Page 7 - Active Europe UTracks

We’ve developed a range of travel styles so that you can explore Europe exactly the way you want.
SELF GUIDED TRIPS
Have a good sense of direction? We’ll provide you with detailed maps, directions and 7 day local support plus handle all the necessary trip logistics, like booking your hotels and luggage transfers so that you can explore Europe at your own pace. Many self guided tours have daily departures. Trips in mountainous terrain require previous outdoor experience, contour map reading and basic orientation skills.
GUIDED GROUP TOURS
Enjoy the company of kindred spirits on a guided or small group trip, and the benefits of an experienced local multi-lingual guide, who will work tirelessly to make sure your holiday runs smoothly and bring to life the flora, fauna and history of their homelands. Depending on the chosen trip, group sizes generally vary from 6 to 22 people, or somewhat larger on some boat based departures.
PRIVATE GROUPS
Fundraising events, sporting trips and family reunions are just a few reasons to consider a Private Group holiday. With manygroupsstartingfromjust6travellers, you’ll be surprised how affordable and rewarding a Private Group tour can be. Talk to our experts for more information.
