We don't buy packaged tours from other tour operators. We are a tour operator. Walking Adventures International does not require travelers to make their own way to a meeting point at an unfamiliar railroad station or hotel in a foreign city of a non-English speaking country. Nor will your guide be a stranger from a foreign country who is not part of our WAI team and whom you will never see again on a subsequent WAI tour. With North American tours, the meeting point is generally the airport closest to our first hotel or an airport hotel with an airport shuttle service.
International tours meet at a domestic airport and fly together to our starting point overseas.
One of our own intelligent, articulate, all around great WAI guides will be with you from start to finish. One of us, however, will always be with the group. Volkssport is a German name for a network of sports clubs throughout Europe and North America. It's quite natural that they settled on this cryptic-sounding German name since the whole concept started in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in the 1960's. The idea is to get people of all ages outdoors to exercise in events where everyone is declared the winner.
