Good to know

I'm one of those people for whom the experience begins with the planning. Since I want to have as much time as possible on site, I plan and organize many things from home. I also think it's great to deal with my trip in advance. Since I only run the hiking group "The Marauders" for fun with friends and on the side and our groups are now a good size, I have to take a lot of planning time into account in advance, because a great group experience is my own requirement. This includes, for example, the planning and organization of everyone's arrival, the program, accommodation and meals. In the case of special tours, there is additional information or special packing lists. Since I've been doing this for many years, I have very good templates that I keep optimizing. Of course, I also use the internet and social media a lot.

The existing links are affiliate links / advertising. Either I get a commission for a purchase after clicking on such a link, which has no influence on your purchase price, or I got a contribution for posting the link.


Here are a few tips and apps that I really enjoy working with:


  1. Program development - brainstorming about Tripadviser or facebook groups
  2. Route planning - track recording via bikemap , on the go tour recording via Komoot
  3. special info - youtube , but also FB groups on specific topics
  4. Getting there - Rail, Car rental Enterprise (9 seater) , Cheap car rental ,
  5. flight arrival - Skyscanner (ADVANTAGE, I also get flights that are combined with different airlines and also low-cost airlines) or via our own flight database
  6. Accommodation - Airbnb, Booking.com , group accommodation
  7. special packing lists - packing list generator
  8. Catering - own Excel template


For me, these are the most important tools for developing my tours. Otherwise there are no limits to the ideas. For special areas I work together with small organizers. You can get to know some of them yourself on the active travel page.
