Flower Trips
We offer a number of Escorted trips with a particular focus on flowers. However, the majority of ATG trips offer spectacular displays of wildflowers if you travel at certain times of the year. This is most notable in the spring, from April through to June, when the waysides, meadows and hedgerows are packed with a rich variety of species.
Some trips are designed to pass through particularly special spots, such as the carpets of narcissi and wild tulips of the Monti Sibillini in Italy. So, whether you are looking for an expert-led flower trip or simply an independent walk through colourful alpine pastures, we have the trip for you.
