    What an unforgettable experience! I won’t lie—it was physically challenging, but the reward was more than worth it. The views were absolutely breathtaking! Our guide, Agustine, was incredibly kind and patient (especially when I fell behind the group a few times). He was always calm and encouraging, truly embodying a “Buddha state of mind.” Nothing seemed to faze him—such an amazing person! My friend and I stayed at The Bediere Chalet, and all I can say is—wow. The location was stunning, and the chalet itself felt like a dream home for the week, with the most spectacular views. Our hosts, Sandro and Violetta, were just fantastic—so full of life, warmth, and humor. Their delicious cooking and cheerful, cheeky spirits made every day even more special. If you asked me right now, “Would you do this tour again?” — my answer would be a resounding yes. I walked away with such clarity of mind, a refreshed perspective on my priorities, and truly some of the best memories. If you're someone like me—often buried in work and in need of a change of pace—this experience is exactly what you need

    Francesco our tour guide was absolutely fantastic as was Franco our driver. Francesco was very interesting and informative with every aspect of the trip. If you follow the instructions everything will go as planned. The events included were beyond our expectations and the day guides were very well versed and qualified in their fields of expertise. The food and hotels are of a good standard in general.

    We had a great time on this hike. Thanks to Tourradar and Exodus. Our guide, Mattia, was very knowledgeable and patient with us. Our fellow group members were a pleasure to share the hiking experience. The itinerary was just right, from the magnificent welcome dinner, the beautiful prosecco hills and of course the prosecco wine. The final night dinner completed a great week.

    Asked on July 24th, 2024

    My sister and I wonder if you would do a short customized tour in the Apennines - about a week or so? Our father escaped from Campo 47 in Modena in 1943 and walked over the Apennines to Rome escaping the Germans and was helped by partisans and locals in the mountains along the way. What we would like to do is to get a feel for where he was - of course he and his fellow escapee kept to the ridges but we thought we would like to get as near as possible for a 73 and 71 year old. Some of the places which he skirted were Croce Arcana and Monte Cimone and of course many others in the vicinity. He mentions the iron cross which in the mist they thought at first was an anti aircraft gun! Are there little villages nearby where we could browse around or short walks ( both of us are fit). We are not luxury travelers. Two or three star is fine. We thought maybe start in Modena and then make our way down to Florence and get booked into a medium price hotel near the city centre there. From there we would be on our own. Please do help us as this has been our dream for ages. We have Dads original map given him by a local which shows the route they took and I could send it to give you an idea. We would only need to get roughly there and would be guided by any suggestions you have. We love outdoors, quaint villages and the unusual. Of course we are fascinated by the history.

      We won't be able to do a tailor-made trip, but I've attached here the trip notes for our Italian Apennines guided trip, maybe this is something Janine would consider?
