Discover the freedom of self-guided walking and cycling holidays

Imagine setting off on an adventure where you dictate the pace and savor the freedom to explore at your leisure. Self-guided walking and cycling holidays offer just that — an opportunity to immerse yourself in nature, culture, and adventure without being bound to a strict itinerary or tour group.

What are self-guided holidays?

Self-guided holidays are all about independence. Instead of following a tour guide, you receive all the necessary tools to navigate your journey on your own. With Intura, these tools include detailed route notes written by our destination experts, along with highlighted maps & the GPS files for the walks or rides that you download to an app on your device. It’s (almost) impossible to get lost! You can choose your start date, and we will take care of the logistics: we book your accommodation and luggage transfers, ensuring you have a comfortable bed each night and only need to carry your daily essentials. We also provide 24/7 emergency telephone assistance throughout your trip, so if you have any concerns or issues along the way, we’re always available to help.
