Walking is the best way to truly connect with the Tuscan landscape: rolling hills shaped by vineyards and olive groves, timeless villages, castles and abbeys that tell centuries of history.

Our guided trekking experiences are designed to combine nature, culture and a slow pace, along well-marked and scenic trails, perfect for those who enjoy discovering the territory step by step.
