FollowTheBaldie.com provides exclusive personal guided walking tours and treks in and near a dozen cities along the Western Mediterranean coast.

Where

Current destinations include, in Spain, Barcelona, Montserrat, Girona, Tarragona, Valencia, Cadiz, and La Mancha; in France, Marseille; and in Italy, Naples.

How long

Most of our trips take up a morning or an afternoon, but if you go out of town you may be away for most of the day, and we also offer trips of up to a week.

How much

Use the calculator on each walk page to get an estimate (including any travel) for your group. The more of you, the cheaper it gets, but because we use public transport you'll find that prices remain reasonable even for small groups.

How many

We'll take as many as you want to book, although we don't recommend groups larger than 9 for city tours. Unlike most city tours, we won't combine your group with another group to make us extra money at the cost of a satisfying experience for you.

You

We get a huge range of clients, from toddlers to grannies, from rich to stony broke, from Turkmenistan to Tooting. If they have anything in common, it's probably a desire to get away from the parroted monologues of most tour operators and meet up with reality. With prior warning we can cater for wheelchair users on both city and country walks. We also provide bespoke services for other minorities, including ecclesiastical-, Jewish-, Roman-, gay-, radical-, literary-, military- and zombie-themed walks. We have a particular interest in real food and drink, in real portions, as opposed to the over-priced hunger rations served up in some gourmet restaurants.
