Europe

The classic landscapes of Europe, captured on the canvases of Renaissance and Impressionist painters, are astonishingly diverse, with thick woodlands, limestone mountains, sunny pastures and dramatic coastlines.
From the soft contoured hills of Tuscany to the savage peaks of Andalucia’s Sierra Nevada they provide a wonderful kaleidoscope of terrain for walkers and cyclists. In addition to the ever-changing scenery there are medieval hill towns to explore, along with charming hamlets, great rivers, tidy vineyards and ancient olive groves.
Peregrine’s wide variety of holidays allows you to discover one, or more of these regions in depth. Each has been carefully designed to give you a complete overview of the area you have chosen to explore, and our selection of quality accommodation is almost as varied as the landscape. We include charming village hotels, working farmhouses and superior country inns - all of which offer a very personalised service, as well as giving you the opportunity to mix with the local people.
If this isn’t already enough to whet the appetite, there’s also the local cuisine. Travelling in Europe should stimulate the taste buds, as well as the mind, so we’ve taken care to ensure all trips include many meals that reflect the specialities of the region.
You have a choice of ‘Guided’, or ‘Independent’ holidays. Experienced local leaders, either born or resident in the region, whose knowledge of the language, customs and traditions add immensely to the experience, lead all guided walks. ‘Independent’ walking and cycling trips are also available; these follow a pre-planned itinerary and allow you a greater measure of freedom and flexibility. Whichever you choose, you’re assured of a wonderful experience.
