Walking Tours
The most intimate way to explore Italy. Stroll down country lanes and see why travellers have walked these roads throughout the centuries. In Tuscany, hike past vineyards, olive groves, stone farmhouses, and quaint medieval villages. Or head to the coast and explore the seacliffs and fishing villages of the Amalfi Coast, Cinque Terre, or Sicily. Morning walks are 3-4 hours (7-12 miles). In the afternoon, van shuttle to the vineyards.
