Answers to Frequently
Asked Questions
Q. What will we have to carry on
our tour?
A. All your luggage will be transported by our innkeepers, the only
thing on your back will be a small day pack to hold your trail snack,
camera and small personal items.
Q. Am I too young or too old?
A. Age is more a state of mind than a number! As long as you are in good
physical condition and enjoy nature's peace and quiet, you'll enjoy the
tour.
Q. This is my first walking tour -
will I be able to handle it?
A. Yes, provided you are in reasonably good physical condition.
Remember, our innkeepers can drop you off at a starting point that is
the number of miles you desire from your destination. You set your own
pace!
Q. I'm single. Will I be out of
place?
A. Our groups generally comprise about half couples, half singles.
Whatever the make up of the group, we take pride in making everyone feel
comfortable so that they enjoy the hiking holiday with us.
Q. What exactly is included in the
cost?
A. Unlike many other tours, there are no hidden costs on our holidays.
Our price includes all your lodging and all your meals as well as all
lodging and dining taxes and gratuities. By being a small group of
private inns whose owners work together, we are able to offer great
hospitality and great value for your money on all our trips. Also, when
we say "a 4-day trip" we mean 4 nights of lodging and meals, a
5-day trip is 5 nights.
Q. We are a group of friends. Can
you arrange a tour just for us?
A. Certainly. our inns each have at least 8 guest trooms and each inn
ahas at least three rooms that can accomodate more than 2 people per
room. We specialize in arranging many such tours each year. Just
give us a call.
Q. I am on a special diet, can I
be accommodated?
A. Of course. As long as we have advance notice, we can accommodate
special dietary requests such as: vegetarian, low fat, etc.
Q. What do I need to bring?
A. When you sign up for a trip you will be sent a complete list of what
you will need to bring. Apart from a small day pack, poncho, and
comfortable walking shoes, you will not need to purchase any special
gear for one of our tours.
Q. Do we actually walk from inn to
inn?
A. On some legs our tour starts at the inn's door. On others and on
request from all, we provide transportation to the starting point of a
walk best suited to you that will take you to the next inn.
Q. What type of footwear do I
need?
A. Tennis or walking shoes, made for flat surfaces are not recommended,
of course hiking boots will work fine as well, but are not necessary.
Q. What if it rains?
A. We have never had a day when we didn't walk due to rain! In fact,
some of our most memorable tours have been on wet days when a sudden
clearing and rainbow appeared. No one has to walk in the rain but those
that do usually find the experience invigorating and worthwhile
