Rome Trekking and Hiking Tours 2024/2025

“It was an amazing trip. A little more difficult than I anticipated but still manageable. The SloWays app was a great resource (don't forget to download the maps the night before while on wifi - it will help with your phone's battery life).”

“Walking the Via Francegena is more than a journey, it's a long reflective ramble through the quiet Italian countryside. On the Orvieto to Rome stage, I walked alone (self-guided) and saw maybe a dozen other walkers, and a few groups of mountain bikers. So it's very quiet and if you are a spiritual or reflective person, I recommend this trip. I passed through sublime peaceful woodlands and forests, skirted fields and olive groves, and each night stayed in traditional old Italian towns. Hardly a tourist to be seen, what bliss! Along the way, I saw numerous old hurches and some Roman roads and buildings. Also, there were information boards about the Via Francegena and the important role it played throughout the centuries socially and economically. The trail is quiet well marked, and the tour company's notes and phone ap are excellent. Accommodation was really good and most nights I stayed in an atmospheric hotel or Agritourismo in great locations. I had two full days of rain but this trip is so interesting it wasn't a problem. If you want to see the real Italy away from the tourist hordes, and walk through delightful vistas all day, this is the trip for you. This tour operator makes it very easy, this was my fourth walking trip with them.”

“The Full St Francis Way trip with this tour operator was yet another fabulous experience for me. Everything went like clockwork and when it didn't it was entirely my own fault! Got lost one day and had to be plucked out of my predicament by the tour company's representatives in Italy, and it was done with great efficiency and no dramas! A wonderful month of walking in beautiful Italy to add to my two earlier experiences with this tour operator on the Via Francigena from Gran San Bernardo Pass to Rome. Highly recommended.”
