Our escorted group walks explore some of the world's most beautiful mountain regions. Our walks are either based in small inns and hotels, mountain huts and refuges, or you may have the chance to sleep out under canvas or even under the stars on a camping tour. It is the type of walk and terrain that dictates where we stay rather than the facilities, but we always seek a blend of ambience and comfort.   Our camping treks are assisted by a support team so you have little to carry. Meals vary from walk to walk - some nights we dine in camp, others we eat in local restaurants as a group, on others you may want to take off and choose your own place to eat. It very much depends on the tour itinerary in each case.   Group sizes vary in number: On our 'Research and Development' tours there may only be a handful of people, but in a general group there will be between 6 and 15 walkers and an international flavour prevails, with companions from North America to New Zealand. Whether camping or staying in charming village pensions and tavernas, the experience will bring you closer to your fellow travellers and the local culture you are visiting. The role of the leader in this sense is crucial to your overall enjoyment of the tour, not only in just finding the trail, but also checking out  for possible hazards, looking after you, nurturing, encouraging and hopefully inspiring you. They are selected for having a good range of experience in the field. Some will have specific mountaineering qualifications, others will be more specialists in a certain area. Some tours will have a more of a historical content than others and thus more history to relate (such as Treasures of Tuscany Escorted), others will be a more direct physical challenges such as Stok Kangri.  Leaders will either be locals tried and  tested in their own environments, U.K. nationals or a mixture of the two. They will all hold First Aid qualifications and a rudimentary First Aid kit is always carried, whose content will vary dependent upon the isolation experienced during the tour.     Escorted walking
