Next Step European Travel Departs for Destinations No Other Walking Tour Company Has Traveled to Before!

    PORTLAND, OR, March 05, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Next Step European Travel (nextstepwalks.com) has developed three walking itineraries in Europe that are completely unique in the travel industry. These tours in Croatia, Bavaria/Austria, and Northern Italy spotlight areas that may be beloved to Europeans but are widely ignored by other walking tour companies and seldom visited by Americans.

Chiavenna, Opatija, Leutasch and Plitvice National Park are but a few of the destinations in store. "We have been designing and leading trips in Europe for over 20 years now and our goal is clear: to show our travelers a side of Europe which they would never discover on their own." says Dave Johnson, founder of Next Step. "The elements are simple really: exhilarating walks through unspoiled locales, luxurious accommodations, delicious meals composed of local specialties and a taste of each region's unique vintages. Combine all of this with a small group of spirited, fun travelers and the same thing always seems to happen - MAGIC."

These unique walking experiences are seven days in length and are all-inclusive. Lodging, all meals, tips and even fine wine are all included in the price of each trip, which are as low as $2,850. Group sizes are limited to 14 participants.

All departures are owner-led by the founders of Next Step, Dave and Donna Johnson. This approach allows travelers direct contact with the people who designed each trip and want to share their inspiration. As a result 75% of Next Step's clients have either traveled with them before or come on the suggestion of a friend who has traveled with them.

Special Departure Dates & Prices in 2010:

Croatia: May 25 & September 8 - $4,350
Bavaria/Austria: July 5 - $3,350 ($2,950 if group size exceeds 8)
