Randonnee Tours is a Canadian company focusing on self-guided biking and hiking tours in Canada and a few select European countries. It was acquired by Great Explorations in 2005. Cycling is their primary focus but they offer a great selection of unique hiking and multi-sport trips in Canada. We’ve had their Gulf Islands Hiking trip on our radar for awhile. The only reason we’ve never booked it is because we are not fans of their $500 per person cancellation fee.
Review of Randonnee Tours Website
Randonnee’s site has a good clean design but it’s not search-friendly unless you already know what country you want to visit. You can narrow your search to hiking vs biking but then you have to browse over five pages of results. There are no filters allowing you to narrow your options. When you view the trip, however, they provide all the important details (including daily elevation). We love that they offer lodging options in different price/comfort levels and that they give the names of those accommodations.
