Packed into 4 days was a wonderful trip that captured the essence of ancient Greece outside of Athens. Being able to see the site of the first Olympics and to learn about the Oracle at Delphi were highlights!
Discover the Tuscan countryside and culture on this 8-day self-guided walking tour. Through the extensive footpath network of the area, roughly following the traces of the Via Francigena, one of Europe’s most important ‘highways’ in medieval times, you walk from village to village and experience a full immersion in the world-famous Tuscan landscape. The tour is perfect as an introduction to the region and a great choice for people who love museums, galleries and Gothic and Romanesque architecture. You have plenty of time to visit attractions on most of the days.
You will also have time to visit all the beautiful medieval villages and historic towns along the Via Francigena: starting from beautiful Lucca, you’ll pass through Fucecchio, San Miniato, Gambassi Terme, the stunning San Gimignano with its medieval skyscrapers and Monteriggioni, admired by Dante in his Divine Comedy. An optional detour can bring you to beautiful Colle Val d’Elsa and the tour ends in Siena, arguably the most perfectly preserved medieval town in Tuscany. This tour threads together some of the most attractive towns and villages in Tuscany in an eloquent procession.
However, the emphasis of the tour is to enjoy the countryside, the rolling vineyards, the poppies in spring and the wild cyclamen in autumn. The area north of Siena is an amazing landscape of rolling hills, alternating vineyards and forests, while cypresses line the way leading to the distant farmhouses. Walking here is an unforgettable experience and many of the views have barely changed for hundreds of years.
Accommodation and some meals are included. You spend a night in one of the best agriturismos in Tuscany, and the final night in the heart of Siena, in one of the most characteristic little hotels.
This is a moderately easy tour which is suitable for those who have some experience of walking and a good general physical condition.

The trip was very nice but the somewhere the buses did not have enough space for luggage.At few places the guide did not accompany us and we had a problem travelling on our own like we had to hire costly taxi.Overall the trip was nice but there are many areas for europamundo to improve.
Matheus was a great guide and we feel so fortunate to have him during our trip He encouraged and incentivized everyone to be on time, in a respectful way, and to my surprise everyone was despite the big group. His English skills were good and we had no problem understanding him.
The trip was great. It was hot at times and on somedays the number of activities was high. But, overall it was very professional. The ERGIF hotel was exceptional. Carmen as a tour guide was fantastic.
I loved the whole trip and how neatly it has been organized without any obstructions. Our tour guides Mr. Ajith Singh, Javier and Rakel did a pretty good job providing proper guidance and information throughout the trip. Overall it was a memorable and enjoyable trip.
