Discovery Travel provides self-guided walking holidays for a range of destinations throughout Britain. This means that you have the independence to start a trip on any day to suit you, to travel at your own pace, to visit places of interest and do all the things you want to do, when you want to do them.
Included as standard in the price
The price quoted is per person and is based on two people sharing a room. It includes:
- Carefully selected, en-suite bed and breakfast accommodation*
- Daily luggage transfers to your accommodation**
- All the necessary maps and guidebooks for your walk
- Route notes and maps detailing how to find your B&B at the end of each day
- The cost of any transfers that are required from the route to your accommodation if we are unable to book you into a B&B within easy walking distance of the trail
- Information of any special facilities offered by your hosts (eg laundry service or licensed bar)
- Suggestions and contact details for places for an evening meal each day
- Telephone support during your walk if and when required
- Advice from our team on travel to and from the start and end of the hike.
*En-suite is always chosen unless all options are booked out, in which private bathrooms are sought. Customers are always consulted about non-en-suite options before details are finalised.
**Standard package includes one piece of baggage per walker, up to a maximum weight of 20kg. Additional bags can be transferred but incur an additional cost. Please enquire if you need this service.
Packed lunches and evening meals
Many of the accommodation providers we use offer packed lunches to keep you well fed during your walk. Where the B&B doesn’t provide this service, there will be local shops in the town or village where you can obtain lunch items. The cost of packed lunches is not included in our package, payment is made directly to your hosts. Similarly, if you have an evening meal either at your accommodation or another local establishment, you pay them directly for it.
Optional extras that can be provided by Discovery Travel
Discovery Travel specialises in providing completely tailor-made services to our clients. This means that if our standard published itineraries do not suit our customers’ needs, we are always happy to discuss ways in which we can adjust accommodation, shorten or lengthen itineraries and distances to make for the perfect trip.
We also offer the following services to make for a seamless holiday:
- Transport to and from the start and finish of a trail
- Airport transfers
- Minibus and driver service, in particular for large groups where multiple accommodations are required each night and transfers are frequently required at the end of the day’s walk
If you are interested in any of the above or have any particular requirements, please do contact us to discuss your needs.
