CALENDAR OF EVENTS

If you have specific dates in mind, and you’re looking for something that will fit into those dates, here’s the schedule of events in calendar form.

2025 TOUR SCHEDULE

The schedule is filling up nicely, but we are still occasionally moving a tour if there are no bookings on it, to make way for a group that wants to do something, but has specific dates in mind. Once a tour has bookings, it becomes fixed in the calendar and we work around it. Anything with a red border is now fixed and we can’t move it. We’ll update the schedule regularly.

We can only run certain tours at certain times. Tours in the French Pyrenees can only be run between 1st June and 30th September, because that’s when the road over the Tourmalet is officially open and cleared of snow. The Portugal tours are only run in May and October, and the Spanish Pyrenees tours in late May/June or September, because of the likelihood of extreme heat. We run the high altitude tours (Dolomites & Stelvio, and the Alps) in the hottest months, to avoid the risk of cold weather, or even snow. We don’t run St Malo to Nice tours during the school summer holidays, because in some places there’s only one viable hotel, and there’s no way we could persuade them to take a one night booking for a big group, when they could have the hotel full for a week with families.

Where you can see more than one tour for the same dates, we’ll only be running one (we run all our tours ourselves, we don’t subcontract them out to any Tom, Dick or Harry we can find), and it’s a question of which one books first. Once a tour has bookings, we’ll cancel the alternative one and amend the schedule.
