Short tours

Breakaway's specially adapted 4-night "taster" tours have been created for people either looking for an active interlude on a longer overseas trip, or simply wanting to see if they like this sort of trip before committing to a full tour.

Our traditional holidays are typically structured so that you cycle (or walk) one day, stay put the next, etc. for the duration of your trip.  With our 4-night tasters, the formula has been changed so that you move on every day.  In this way, you'll see the maximum the region has to offer within the shortest space of time.  To make sure you still have time to visit places of interest, go wine tasting, laze by the pool and so on, we've kept the walking/cycling distances short and, generally, on fairly flat.  As with our longer tours, we provide detailed maps and route notes, and our staff move your bags from hotel to hotel for you.  Even on the shortest break, we provide 24 hour back up and service:  local pickups, bike rental for cyclists, maps and notes and the transfer of luggage from one hotel to the next.

And superb menus and fine local wines are an integral part of every Breakaway Adventures' tour!

We offer total flexibility over travel too:  extra stopover nights in hotels, rail or flights from your local departure airport.  Just inquire for a tailor-made quote.
