My time in Italy with G Adventures was fantastic and a trip of a lifetime! The CEO Babi, driver Mauro and local guides made the experience a trip I won't forget. I thoroughly enjoyed the hikes in the countryside, the visits to the wineries and the food was amazing at every location! I look forward to returning to Italy with G Adventures.

I think a lot of work needs to go into the tour description. More detail as to where the hikes are going, and what we will be seeing on them The physical requirements to enjoy the hikes needs to be emphasized. At least one member of out tour could not complete any of them. Had the descriptions been better they may have made a different choice. Proper vetting of accommodations should be done. The joining hotel in Florence was not at the G Adventure standards. THe two days in Florence were very expensive. We paid $2700 for two days. From what we gathered this was much more than others had paid to join the tour for the Florence part of the tour. Granted we didn't read the fine print, but were lead to believe (again from the published tour information) that the two days would be in the country side not in Florence, in sub standard accommodations.

The Geluxe trip to Italy was wonderful, and as always, the GA experiences are what make the trip memorable. I will never forget our picnic in the vineyard, the cooking class at the winery, and the Vespa tour in Rome! All exceptional experiences. I also give a lot of credit to our CEO, who, as in every GA trip I've taken, has been the heart of the journey. They are your most valuable asset.

Classic Amalfi Coast - 11 Days

Self guided walk following the ‘Footpath of the Gods’ with time in Sorrento and the Isle of Capri. Take a spring, early summer or autumn walk along Italy’s stunning Amalfi Coast and in the Mezzogiorno –“The land of the midday sun”. On a self-guided hiking holiday, discover a land where the mountains, marquis pastures, lemon groves, vineyards and villages meet the sea. A place where you could be strolling on a rugged trail for one moment and then in the next be winding down through a citrus grove, then walk through a pleasant village towards the blue waters of the Mediterranean, gelati in hand. There is so much history, the Greeks settled here in the 8th century B.C. and looking down you can almost imagine the Argonauts rowing by enroute to tackle some Titan. The Romans came next, building villas around Positano and on Capri. Witness for yourself the destruction caused by the eruption of Mt Vesuvius in Pompeii (79 AD) on a day trip from Sorrento. In the early mediaeval period Amalfi became a major maritime city state claiming to have invented the compass and some aspects of parchment manufacture. Today, the town remains much as it was with narrow lanes and St. Andrew’s Cathedral dominating the scene. You walk through this spectacular region using the extensive web of footpaths and mule tracks that thread along the cliffs. A wealth of natural and cultural treasures can be reached relatively easily. On a series of self-guided walks, pass close to beautiful monasteries, caves and ancient farmhouses, visit nature reserves and ruins of paper mills, whilst enjoying spectacular views during all the walks. You'll also walk through the historic towns of Amalfi, Atrani, Ravello, Scala Praiano and Positano - all little pearls set in a fantastic landscape. Finish your Amalfi Coast walking holiday with walks on the Land’s End of the Sorrentine Peninsula, the marine nature reserve of Punta Campanella, and on the famous island of Capri. *You can also opt for shortened 6 & 8-day versions of this Amalfi Coast walking holiday.

Gastronomic Barolo Walk

On this self-guided, hotel-to-hotel walking holiday, you'll explore the beautifully tranquil Langhe region of Piedmont, a gastronomic gem quietly tucked into Italy's north-western corner.

Your route starts and ends in Benevello, nestling in the hazelnut-clad Alta Langa hills, from where you follow the limpid Tanaro River before climbing through a string of hamlets to your hotel in Fontanafredda, a renowned wine estate that was once owned by the first king of Italy! It's then on to La Morra, an atmospheric wine village known as the balcony of the Langhe for its stunning panorama over the surrounding rolling landscape.

This rich and fertile land produces some of Italy's finest food and wine, from robust Barolo and sweet Moscato to aromatic white truffles (exclusive to Alba), crunchy hazelnuts and tangy cheeses. This is all complemented by our carefully picked hotels, often with pools, and full of character and contrasts, from a gorgeous wine estate that was once owned by Italian royalty in Fontanafredda, to a beautifully restored 19th century family villa, complete with its own converted chapel and superb restaurant in Benevello.
