We have used Hillwalk Tours for five trips. Every one was amazing. Hillwalk took care of all the details. Our accommodations were great and the food recommendations were excellent. The trickiest part was getting to and from the start/finish. Hillwalk did send information about potential public transportation. Highly recommend this company.
Fantastic company to book your walks! I found all the places I stayed to be very nice which hasn't been my experience with other companies. The route notes are very well done,adding additional information on sightseeing and historical sites. Prompt responses is always important and they do this very well. One trip down with Hillwalk and 3 more booked!

Excelente empresa. Fui muito bem atendido e todas as dúvidas sanadas. Fiz a caminhada Kerry Way Moderado (12 dias). Sou do Brasil e recebi todo o material impresso e mapas sem problemas. Todas as informações necessárias para a caminhada são fornecidas, assim como o aplicativo para navegação digital. B&B´s de ótima qualidade com anfitriões receptivos e gentis. Transporte da bagagem ao longo do caminho funcionou perfeitamente estando nos B&B´s no horário. Os traslados combinados ocorreram sem problemas. Agradecimento especial a Katherin e Niamh que me atenderam e toda a equipe da Hillwalk Tours. Empresa será fortemente recomendada aos meus conhecidos e espero em breve poder fazer uma outra caminhada. Obrigado!
Wir waren ab Mitte Oktober auf dem Fischerweg in Portugal.
Bestens organisiert von Hillwalker. Hat alles geklappt.
Selbst das Wetter.... war fast zu warm, Sonne pur.
Die Beschreibungen waren einwandfrei. Navigation mit der von Hillwalker bereitgestellten "Hiiker" - App problemlos.
(O.K. man muss sich an die App gewöhnen, aber im Prinzip funktioniert diese App wie Komoot oder Outdooractice.
Aber der Weg ist so gut beschildert und markiert, dass die App fast nur für Extra - Touren gebraucht wurde. Hotels und B&B einwandfrei! Der Gepäcktransporteur war auch bzgl. unserer Tourenänderungen sehr entgegen kommend, problemlos.
Hat richtig Spaß gemacht, gerne wieder.
Just what you need if you want to do leisurely long-distance hiking without being bothered with dirty details like accommodation, luggage transfers, and the like. We used them several times, and they always did a marvelous job.
Just finished my second holiday with Hillwalk. Once again, the experience was unforgettable. From the ease of planning the trip, to the cost, to the excellent lodging and transportation, and to the ease of working with this group, it was a pleasure to plan and execute this holiday. Can’t wait to plan my third.
Hillwalk tours went out of their way to help us on this supported but self-guided hiking adventure on the West Highland Way in Scotland.
The signup procedure was clear and punctual. The same contact person worked with us from start to finish as we changed participants 4 times!!!!!
The accomodations were super.
The luggage transfer seamless.
The maps were more than we needed.
The help during the trip was amazing as we had to adjust with major storm and power outages.
Hillwalk Tours could have done no better. They topped the chart.
Wonderful experience with Hillwalk in Portugal on the Fisherman's Trail. The scenery was beautiful and the stops along the route each unique. We had wonderful accommodations, and the walking packet was on-point. The Hillwalk team was very responsive with any questions and made the trip a stress-free experience.

This was our 5th time with Hillwalk Tours - this time on the Great Glen Way - and all of them have been great. The staff is really friendly and easy to communicate with. The accommodations vary but generally are very good, and the maps and wayfinding for the trails we have completed are easy to navigate.
From the first emails coinfirming our trip I felt I was getting personalized service, and the Bed and Breakfasts we were booked in were all great. October turned out to be a great time to hike Hadrians wall. Not too crowded and perfect temperatures for walking . We walked a "moderate " hike and I have to admit it was a bit more challenging that I had thought, but not un doable. The entire hike was filled with great panoramas and i loved the wind blowing at us from the west. We hope to book again in the lake country. A very civilized holiday. We only spent one week in England and I wish we had given ourself an extra day or two to get over jet lag before starting the hike. Great trip for couples. Good to have someone spur you on and keep you going. I felt the cost of the trip was fair and we absolutely got what we paid for and more out of this trip.
We enjoyed a well-planned multi-day hike along the Beara Way (Castletownbere to Kenmare). The B&Bs were all very good, with helpful hosts and hearty meals to help you slog through the bogs (who knew hillsides, ridge tops and mountain tops could have bogs?!?!). The hike itself is not for beginners - and take an extra pair of boots (you’ll need them if it has rained!).
I just completed the 10-day hike along Hadrian’s Wall Path with the company, and it was a wonderful experience! Everything was perfectly organized, from the route to the charming B&Bs they booked for me. Their support made the journey smooth and enjoyable. A big thank you for making this adventure so special—I can highly recommend them!
Seemless experience hiking the Beara Way with Hillwalk tours. Wonderful accomodations with gracious hosts. Directions and trip notes were very clear and helpful. Staff suggested this hike as an alternative to the Dingle Way and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip (despite all of the rain).
With a group of 10 Belgian hikers, we did the 8-day Pembrokeshire Coastal Path last June. It was fantastic, thanks to the good weather and the excellent organisation by Hillwalktours, which I can highly recommend 👍👍👏
Hillwalk Tours handled everything we needed - lodgings, luggage transfers, directions and more. We got ourselves to the starting point; everything else was taken care of. Friendly and helpful staff answered all of our questions promptly and courteously. Will definitely book with them again..
With Hillwalk Tours you can book a tailor-made trip. You choose the time, the number of days and the difficulty of the walking route. The communication with the Hillwalk Tours team is fantastic! They are involved, helpful and very friendly. The B&Bs are all good. The information package is very extensive and complete. After two trips with Hillwalk Tours I can highly recommend this organization.
Our first-ever inn-to-inn hike, and we’re completely smitten with the Cotswold Way.
Winding through rolling hills, wildflower meadows, breezy woodlands, ancient stone walls and storybook villages, this path is the definition of English countryside charm. Every step is steeped in history and honey-hued stone, with adorable sheep dotting the fields and views that make you pause & smile at every mile.
The trail is part hike, part treasure hunt—with twists, turns, hidden markers, and quirky stone stiles that feel like puzzles to solve and gates that blend right into hedgerows. Each one felt like a level completed in a beautifully handcrafted game.
Yes, there were steep inclines and tricky descents, but the reward? Scones sliced in half, layered with jam and clotted cream—thick, rich, and indulgent. Crispy fish & chips for dinner hit the spot. And Cider. Absolutely perfect after an 11 mile day.
The weather was more beautiful than we could have imagined. We met some fine folks along the way, and ended each day at charming inns with great food and drink—including the best truffle goat cheese pizza we’ve ever had (though the 11 miles may have helped!).
77 miles in 7 days. ✅ What a trip!
Now we’re hooked. And dreaming of the next one already.
We meant to train... but didn’t. 😅 Despite a few blisters, some knee pain, sore hamstrings, and the occasional shin splint, it was absolutely worth it.
We used Hillwalk Tours -- they made the experience seamless—they transported our luggage, booked our inns and breakfasts, and provided excellent maps, directions, suggested stops, and a helpful hiking app. All we had to do was carry a daypack and enjoy the journey. What a way to live for a week!
Great experience. They took care of everything from booking the B&Bs, the detailed trail notes, transferring my luggage each day, and any shuttles between the hikes, all I had to do was show up at the first location. The hike itself was beautiful. Definitely want to do this again.
This is our third Hillwalk hike, we love this company so much! This time we did Portugal's Fisherman's Trail. The accommodations were absolutely fantastic! The directions were perfect. Looking forward to booking hike #4!
