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.
If you’re the active, outdoorsy type, who’s interested in taking on the great routes of the world or looking for a challenge, then our Classic Routes category is for you. We’re talking the West Highland Way in Scotland, the world renown Tour Du Mont Blanc and Germany's Moselle Cycle Path, to name a few!
For those looking to follow a path of self-discovery. Our Pilgrimage and Camino routes take you on a journey through diverse landscapes and local flavors, while meeting like-minded adventurers along the way.
Where walking and cycling meet easy-going exploring, our Slower Adventures are the perfect combination. Most days are filled with picturesque journeys with some free time to dive into the destination and experience the people, local food and culture as you go.

Why Colorado is the perfect base for Macs Adventure's North American headquarters.
"Multiday walking trips, where the emphasis is on taking in the sights rather than crunching miles, are on the rise - and not just among the young and sprightly."
