Hilltop Towns of Italy

We had a spectacular trip. We did a self-guided trip in Piemonte and Tuscany/Umbria. The hotels were much nicer than we expected. Very comfortable and the owners/proprietors were so helpful. The transfer of luggage each day was seamless! The routes were generally well marked and the app was very good. We didn't need anything more than the app. Only got lost twice which I'd say is pretty good. The routes were a bit more challenging than we expected. We choose two hikes which were marked as 'Introductory - Moderate' which were tougher than we expected. So just pay attention to this. At home, we would consider ourselves quite capable of moderate+ trails, but the classification in Italy is a bit more demanding. Glad we wore hiking pants as we went through a lot of grasses so never had a concern about tics. Also were very happy we had hiking sticks with us. Invaluable on many of the trails. I would definitely recommend them to anyone considering a hiking trip. And absolutely no problem doing the self-guided version. Thank you!! Griffy and Marg

The scenery you walk through was delightful in late spring - lush and green. Much of it sheltered from too much sunshine by trees. The villages were fantastic, mostly pretty quiet and accommodation was very good - great breakfasts!

Fabulous walk through diverse countryside and towns. Loved it!

A nice trip with excellent hotels and amazing small towns. Some of the walks were not as exciting as I’d hoped but exploring the Vie Cave systems was interesting,
