Astrid Dejon

You'll be part of a small group of walkers, complete with your own guide. Each day, you'll be guided along well-planned routes at a leisurley pace, so there's plenty of time to take in the scenery. Most days will begin with a short transfer from your hotel to the walk's starting point; that way you don't cover the same ground every day.
