Wondering what you actually get with an all-inclusive hiking tour? Here’s what’s included in every Trailmates Adventures trip – and what makes it special.
When planning a walking holiday, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with logistics. What’s included? What’s extra? Are transfers arranged? Will you need to book accommodation separately?
At Trailmates Adventures, we believe travel should be simple, transparent, and enjoyable from the start. That’s why all of our trips are structured as all-inclusive hiking adventures – not in the “resort buffet” sense, but in a way that removes the stress from planning while still offering flexibility and freedom.
Here’s what “all-inclusive” really means when you book one of our small group hiking holidays.
Every Trailmates trip is led by an experienced, English-speaking guide who knows the local area inside out. They’re more than route leaders – they’re storytellers, translators, and cultural hosts who enhance the experience at every turn.
From navigating scenic trails to recommending the best dish at dinner, your guide ensures every detail is handled so you can focus on the walk.
You won’t be camping in the wild or dragging bags from place to place. Our tours include pre-booked accommodation that’s handpicked for charm, comfort, and proximity to the trails.
We use locally owned guesthouses, small hotels, and rural lodges that reflect the personality of the destination. Rooms are typically double or twin-share, with the option for a private room (single supplement) for solo travellers who prefer their own space.
No need to worry about catching trains or booking taxis between hiking points. Every Trailmates itinerary includes all ground transfers between locations during the tour.
Whether it’s a minibus to the next trailhead or a scenic drive between towns, transport is fully arranged and factored into your trip – giving you a smooth, door-to-door experience each day.
Each day includes a carefully chosen walking route designed for your fitness level and interests. Our all-inclusive hiking adventures are suitable for everyday walkers – no technical skills, scrambling, or extreme distances.
Trails range from coastal paths and countryside rambles to alpine ridgelines and forested tracks. The walking pace is relaxed and flexible, with breaks to take photos, enjoy the view, or chat with your fellow hikers.
We cap group sizes at around 8 people to maintain a friendly, inclusive feel. This allows for a more personal experience where everyone feels part of the journey – whether you’re travelling solo or with a friend.
It also means your guide can tailor the experience more closely to the group, adjusting pace, route, or rest stops as needed.
While hiking is the heart of every trip, it’s not all about the trails. You’ll also get to enjoy the local culture – from food and architecture to historical sites and regional traditions.
Whether it’s sipping wine in a family-run vineyard, wandering through medieval villages, or chatting with guesthouse owners over breakfast, these small moments bring each destination to life.
We don’t include flights or most meals. This keeps the tour price flexible and lets you travel from your preferred airport or spend as much (or as little) as you like on food. That said, your guide will always recommend great local spots for meals – and in some tours, certain breakfasts or dinners are included (you’ll see this in each trip’s full details).
We also don’t include gear – but we’ll let you know exactly what to bring in your pre-departure pack.
The real benefit of our all-inclusive hiking adventures is peace of mind. From the moment you arrive at the starting point to the day you finish your final walk, everything is coordinated, supported, and thoughtfully planned.
You won’t be juggling bookings or navigating alone – you’ll be walking, connecting, and enjoying the best of Europe’s landscapes with expert guidance and great company.
