First, book your Macs Adventure trip and wait for your itinerary to be confirmed.
Once you get confirmation from Macs, book your overland travel to and/or from your Macs Adventure trip with Byway.
Both Macs and Byway will be in touch with further info. These are separate trip bookings, coordinated so you have one great trip.
Our Concierge team can create a custom trip for you. Fill in the form on the Concierge page, letting us know which tour you are booked on, the dates, and whether you’d like us to change anything in the example itinerary. We will send you a custom itinerary for your specifications that you can easily book online.
For more than two decades, Macs Adventure has been creating self-guided walking and cycling holidays that connect travellers with landscapes, communities and local places. As part of their ongoing commitments, they continue to look at how they operate and how they can encourage responsible travel choices across trips.
Itineraries are designed to support independent exploration, working with local accommodation providers and businesses wherever possible. By choosing locally owned stays and services, travellers can enjoy a more authentic experience while contributing to the communities they visit.
Macs also believe that the journey is an important part of the adventure. Through partnership with Byway, travellers can combine their Macs Adventure holiday with flight-free travel options by rail or ferry, creating a more considered way to reach your destination.
Travelling by train offers the chance to slow down, enjoy the scenery and experience more of the places between home and the trail.
Europe’s extensive rail network makes it possible to reach many destinations by train, turning the journey into part of the adventure.
From rolling Scottish landscapes and French countryside to mountain views across Austria and beyond, travelling by rail offers a relaxed way to discover more along the way.
Choosing rail can also be an alternative to flying for many journeys. For example, travelling from London to Italy by train can produce fewer emissions than travelling by air. Emissions vary depending on the route, operator and travel conditions, but choosing rail is one way travellers can consider the impact of how they reach their destination.
