For more than three decades, Country Walkers has helped active travelers explore some of the world’s most beautiful destinations on foot, pairing scenic walks with memorable meals, authentic lodging and meaningful cultural experiences. To make travel easier, they now offer 13 Flight + Tour Combos to Europe and the option to arrive two full days before most group walking tour departures. Early arrivals receive breakfast at their hotel, time to get acquainted with the surroundings, and transfers to the tour departure point. For an additional fee, travelers can request flight upgrades, preferred airlines, specific departure times, or alternate city routes.
New combos include Croatia: The Dalmatian Coast Flight + Tour Combo, which highlights the palace of Emperor Diocletian, the 16th-century Pustinja Blaca monastery and the historic Spanjola Fortress. The itinerary visits the UNESCO World Heritage cities of Split and Dubrovnik, takes in the striking Golden Cape and the olive groves of Brač, explores Hvar’s lavender fields, and showcases the medieval stonework of Korčula.
Another featured option is Italy: The Amalfi Coast & Capri Flight + Tour Combo, which begins and ends with stays at the 5-star Grand Hotel Vesuvio.
