A Walkers World レビュー 17

We booked a cycling trip thru Walkers world and as we were a bespoke tour, it took a little while to confirm as everything as we had specific dates to adhere to but we had the most incredible week cycling from Seville to Granada. Our guide Richard was so accommodating and knowledgeable and really understood what we were looking for in a tour. Highly recommend it.

Great cycling trip, very organised. Lots of variety in terrain and towns we visited. Lovely spacious, clean boat. Tasty big meals. Guides were informative, friendly and bubbly.

On 31st July 2025 we began a week's long cycle tour with Boat Bike Tour Group. We began in Amsterdam and ended in Bruges staying each night on an excellent river barge called Magnifique IV. During each day, while the barge repositioned itself further along the canals, we (30 cyclists from several countries) cycled in two groups (a long cycle route versus a shorter route) each guided by a Tour Leader. The terrain was completely sealed, mostly very flat and generally on cycle paths which were separate from the roads.
We really enjoyed the experience, the scenery, the food and the people. Several evenings we went ashore as a group after an onboard dinner to tour the city that we were moored in. Otherwise we socialised the evenings away onboard. Bruges is such a magnificent city we stayed another 4 days to enjoy it.

Provence Villages and Vineyards Cycle Tour
Our cycle tour arranged by Walkers World was a great experience. Stunning scenery through typical French Countryside including vineyards, picturesque villages, beautiful rivers and more.
The accomodation was outstanding from country estates to quaint hotels in the middle of towns. All provided lovely continental breakfasts.
Most of the ride was on well maintained cycle tracks with only a couple of areas involving busy roads and off road terrain. But we were up for the challenge.
The bikes were first class. We only had one hiccup with GPS one day.
We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend this tour and Walkers World.

Berlin to Copenhagen Bike Ride

We completed this fantastic ride organised through A Walker World.
The ride was beautiful, through many open pastures, cycle paths lined with wild flowers. Through forest and bush tracks to wild seas, it really was picturesque. Most of the ride was on well maintained cycle tracks.
All the accomodation was outstanding and very relaxing, by lovely rivers, lakes, small villages and seas to even a golf course. Just what you need after a day on the bike. In the evenings we would wander around the beautiful local villages. The breakfasts always delicious setting us up for the day.
We especially liked that we could chose our own path for the day, from the recommended cycle tracks, Komoot bike tracks or plot your own course – there was lots of variety to choose from, to suit every level of biker.
A fantastic trip we highly recommend. Thanks again A Walker World.

My wife and I had the pleasure of cycling the Moselle river from Cochem to Metz, arranged by A Walker's World and staying on the MS Princesse Royal. This was our second trip with A Walker's World, the first being Brugge to Amsterdam two years before. The number of passengers on the latest trip was small enough to be able to talk to all of them and by the end of the trip there was a real sense of comaraderie amongst the passengers. The crew were exceptional, nothing was a problem and the two cycling guides worked well together keeping the 35 cyclists informed, entertained and looked after everybody’s bikes. The cyclists were split into two groups and so there was much to talk about after each day’s ride.

We were fortunate to have fine weather during the trip and experienced one of Europe’s heat waves. As with many of the other cyclist we had hired E bikes and so we created our own breeze when cycling. But the perspiration certainly started when ever we stopped with many cyclists dunking various pieces of clothing in the river or local fountain to keep cool.

The galley on the boat was quite small so the chef did an exceptional job in cooking a variety of meals for 35 people, especially during the heat wave. In fact the passengers would cheer and break out in applause every time the chef appeared. After each day’s ride there were cool drinks and a selection of nibbles waiting for us, which went down a treat.

All in all it was a very enjoyable, relaxing (yes, relaxing as the only thing you had to think about was what you would be wearing for the day), fun trip. We would not hesitate in recommending a cycling trip organised by A Walker's World."

In 2023 my wife and I walked the final 100km of the Camino Frances from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, (organised by Walkers World).
We enjoyed this experience so much that we contacted Walkers World again to organise walking the entire 800km Camino Frances in 2025. We broke the trip into two 400km segments in order to meet some commitments at home. We walked the first 400km from St Jean Pied de port to Carrion de los Condes in May and the second 400km from Carrion de los Condes to Santiago de Compostela in September/October.
Walkers World organised our flights, trains, accomodation, bag transfers and a meal package.
Walking the Camino was a truly life changing adventure which is hard to put in to words.
From the extraordinary views walking over the Pyrenees to the special moments retracing the steps of pilgrims who have walked this path since the ninth century. We walked over mountains, through villages, cities, countryside, and vineyards to the cathedral in Santiago.
We also enjoyed the camaraderie of fellow pilgrims from all around the world of all different ages stages of life and religions. Everyone had a story and a reason for undertaking their Camino.
We also loved the food including the pilgrims meals, Basque cheesecake, tortilla and Santiago cake.
The walk is a challenge but the package put together by Walkers World enabled us to do "our Camino" and make it to Santiago de Compostela.
For anyone wanting a detailed day to day description of the walk reading
"The French Way:trekking the 40 Day El Camino de Santiago" by New Zealander Lorraine Thomson is helpful. The author also used Walkers World to make her travel arrangements.
Buen Camino!

I hiked the camino primitivo in june. Was mY first-ever hike I No i picked the hardest one but was so worth it the experience and views were so beautiful. Walkers world was primo with every aspect from info of daily routes pick of bags to hotels each day contact ph number of any issues. I called once to double check a hotel info and was called straight back. I def recommend this walk to anyone and so will use Walkers world for my next hike. Thank-you

Our Southern Spain cycle tour was an awesome experience! It was everything and more we had wished for. Stunning scenery, lovely weather and fabulous little inland and coastal villages to stay in. Travelling by bike really allows you to soak in the countryside and explore areas you possibly wouldn’t go to by car.

Hubby and I did the Mont Blanc West Self-Guided hiking tour in September 2025. The organisation from Walkers World was really good. We were provided instructions for downloading an app with all the information we needed and it worked offline.
We are both in our 50's and pretty fit but it turns out, I wasn't quite fit enough. The hikes were really tough - very up and very down. Hubby loved it. Loved the challenge and pushing himself, I on the other hand, loved the views and the wildlife, just not the challenging downs. There are some great paths and some areas where there are none and you kinda head the direction that feels right. Thankfully it mostly was... except when we followed someone thinking they were going the same direction as us and after half an hour of walking down a lovely path, hubby's watch vibrated and he said "wait up... oh we need to go back up" as we went left instead of right. Oh and the reason it took so long for the watch to let him know we were on the wrong path is because connection can get lost.
The places Walkers World organised were fantastic. The included breakfasts were really good and the bags were always collected and at our accommodation when we finally arrived.
I had a bit of an injury on the second to last hike so we decided we wouldn't do the last hike and called the emergency line to find out how we could get to Bourg Saint Maurice and they were so very helpful and organised us a taxi from Les Contamines and although it was expensive, it was worth it - turned out my foot had two stress fractures - and all the hassle of public transport would have been too much.
The weather meant we didn't get as fantastic views as some will get but the cloud made for some spectacular views anyway.
TL/DR: if you are planning on hiking Mont Blanc, Walkers World are great and provide very good information.
Mont Blanc has some challenging ups and downs, especially if you're less than 5 foot 7, don't have good leg or arm strength to clamber up or down rocks or stamina to keep going when it's tough.
PSA: make sure all them muscles and stuff around your knees are strong for the downs.

The trip was amazing. The accommodation exceeded expectations, we loved arriving each afternoon to a swimming pool and a great room. The e-bikes were very comfortable and we never ran out of battery power. It was great having the options of more or less off road each day and the GPS Ride app got us to where we needed to be. It was essential to have a power bank with us to keep the phone charged while navigating with the app. We got to see a variety of landscapes from coastal to inland and were lucky enough to see baby storks in their nests. There were plenty of places to stop along the way for a drink or food and being self guided we could stop wherever we liked. The bags were moved to our new accommodation each day, ready and waiting when we arrived. The staff at the hotels made us feel welcome when we arrived, one even going out of his way to bring wine to the poolside for us. The length of the rides each day allowed for a leisurely start in the morning and still arrive with time to relax by the pool or do some sight seeing. Most of the riding was pretty easy but there were a couple of more challenging off road bits. Apparently a huge amount of rain had fallen recently and that damaged some tracks which would account for it. I would defintely use this company again. My only concern is that this trip was so good it could be hard for the next trip to match it!

We recently spent time in the Gironde area, close to Bordeaux, walking from St Emilion to Sauternes. The walks were enjoyable and gave us time to enjoy the beauty of the French countryside away from large crowds. Walkers World gave us a guide book and app to keep us on track and the B&Bs were first class with more than ample breakfasts included in the price. I would certainly use them again without hesitation.
The only issue we had was that the trials need to be resurveyed by WW and brought up to date as we ended up off piste a couple of times.

We booked this ride through our travel agent in New Zealand starting from just outside Lisbon doing the coastal ride. As the timing of other group rides didn't suit our schedule it was just us and a guide for the first 6 days to Porto. We found our guide great and the ride was very scenic and mostly easy riding only a few off road trails that should not have been included as they were over grown and impassable. We were glad to have had a guide in these situations as we would have had to work out an alternative route ourselves. After spending 3 days in Porto having a rest we self guided over 6 days to Santiago de Compostela. Again easy to follow GPS we only had a few issues on a day where we were taken through the middle of a very large city that was extremely hard to navigate and our longest days ride and the hilliest. At time we felt we were riding in someone's back yard but we had no trouble understanding when we were being told off. All in all a very enjoyable experience. Bikes were great, bag drop everyday was seamless, accommodation outstanding.

The planning of this bike and boat trip was flawless.
We joined a lovely group of bikers. The bike was satisfactory and the guide allowed my daughter to upgrade to an e-bike for a couple of days. The tour guide was fantastic—knowledgeable and helpful. All good with bikers of varying ability. Croatia was wonderful from start to end, well beyond expectations.

Communication from the start with A Walkers Workd ( Auckland) was not prompt I frequently had to follow up my emails with a phone call to get a response.
We have just completed the Lombardy Lakes self guided tour which they organused through Due Route nel Vent. The positives are the accommodation was mostly as expected and in good locations .
The negatives are the company they sub contract to did not provide what we had booked. Ie the bikes were meant to come with a phone holder, bike lock each but we got 1 between 2. After some communication once we had started they accepted we would not be held responsible for bike theft , as they refused to provide lock per bike as paid for.
The itinerary had not been updated. So to come across closed roads and cycling on track that said No cyclists is not service. We assume from storm several weeks prior
There was no communication from the company re these changes to the track.
When the bikes were dropped off very limited info was given by a person who did nit speak Englush. Other times from other companies they have checked all were familiar with the bikes.
There are numerous companies that provide this service. I suggest you check other options and not use a third party

We went on the Puglia and Basilicata walking tour in April. We really enjoyed the variety of landscape (rugged plateaux, woodlands, jagged pinnacles, ancient olive groves) and townscapes (cave-houses in Matera, trulli in Alberobello, cube-shapes in Ostuni). All the accommodation was very good, especially the apartment in Matera and the trulli house in Alberobello. Transfers to the track start-points were on-time and comfortable. Our guides Michele and Cossimo were excellent companions and were very knowledgeable about the local history, geography etc.
This was our second walking tour with Walkers World, and we enjoy the style of self-guided walking while our luggage is transferred to our next night’s accommodation.

Fabulous experience for us.
From the moment we stepped on board until the end of our trip was just so good. All staff were knowledgeable well organised and totally professional, and the food. WOW!
