SOFIA, BULGARIA, November 29, 2008
/24-7PressRelease/ -- The popularity and the idea of the inn to inn hiking vacations have been attracting millions and millions of adherents during the last decade, proving to be among the best ways to explore independently different cultures, people, nature and habits - a tourism in the true sense of the word.
The main purpose of Inn Walking (http://www.innwalking.com) is to provide end-customers with a variety of self-guided walking tours, listed directly by the companies who organize them. The unification of the appearance of the tours on the website has been set to provide easy navigation to users through the most important parts of each tour - introduction, day by day itinerary with duration and difficulty of the walks, accommodation and meal plan, best travel period and of course price. Hints and joining instructions are also available. However we know that this can not always be enough to make a final decision That is why an easy access through enquiry form is also available, providing immediate connection with the tour supplier for more details.
Inn Walking covers a well expanding range of self-guided walks worldwide, including Spain, Italy, France, Turkey, Portugal, Austria, Turkey, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Switzerland etc. Africa, Australia and the Americas will soon have their destinations as well published there.
Starting an individual walking tour for the first time is always an exciting issue, which needs some initial preparations and information background. There are FAQ-s mentioned on the website (http://www.innwalking.com) which are also listed below in brief:
What is normally included in the price?
Ground-only services are included - accommodation in double rooms with en-suite facilities, different mealplan based on the possibility to buy your own food, luggage transfers and/or short transfers in connection with the tour, detailed roadbook and map in English.
What sorts of accommodation are normally used?
It is a phylosophy of the self-guided walks to use home stays, family-run hotels, huts, pensions or good 3*** hotels in general where travellers can experience in detail the local way of life at first hand, habits, food and personal attitude too.
How difficult the tours are?
All trips are suitable for good walkers with no special skills (e.g. no rock climbing or ice-walking experience is needed) but still some tours are easier than others. On average the daily treks comprise appr. 13-18km walk (taking about 4-5 hrs), with uphill/downhill walk ranging between 400 and 800m.
What is the average group size?
In general the self-guided tours are run anytime within the best period for each particular trip with a minimum group size of 2 persons, while some are also possible for individuals. It is very likely that you will meet other parties following the same route at the same time but do not forget that most of the people coming on a self-guided trek have chosen this type of holiday only because they wish to spend some time on their own without anyone walking by their side.
What sort of equipment should you bring along?
When booking a self-guided tour it is generally taken as granted that you have some experience of walking without a guide following maps and tourist signs. This also includes at least basic background of what you might need going somewhere.
What is a roadbook?
The roadbook you should be given prior departure and contains notes about your tour which will help you stay on the right path all the time. Take some time and study all possibilities for the next day the day before.
How can you get to the starting point?
Initial information on how to get to the starting point (and also how to get back from the last point) is available either in the trip dossier of each trip or in the pre-departure information which you can request from the tour's supplier.
How does a typical day look like?
Normally in the evening of the previous day you read the roadbook for the next day and decide when to start. Please do inform yourself about the weather forecast in advance so that you can change your plans in order to avoid showers or storms. Now that you are aware of what is expecting you, you can arrange your day as per your wishes, leaving more time on places of interest of you.
What should you read before you go there?
We do encourage everybody to read more about the destination they are going to before getting there. Please note that the roadbook and the trip dossier will give you only information that is essential for the walking trip itself but not about the history of certain places or the local habits and holidays etc.
