We organise your accommodation, provide maps and directions and move your luggage while you walk or ride each day. Itineraries include popular long distance routes like Offa's Dyke, Lon Las Cymru and Sarn Helen as well as tours we've created ourselves to bring you the best bits of Wales. Electric Wales! You can now choose to ride any of our cycling holidays on a top-of-the-range electric bike.
Escorted group tours are a great way to make new friends, and with your own tour leader to guide the way there's no need to worry about map-reading, trailside repairs or choosing which local beer to try in the pub!
We offer a wide range of walking and cycling itineraries graded from ``easy`` to ``strenuous`` but we understand that all our customers are unique. Our philosophy isn't to sell you an ``off the peg`` holiday but to tailor the tour to your exact requirements. So let us know if you would like us to put together an extra-challenging MTB weekend, a charity bike ride or a long-distance walk with dog-friendly accommodation and we will do our best to make it happen.
