The Blue Walk offers small-group and private group walking holidays that combine art and culture in carefully selected European destinations. Designed for travelers looking to explore at a relaxed pace, Blue Walk tours provide plenty of time for sightseeing and a selection of daily walks, making it a great choice for walkers who want a mix of independent walking and socializing. Expect leisurely daily walks of around 2–4 miles, with frequent stops at points of interest. We especially love that this company is owned by two American women who love walking holidays and slow travel as much as we do — kindred spirits!
