Winter Blues Got You Down?

Many people think about vacationing during the summer or spring, but the winter months in the U.S. are actually some of the best times to travel abroad. Many areas of the world are quite sunny and balmy right now and can make for a great escape from the snow, sleet and ice much of the country is experiencing.

We’ve got a host of walking and cycling tours to choose from this winter that travel to destinations in Bermuda, the French Caribbean, Gozo (Malta), Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Ecuador, Kenya, Costa Rica, Chile, Galapagos, St. Lucia, the Canary Islands, Madeira, Mallorca, Menorca and Cyprus.

Some of our favorite winter tours include:

Secrets of Andalucia, Spain – This is a guided trip that is very popular. You’ll feel more like house guests than paying customers! This walking trip in sunny Spain is at our 2 boot, moderate level, which means the longest walking day is 5-6 hours. It takes you through the traditional Andalucian countryside with a day-trip to Granada and an opportunity to walk around the famous Alhambra.

Highlights of Gozo Cycling, Malta – Never heard of Gozo? Join the rest of the U.S.! Part of Malta, Gozo is a hidden jewel in the Mediterranean popular with British vacationers. Ranked one of our easiest bike tours, you’ll cycle throughout this island known for its mild temperatures past beautifully secluded bays and stunning turquoise seas.

Walks in the Floating Gardens, Madeira/Portugal – This one-boot rated guided walking tour takes you along the famous levadas, past a wonderful array of exotic flowers, traditional fishing ports where fishermen lay their catch to dry in the sun, and the bustling harbor of Funchal with its colorful market.

Can’t you just see yourself now?
