Lucca Tours and Trips

Just back from hiking in Northern Tuscany's little known Garfagnana region. Varied walks and terrain with incredible views and a great sense of satisfaction. Really enjoyed the company of our group, the lovely views, pool and family welcome from our comfortable argriturismo and trying lots of traditional Italian food.

We have had many trips with Exodus over the years and I can honestly say this ranks as one of the best. The location at Agriturismo Braccicort was superb, with wonderful grounds, sustainable farming, good food provided by the lovely Italian family and rooms with views. The area is truly a best kept secret as we saw very few other walkers and yet we were amongst wonderful mountains with amazing views stretching for miles. Great bird life and loads of fabulous wild flowers.

We were a group of 14 ladies between the ages of 35 and 60 and we absolutely loved our walk and stay in the different authentic and historic villages. The information provided was excellent and the accommodation well organized, comfortable and mostly charming. A fantastic way to visit this beautiful part of the world. One downside which they need to address: the lack of transparency on the part of the luggage carriers in Italy. Other than that little warming to fellow walkers, I cannot recommend this trip enough.

They were excellent in helping me to tailor a walking trip on the Via Francigena for me and 12 friends. It was a trip of a lifetime that was excellently documented with excellent accommodation choices and supported throughout.

We had a fantastic time on the Via Francigena! The accommodations for the most part were great, and the luggage portaging was completely seamless. The maps were good although the route is quite well marked.

Fantastic trip with a good variety of walks. The Garfagnana area truly is one of Italy's best kept secrets - a lot of the time it felt like you had the whole place to yourself! The whole area is absolutely stunning.
