What kind of tours do you offer?
We offer small-group walking tours through the most beautiful regions of Italy: Tuscany, Amalfi Coast, Sicily, Cinque Terre, Umbria & Secret Tuscany, the Dolomites, the Italian Lakes, and Puglia & Matera . Each tour includes daily hikes, cultural experiences, family-run accommodations, and delicious regional food.

How many people are in each group?
Our groups are small and friendly—usually between 6 and 12 people, never more than 18. We believe this keeps the experience personal and intimate.
What level of fitness is required?
You don’t need to be an athlete, but a moderate level of fitness is necessary. We walk between 4 and 10 km (2.5 to 6 miles) per day. Trails may be uneven or hilly, but we take plenty of breaks and go at a comfortable pace.
What is your easiest tour in terms of walking distance?
Our Italian Lakes tour is the most relaxed when it comes to mileage. The walks are shorter and gentler, making it perfect if you’re looking for a beautiful experience without too much physical effort.
And which one is the most challenging?
That would be our Italian Alps & Dolomites tour. But don’t worry—it’s still absolutely doable! You won’t be trekking up for 4 hours and sliding down for 3. While some walks are longer, elevation gain is gradual and there are no tricky heights to worry about. Just breathtaking views and a great sense of accomplishment.
What’s included in the tour price?
All accommodations (in charming, mostly family-run hotels)
Most meals (see each tour page for details)

Tips for guides and drivers
Can I come alone?
Yes! Many of our guests travel solo. You can choose to share a room (we’ll match you with a same-gender roommate if available), or pay a single supplement for your own private room.
How do I book a tour?
Just go to the “Book Your Tour” section on our website, choose your destination and date, and follow the booking process. A deposit of €300 per person is required to confirm your spot.
What’s your cancellation policy?
We have a clear cancellation policy to protect both you and us. You can read all the details here (or we’ll email it to you). We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance that covers cancellations, medical emergencies, and more.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Of course! Vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan — we’re used to it, and Italy has fantastic food for all diets. Just let us know in advance.
How do I get to the starting point of the tour?
We’ll give you detailed instructions based on your tour. Most starting points are well connected by train. And don’t worry—we’re always here to help you plan your arrival.
Can I combine two tours?
Absolutely! Many guests combine two tours back-to-back, like Tuscany + Amalfi or Sicily + Cinque Terre. You’ll even receive a €100 discount per tour when you do so!
Is Walk About Italy a licensed travel agency?
Yes, we are a fully licensed and insured tour operator, with all the official authorizations required by Italian law. Plus, we’re a real family-run business that puts heart and soul into what we do.
Who are your guides?
Our guides are passionate Italians who love their region, their food, their traditions—and they love sharing it with you. Some of them are also trained in forest therapy, archaeology, or geology. You’ll be in excellent hands.
What should I pack?
We’ll send you a full packing list before your tour. But think comfortable walking shoes, layers, and a sense of adventure!
