At Walk Travel Advisory, walking is our passion. With many years’ experience organising and undertaking walking trips, the team at WTA has a deep knowledge of the world’s best walks.
As our name suggests, we’re here to provide independent advice to help you plan and book your next walking holiday.
Importantly, we've chosen not to be a tour operator or to align with any tour operator. This differentiates us from most other walking holiday businesses where the "product" on offer is limited to one tour operator's catalogue. We help our clients choose from the entire universe of walks out there.
Our website provides some examples of wonderful walks, but we have many more amazing trails on our database. With walking holidays increasing in popularity, new walks are regularly being developed, so our database is constantly expanding.
Cathy Henderson, co-founder of Walk Travel Advisory:
"Nothing gives me more pleasure than helping a client choose their perfect walking holiday from the vast array of walks, walking tour operators and ever-increasing walking holiday products on offer.

My own walking holiday experiences began in the high country of Victoria, Australia. In the wild beauty of this remote alpine region, I first experienced the rewards of multi-day walks. I found the combination of breathtaking mountain scenery and physical challenge exhilarating.
It wasn’t long before I ventured overseas to experience international multi-day walks. I discovered the wonders of walking in New Zealand, starting with the renowned Routeburn Track in Mount Aspiring National Park. Walking in NZ revealed that country’s phenomenal landscape as well as the camaraderie that comes from sharing a trail with walkers from around the world.
That same wonderful sense of a walking community was ever-present when I tackled the iconic Tour du Mont Blanc in Europe. Few walks so deserve iconic status - the TMB visits three countries (France, Italy and Switzerland) whilst circling one of Europe’s mightiest mountain chains, the Mont Blanc Massif.
Whilst living and working in London, I explored the extensive range of walking trails in the United Kingdom and Europe. Those early walks led me to travel writing and, later, to become a travel agent and start Walk Travel Advisory.
At WTA, we cover all walking terrains and interests including coastal, riverside, moorlands, valleys, historical, cultural and pilgrimages. We cater for a wide range of abilities, fitness levels, accommodation preferences and budgets. WTA is also here to help group travellers as well as solo travellers.’
