Self-Guided Tours: Travel at Your Own Pace.

Organized tours create itinerary but give you freedom to bike or hike to next destination.

By Veronica Stoddart, AARP. Published October 11, 2024.

Did you ever want to take an organized tour but wished that it provided more independence and the ability to customize the experience? Then a self-guided tour, also known as inn-to-inn walking, may be for you.

A hot new trend among American travelers (though it’s been popular in Europe for years), these tours allow participants to follow a detailed itinerary and stay at prebooked accommodations arranged by a company that transports their luggage from hotel to hotel. Tourgoers travel on their own — typically by hiking or biking — rather than with a guided group, so they have more control over their trip and can blend in more easily with residents. Best of all, they don’t have to plan their routes or make their own travel arrangements.
