Walking Tours
Ever since the Peripatetic School was founded in 335 BC, contemplation and exercise have successfully enhanced one another. MRT’s walking tours, whether along traditional pilgrimage routes or lesser-known country trails, combine intellectual and aesthetic nourishment, while the fine restaurants and hotels en route ensure physical reserves are constantly topped up too. Good for the spirit, good for the body, good for the mind: how’s that for an Aristotelian dialectic? All our small-group tours are led by expert lecturers, chosen for their companionability and communication skills as well as their scholarship.
