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!
This is an adventurous walking tour that goes off the beaten track in some style (with comfortable hotels and very good food and wine). Running from 16 - 30 May 2025 (max 14 guests), tour highlights include walking to isolated churches with Byzantine frescoes, to hilltop castles and ruined cities, and high in the Albanian Alps for flowers.
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.
Panama, a Wildlife and Cultural Walking Tour, encompasses the World Heritage architecture and museums of Panama City and a thorough exploration of the country of Panama, from the famous canal to observing rainforest wildlife and snorkelling in the Bocas del Toro archipelago. Running 2 - 14 Feb 2025 (max 14 guests) the trip costs from £5,911 pp
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.
Tenerife has an appealing climate all year round. The unspoilt interior has good paths and mule trails in dramatic mountain scenery, ideal for a winter-sunshine walking getaway. Our 9-day itinerary offers 5 half-day walks in the Teno Mountains, Mt. Teide National Park and the Anaga Rural Park. Running in Nov '24, the tour costs from £2586.
