Follow old trails through ancient hamlets and past impressive castles on the Francigena Way, the Italian Camino, between Ivrea and Pavia. From Canterbury in England to Rome in Italy, the 1900km "Francigena Way" dates back to the 11th century when pilgrims travelled across Europe on foot to visit the site of Martyrdom of St Peter and St Paul in Rome. With the modernisation of Europe and the shifting of borders the route became obsolete, until a recent revival of the pilgrimage making it one of the most exciting pilgrimage trails in Europe today. This section travels through the plains of Piedmont. From March to May the rice fields are flooded and treat you to a wonderful view of the "chequered sea". At other times of the year you will spot herons and egrets. The trail continues into the Lombardy region before ending in Pavia. Here you can enjoy the artistic wealth of Pavia's old town, while reveling in the vivacity of the student quarters.

Escape the crowds with remote mountain walking exploring northern Tuscany. The Apuane Alps are a remote area of northern Tuscany - a world away from the towns and rolling hills of the south. There are few other walkers and the villagers make you feel truly welcome. This walk has many attractive ingredients, from wide mountain vistas, to remote hamlets surrounded by forest and mountain scenery. From the small unassuming town of Fornaci di Barga you'll enter the Apuane forests, climbing up through chestnut woods and dropping down through vineyards to the ancient village of Verni, home to an impressive series of limestone massifs rising up to 2000m. The Apuanes are famous for their scenery of white marble towers, abysses and the largest cave system in Italy. During the walk you'll explore remote chapels, climb Monte Forato (1223m) and visit the 'Grotta del Vento' with its subterranean lakes. You'll also have the option to ascend Pania della Croce (1860m) before visiting the hermitage at Calomini.
NB : On this tour there is a maximum of 2 single rooms available.

Great scenic walking with demanding ascents and descents but comfortably within the capability of a walker used to the Fells. The organisation was excellent and everything worked seamlessly. The hotels were all good although the quality of the restaurants in the villages was mixed with good and bad experiences from what was recommended. A great week.

7 days was well worth the extra time to the long weekend. Amazing local guides, varied scenery and excellent food for a camping trip. the 7 days gave time acclimatise to the heat, to practice getting up at 0600 and to get used to camping. Plus the tour of Marrakesh on the last day was a nice end to the trip.

The trip was well run and our guide was excellent. The walks were more challenging than we thought they would be. The itinerary suggests that some are leisurely hikes - not so! It also suggests that on one of the days we walk on a pebbled path- not so! We actually climbed over huge rocks on a steep ledge with a sheer drop to the right. It was more challenging than the itinerary suggests. However the trip was brilliant as we had total faith in our guide. Perhaps you could give clearer explanations .

They organised my trip to France to walk the GR70 Stevenson's Way, which I completed in August. I booked 9 months in advance, which I recommend to ensure availability of accommodation in some remote areas of France.
Communication with the team was excellent and the staff were very helpful.
About two weeks before departure I received a pre-trip information pack. I was pleasantly surprised by the depth and quality of the information provided which included details of accommodation, baggage transfers and a detailed day by day route guide. All this was available to print and save to my phone.
Another great feature was gpx files for use with free app. This proved surprisingly easy to use and the voice guidance and audible off-route warnings were particularly helpful.
The trip itself was extremely well organised. I enjoyed the variety of food and accommodation and experienced only one check-in problem which they quickly resolved after I called their emergency contact number.
I had a great trip and would highly recommend this company if you are planning a walking trip.
