easy-going flat towpath, the West Highland Way is a steady classic, and the Highlights of the Tour du Mont Blanc is a real challenge. Check the activity level on each trip page.

Broken-in hiking shoes or boots, waterproof layers and a day pack cover the basics for hiking. For biking trips, add a helmet and padded shorts. Each trip page lists route-specific gear.

Can I customize my itinerary?

Yes – while our routes are expertly planned and fine-tuned by our team, you can add rest days, extra nights before or after, or book trips back to back. Get in touch and we’ll help you find the right fit

How early should I book a 2027 trip?

As early as you can. Our complete Tour du Mont Blanc and Alta Via 1 Classic have already sold out for 2027, and Camino Holy Year demand is high. As of Oct 2026, the Highlights of the Tour du Mont Blanc and the Highlights of the Alta Via 1 in Comfort still have dates, so book early for first pick of departures and stays.
