Explore the world one step at a time. Slow down, take in the incredible views, and immerse yourself with the places you visit. With our self-guided walking holidays, wander through new landscapes, connect with locals, and dine where and when you want.
Self-guided cycling lets you cover more ground at your own pace as you enjoy the ease of a dedicated cycle path, or pedal the backroads of Europe and the UK. Challenge yourself with a standard bike, or upgrade to an E-bike for a bit of an assist.
Walking or cycling, but with added spirituality. Pilgrimage tours like the Camino de Santiago allow you to connect with the land, its history and yourself.
If you’re the active, outdoorsy type, who’s interested in taking on the great routes of the world or looking for a challenge, then our Classic Routes are for you. We’re talking the West Highland Way, Tour Du Mont Blanc and the Elbe Cycle Path, to name but a few!
For those looking to follow a path of self-discovery. Our Pilgrimage and Camino routes take you on a journey through diverse landscapes and local flavours, while meeting like-minded adventurers along the way.
Where walking and cycling meet easy-going exploring, our Slower Adventures are the perfect combination. Most days are filled with picturesque journeys with some free time to dive into the destination and experience the people, local food and culture as you go.
After a day of exciting adventures and soaking up unbeatable scenery, retreat to stylish accommodations and unwind with fine food and wine. This trip type is for those who like sophisticated places to stay and are looking for active routes but still want the holiday to feel special.
Think of it as a ‘local’s guide’ to the best of the region. It includes a combination of activity and transportation to give you the freedom to explore and cover more ground at your own pace. We do all the research and organisation for you. All you have to do is turn up and enjoy!
At Macs, we don’t do tour buses, groups, or guides. Instead, we give you the freedom and confidence to have your own self-guided walking or cycling adventure.

Follow along with our season one host, Arlette Godges, as she walks along Scotland's famous 96-mile long-distance trek: The West Highland Way.
At Macs, we focus on four key areas where we can make a real difference. Measuring our carbon footprint, maintaining and restoring trails, becoming B Corp certified, and advocating for low impact self-guided travel.
We love finding the unique, out of the way locations for our trips, but sometimes you just want to walk the bucket list trips. This collection of trips are the big hitters, the ones that are busting with scenery, local flavour and are just waiting for you to come and visit.
Macs Adventure are delighted to partner with the Hebridean Baker, Coinneach MacLeod, who will be joining us in championing self-guided as the best way to travel.
There is a network of outstanding trails that crisscross England, protected, waymarked and showcasing the very best scenery the country has to offer. To enjoy world-class hiking, there is no need to leave the country.
