FAQs: Guided Hiking & Walking Tours with Right Path Adventures
Helpful Info on Fitness Levels, Trip Planning, Weather, and More
Do I need to be super fit or experienced to join a walking tour?
Not at all. Our tours are designed for everyday travelers who enjoy scenic walking, not extreme hiking. With over 40 years of guiding experience, we tailor each day’s walk to match your comfort and fitness level, ensuring an enjoyable adventure for everyone.
What’s the difference between your tours and other European walking trips?
Right Path Adventures offers small-group, all-inclusive walking tours led personally by veteran guide Gary Scott and his wife Katarina. With 70+ years of combined hospitality experience, we focus on hidden gems, authentic local experiences, and flexibility you won’t find on big commercial tours.
What’s the weather like in the Dolomites and Portugal during your tour seasons?
The Dolomites (June–Sept) enjoy clear, cool mornings and mild afternoons—ideal for hiking. Portugal (Jan–April) is our sunny winter escape, with comfortable spring-like temperatures perfect for outdoor exploration.
What if I can’t keep up with the group?
You don’t need to worry—our day hikes are flexible and personalized. We frequently adjust the route or pace, and even split the group when needed, so each guest can enjoy the experience without pressure.
What kind of accommodations and meals can I expect?
We stay in charming, family-run 3- to 4-star hotels known for their comfort, hospitality, and location. Meals are a highlight—expect authentic, locally sourced cuisine at places where the locals eat, not tourist traps.
Is this a good tour for solo travelers or older adults?
Absolutely. Many of our guests travel solo or are in their 50s, 60s, or 70s. We keep group sizes small (8–12 max), so you’ll feel welcomed, included, and part of a friendly community from day one.
What’s your cancellation policy?
We offer a 10-day grace period after booking where you can cancel and receive a full refund of your deposit. We believe in keeping things fair and stress-free, just like our tours.
Why don’t you share detailed itineraries before booking?
We believe adventure should include a little surprise! That said, our decades of experience ensure every day is thoughtfully planned, with flexibility to adapt based on weather and group preferences. You’ll always be in expert hands.
