High Point Holidays and Randonnees Outre-Manche

10 years on from taking our first bookings, High Point Holidays has grown from small beginnings in the Beaujolais region of France to cover active holidays across the UK France, and elsewhere in Europe.

We specialise active holidays including hiking and cycling tripd, mainly self-guided, where travelers immerse themselves in the local way of life, through our careful choice of accommodation, location, and routes.

We remain a small family business run by brothers Mark and William. Mark manages our High Point Holidays office in the UK and William looks after our sister company, Randonnees Outre-Manche in France. This enables us to be on the ground close to our customers in both countries.

We are a truly independent tour operator; not part of a large company. The majority of our holidays are set up or created by us based on our principles, so we have full control of all aspects of the trip from the choice of the guest house and transfers to the smaller key details.

The philosophy of the company has been clear from the beginning; to provide good quality, active holidays with a commitment to personal and flexible service. We create unique walking holidays with authentic local experiences.

We are here to help you every step of the way. You can contact us always, before, during and after your holiday, to ensure your satisfaction.

High Point Holidays and Randonnees Outre-Manche is part of the following groups: United Kingdom Travel Agents, Scotland Travel Agents, Wales Travel Agents

The trip was kind of a cluster because of the COVID regulations, but some of the restaurants or destinations were closed on the day we were scheduled to see them. Our rental was a nightmare, we didn't fit in the cars and the car seat was unavailable, so we had to use a different one that was not functional that we had to makeshift into working. The tour guide/driver was just a driver. He didn't know the schedule and asked us where we were supposed to be going and seemed confused with the whole thing. He also didn't provide any information on any of the places. It was just quite odd. Otherwise, it went smoothly. Though I would suggest, if possible, Kim Kim add some sort of background audio that you could listen to on your way to the next destination so you get the background before you get there.
