Each Wayfarers walk is specifically designed to delve into the cultural abundance of a region best
explored on foot. Led by an expert guide who is intimately familiar with the region and its terrain,
customs and traditions, groups of eight to 10 walkers, on average, set a leisurely pace through
cobblestoned villages, city squares, rocky trails and coastal paths as they deepen their connection to
their surroundings and their fellow travelers. Wayfarers’ programs include all accommodations,
meals and trail snacks, wine with dinner, entrance fees, two guides (a walk leader and a logistics
manager), van transport for moving luggage and resting walkers, and taxes and gratuities at hotels
and restaurants.
