Michael West

Michael West in Austria I have spent 45 years gaining experience in the travel business. After running a successful incentive travel company in London in the 1980's, I left the bright lights to find peace restoring an old farmhouse in Dorset. Soon I was sharing my love of exploring the countryside on foot with friends and acquaintances and the concept of an all-inclusive walking vacation was born!

Walking has always been at the heart of The Wayfarers experience and after a quarter century of discovery The Wayfarers formula still continues to develop in response to your expectations. I strive to fulfil each of our guestsâ individual needs and to ensure that each precious day entrusted to our care is filled with happy memories that you will carry with you forever. I do hope we can tempt you to join us on the trail!
