Self-guided travel with Macs Adventure is for independent, active people who don’t want to be restricted by set dates and schedules. With no group or guide, you can 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.

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 line! Planning to experience the delights of May on the West Highland Way? We can’t emphasize the urgency enough—spots fill up fast. Start writing your 2025 story now by planning ahead for a year filled with achievement. Secure your adventure today!

To slow down and walk through an area is to really immerse yourself in it. A walking tour gives you time to interact with local people, eat when and where you want, no timetables!

Biking lets you explore more, but still at a pace that suits you. Bike around the honey-colored towns of southern Sicily, or take it easy biking the Loire In Style.

 

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