Join our Founders' Walk in the Algarve this Fall!
Join founder Chris Hague to explore Portugal's spectacular Algarve coastline. Getting off the beaten path, heading westward towards the setting sun, you'll leave the old town of Faro and discover a coastline of majestic cliffs and hidden bays.
The tiny isle of Culatra is a marvelous little sandbar island in the natural park of Ria Formosa, near the old fishing town of Olhao. Be prepared to travel back in time, because here there are no paved roads and no traffic. If you want to see the traditional Portuguese fishermen's lifestyle, this is the place to be.
Let the salty air stimulate your appetite and settle down at one of the tables of the local eateries to try the oh-so-fresh and tasty seafood.
Inland, old Portugal still exists. Moorish Medieval castle towns look down on white-washed villages and the views stretch away to the ever-present sea. As the most south-westerly point in mainland Europe, the rugged and forbidding Cape St Vincenthas long been considered sacred ground. To the Romans this really was the 'Edge of the World', a supernatural vortex where the setting sun was dramatically submerged by the immense, unknown ocean.
The Scottish Borders
Our Walk follows the river Tweed, weaving tales of lords and kings, of military conquests and uprisings, of literary masterpieces and of life along the meandering Tweed, famous for salmon and made rich by the wool and cotton mills of the Industrial Revolution.
The Dordogne
Imagine all the reasons there could possibly be to travel to France. Yes, the Dordogne has it all! Beautiful chateaux, traditional French gastronomy, a bucolic landscape of vineyards, forests and rivers.
Channel to Channel
Walk inn-to-inn from the English Channel to Bristol Channel through the delights of the Devon countryside. This is a fun and intriguing Walk through an historic part of Britain not often in the limelight.
Sardinia & Corsica
Set in the middle of the Tyrrhenian Sea, the islands of Sardinia and Corsica, one Italian, one proudly French, sit together under the Mediterranean sun. Sardinia is an undeveloped beauty, natural landscapes seemingly untouched by time and perfect for nature-lovers and anyone fascinated by ancient civilizations.

Why Wayfarers
Wayfaring
'Wayfaring', the ultimate in slow travel, means absorbing each destination up close, on foot and with friends.
On a Wayfarers' walking vacation you travel with a small group of like-minded people under the guidance of our renowned Walk Leaders. After 30 years in the travel business we believe that no other tour operator big or small has guides like ours.
We offer superb value for money, everything is included, from meals and drinks to accommodation and guides.
Our wonderful itineraries are unique to The Wayfarers. We develop all of our own trips personally and update them afresh every year. Even in well-visited areas, we offer inspired routes and local contacts that you won't find with any other tour company.
Walking with The Wayfarers brings direct benefit to the people who welcome us so warmly to their region. As the ultimate 'slow travelers' we believe that meeting and spending time with those who care for their heritage is good for everyone. Our support nurtures local economies and we gain greater insight into local culture.
