Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know
Planning a luxury walking holiday through Majorca should be as seamless as the journey itself. Here is how we ensure your experience with Gourmet Hiker is effortless, inclusive, and exceptional.
What is included in the price?
Our tours are genuinely all-inclusive (excluding flights). When we say all-inclusive, we mean it—right down to the mid-hike ice cream or the tip for the waiter.
- Luxury Stays: Handpicked four-star boutique hotels and atmospheric country houses.
- Gourmet Dining: All meals, from elegant restaurant dinners to artisan picnic lunches, paired with fine local wines.
- Total Support: Expert guides, luggage transfers, and a support vehicle always on standby.
- Curation: Wine tastings, cooking classes, museum visits, and airport transfers are all included.
Who will I be walking with?
There is no “average” hiker, but there is a shared spirit. We attract like-minded, friendly travelers from all over the world who appreciate great conversation as much as a great view.
- Group Size: Typically 8 guests, with a strict maximum of 16.
- Solo Travelers: You are very welcome! You’ll enjoy your own double room (for a nominal supplement) and a warm, convivial social atmosphere.
- Age: Guests must be 18+ (except for private family bookings).
How flexible are the hikes?
This is your holiday, not a boot camp. Each day, our guides provide a detailed briefing on the terrain and difficulty.
- The Choice is Yours: If you’d prefer a rest day, our Tour Manager can drive you directly to the next hotel or lunch spot.
- Support: Our vehicle is available throughout the day (except on rare high-mountain sections with no road access).
Logistics & Peace of Mind
- Safety First: We are a fully bonded tour operator. Our team is available 24/7, and our guides are trained to handle any trail scenario.
- Dietary Needs: We cater to all allergies and requirements; simply let us know when booking.
- Booking: Secure your place with a £500 deposit. The final balance is due 60 days before departure.
- Insurance: Comprehensive travel insurance is a condition of booking to ensure you are protected against any eventuality.
Your Dedicated Team
Every trip is staffed by at least two experts:
- The Tour Manager: Handles the “magic” behind the scenes—luggage, logistics, and dining.
- The Hiking Guide: Leads the way, sharing “sound bites” of local history and nature to keep you entertained and informed.
