Cultural Walking tours worldwide are at the core of Kudu Travel's programme, with a range of guided holidays for small groups, incorporating both daily exercise (to help burn off the excellent food and wine enjoyed at restaurant meals!) and significant cultural experiences (from opera to art galleries).
Walking is the most natural way to travel, undoubtedly enhancing an understanding of the country visited, and the trick is to strike the right balance - sufficient exercise to feel pleasantly stretched and relaxed, while reserving the energy to explore castles, museums, markets and galleries.
Choose from a range of activity levels - moderately demanding in Ethiopia (Simien Mountains)

Choose from a range of activity levels - moderately demanding in Ethiopia (Simien Mountains) or the Faroe Islands; standard level in countries as diverse as Albania , Panama, India, Morocco, USA and Uzbekistan; or relaxed level in the Caribbean (Bequia & Grenada), or on walks with opera and music in Italy, Norway, Switzerland and Finland.
Most importantly, we intend the walking to add a purely pleasurable dimension to your holiday, so that you return home culturally stimulated and with that extra buzz from being a little fitter!
Out in the N Atlantic, the Faroe Islands are undeniably remote and a sought-after destination for the adventurous. Highlights include the dramatic scenery, colourful fishing villages, large seabird colonies (puffins, skuas and gannets) and learning about the history of a unique small nation. Running 27 Jun - 4 Jul 2024, the trip costs from £ 3601.
The mountain ranges of Bulgaria offer fine highland scenery and excellent walking opportunities. Old-fashioned farming methods and a lack of industry result in unspoilt landscapes rarely seen in Western Europe. Late summer is the perfect time to make our 13-day comprehensive tour of this little-known land.
We begin in Cordoba, visiting 8th century Mezquita and the Cathedral within it. We walk in the Sierra Subbéticas and the Alpujarras to see castles, ‘white villages’, olive groves and vineyards which lie along the historic route to our ultimate goal, Granada and the magnificent Alhambra. Optional extension to Seville is available.
Kudu’s new tour (20 - 31 August 2024) explores great Brick Gothic churches and cathedrals in Hanseatic League ports on the sea and the Vistula river; castles built by the Teutonic Knights and iconic sites in the life of Nicholas Copernicus in northern Poland. We walk on forest trails and take boat trips on the Elblag Canal and the Baltic Sea.
Following in the Footsteps of Patrick Leigh Fermor in Greece is a highly original 11-day tour dedicated to the celebrated writer. We begin in central Athens, then travel to the monasteries of Meteora, Missolonghi with its Lord Byron associations and the southern Peloponnese.
