The Pure Adventures self-guided formula always includes charming upper end lodging, luggage transfers, a variety of meals, local English speaking contact, expertly planned routes with interesting sites, maps, bike rentals, and more! Please see our Self Guided Travel page or the press release discussing this in detail.
