Walk the world on a rambling holiday with the experts
The world is more beautiful when you're travelling on foot. Quite simply, nothing brings you closer to stunning scenery, different cultures and fascinating wildlife than walking among it all. Wandering through dramatic landscapes, breathing in the fresh air on coastal hikes and being able to take the time to stop and immerse yourself in nature is the best way to explore.
That's the ethos behind walking holiday specialist Ramble Worldwide, which has more than 75 years' experience of guiding small group tours around some of the most incredible places on Earth. So, whether you enjoy classic trails close to home, truly discovering a place on adventurous treks in distant lands, or navigating a self-guided route yourself, Ramble Worldwide has the perfect itinerary. That's why they really are one of the foremost experts in walking holidays.
Ramble Worldwide offers a diverse yet comprehensive range of more than 300 meticulously planned adventures across six continents, and their long-haul holidays for 2026 are on sale now. If you're looking to organise a trip that knocks all others out of the (national) park, these tours showcase the big adventures at the heart of countries across Africa, Asia, Australasia and the Americas – places that demand to be experienced rather than merely viewed.
Asia and Australasia
Asia is a continent of contrasts where you'll lose your heart to a huge variety of scenery, cultures, cuisine and wild landscapes.
With Ramble Worldwide, combine an exploration of Tokyo's bright lights with a visit to Kyoto and a journey into Japan's Zen heartlands for a heady blend of culture, temples and top walking on ancient pathways, including the Nakasendo Way.
Or experience Hong Kong on foot and let a local guide take you behind the modern façade to explore the unspoilt hill country and outlying islands far from the madding crowds.
And there's no better backdrop to a walking holiday than the landscapes of New Zealand, where wild places, waterfalls, wineries and of course incredible walking (although it's known as 'tramping' down there) combine on a trip full of natural highs and cultural insights.
Africa
Africa 's potential for adventure knows no bounds, perfect for those looking to discover a continent teeming with life.
In bohemian Morocco, Ramble Worldwide will help you experience the bustling energy of the cities while exploring the vast stillness of the desert and the majestic Atlas Mountains. You'll be able to hone your haggling skills in the souks, explore Roman ruins and sip mint tea in a remote Berber camp.
For a lifetime of adventure in a single trip take their African Journey. This deep dive into Southern Africa traverses Namibia, Botswana and South Africa. Stand in the rainbow-flecked spray of Victoria Falls, scale the giant dunes at Sossusvlei, take safaris accompanied by a local guide, bush walks with a Bushman guide, and pole through the tributaries of the Okavango on a dugout canoe.
The Americas
Down the length of the Americas lies an unmatched range of landscapes and outdoor adventures, and Ramble Worldwide knows the essential sights and secret corners.
Explore vibrant Vancouver before venturing into the Canadian wilderness to walk among the majestic Rockies. Supersize landscapes are the order of the day in the USA, too, where you can explore six varied national parks and Navajo tribal lands in the southwest.
To the south are destinations that demand to be seen. From the Andes to the Amazon, the peaks of Patagonia to the giant glacier at Perito Moreno, this is nature at its wildest and purest. And overlaid are pre-Colombian ruins, Inca masterpieces, conquistador history and rich tradition, all of which are most intimately experienced on foot.

EXCLUSIVE I slept in my car 1,500m up the Alps - here's the luxurious element that made it much more comfortable than a tent
Like many people around the world, I've been camping plenty of times, and always in the standard way - with a trusted tent and sleeping bag, and stones on the ground in place of a mattress. But the idea of camping in a car is a new one on me - especially as the vehicle I'm spending the night in has a very comfy mattress and refrigerated drinks compartment included. Not only that, but I'm parked 1,500m up the Alps, with a perfect view of a snow-covered Mont Blanc peak in front of me, and grassy, imposing hills, peaks and mountain ranges on either side. It's a far cry from what I've been used to - roughing it in muddy fields and competing with huge families for the toilets and showers. I've driven up to the Mayeres Refuge in Sallanches - only accessible by foot or 4x4 vehicle - in a Dacia Bigster, along with only five other cars parked up to spend the night outside. While there's no nearby coffee shops or supermarkets to escape to, there's also no risk of being surrounded by screaming kids or loud snorers in the tent next door. However, as with any camping trip, the biggest challenge is setting up the tent - or, in this case, the car's Sleep Pack. It's available for £1,740 as an add-on when you buy a Dacia Bigster, Jogger or Duster, and is already halfway surmounted to begin - with no need to assemble any poles, dig holes into the grass, or fight with anyone else about which way up things go. It really is quite simple. The back seats of the car flip down and - hey, presto - a sleep pack essentially folds out inside the car to create a mattress. Underneath the box is storage space, so I have none of the usual hassle of condensation leaving my trainers soggy, and the storage box even flips out into a ledge or table. So with my 'bedroom' in order, I manage to set myself up with coffee and a book to enjoy the vast landscape and the quiet, before rolling over on to my comfy mattress to gaze up at the stars through the sunroof without a hint of pollution. The view is magical, and the perfect way to ease me into one of the other big challenges of camping - getting a full seven hours. And, thanks to no loud snorers in the tent next door, as well as amazing blackout blinds, I'm far more comfortable than I've ever been in a standard tent. In fact, I sleep all the way through to my 5.30am alarm (no way was I missing the sunrise over the top of Mont Blanc) and I'm not mad about the early wakeup at all. The first two hours of the morning, spent entirely alone, watching the sun rise over the mountain range, while tucked into a cosy nest of pillows, are beyond compare. There was no need to worry about being too far away from civilisation. I'm truly disconnected from the hustle of London and the big city, without any WiFi to so much as check in with my friends, and all I can think about is these beautiful views - pink, orange and blue haze from all angles. Even if you aren't a huge fan of the outdoors, there is something indescribable about an alpine sunrise - and here, the silence only adds to it. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat.

Apple rolls out update helping travelers race through airport security
Apple has rolled out an update across nine states that's being hailed as a game-changer for travelers. Users can now add their driver's license or state ID to Apple Wallet, allowing them to breeze through airport security with just a tap of their iPhone or Apple Watch. Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Maryland, New Mexico, and Ohio have activated the feature. Other states, including Connecticut, Kentucky, Utah, and New York, have announced plans to join the Apple Wallet ID system, but full integration is still pending. To add your ID, open Apple Wallet, tap the Add button, and select Driver's License or State ID. Choose your state from the list, then follow the prompts to scan your physical ID. At Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoints that support the feature, simply tap your iPhone or Apple Watch on the reader. The system will request the necessary identity information, which you approve with Face ID or Touch ID. There's no need to unlock your phone or hand it over to anyone. The rollout of Apple's digital ID system began three years ago and has been expanding ever since. Now, the tech giant is gearing up for its next big move: digital passports. This fall, with the release of iOS 26, Apple will allow users to scan their U.S. passport into the Wallet app for use during domestic travel. It won't replace your physical passport for international trips, but it could speed up identity checks within the US, especially at airports. How to prepare your digital passport: Apple recommends scanning in bright, even lighting against a light-neutral background. Make sure to remove any accessories, like sunglasses, hats, or masks, that may block your face. Hold your phone steady, and ensure the photo is clear and sharp. After scanning, confirm your identity with Face ID or Touch ID, which links the biometric data directly to your digital ID. 'Your biometrics will be bound to the ID, so only you can use it,' Apple says. This upgrade follows Apple's earlier move to let users store their driver's license or state ID in Wallet. If users upgrade to a new iPhone, they can transfer their digital ID during the setup process, no needing to rescan or reverify. Currently, Apple's digital ID is accepted at over 250 TSA checkpoints in 11 states across 27 participating airports, including locations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, New York, Ohio, and Utah. Apple developed the system in partnership with state agencies and the TSA, with a focus on speed, privacy, and convenience. Another new feature, called 'Verify with Wallet,' will allow users to digitally prove their age, making it useful for purchases like alcohol delivery on services such as Uber Eats.
