What people love about Hiking & Trekking Tours in Italy
- Puglia and Matera Walking & Hiking Tour
My family and I had the best time on this tour. Stunning location, amazing food and the perfect atmosphere for yoga practice. Antonio took really good care of us, sharing his insightful knowledge of the area, and Susanna cooked the most delicious food for us. I will never forget her homemade vegetarian lasagna. Jairo was an incredible yoga teacher, always listening to our needs and requirements. The best yoga and cooking holiday in Italy!
- Sicily Grand Tour Walking & Hiking
The Sicily Grand Tour was wonderful, from start to finish. Caspin has curated the best places to go and experience authentic Sicily. The lodging was very nice without being touristy. The meals and restaurants were fabulous. The walks and guides were fascinating. And Pino and Antonio made sure that everything was executed flawlessly!
- Paths of the Amalfi Coast
The Hotel Due Torri is a wonderful family owned hotel. They welcomed us like family, Helped us with our daily itinerary and answered all our questions. The meals were Devine prepared by Giovani who is co owner of the hotel and an amazing Chef. Nicola, Giovani’s brother and co owner made us homemade Pizza and made sure all the guests were happy. Gerardo took care of our every need. The views of the coast from the walk were one of a kind. I highly recommend this tour if you want to take in all the sites of the Amalfi Coast and feel immersed in Italian culture.
