Guided walking tours of Italy with WalkItaly Tours

We are WalkItaly Tours

WalkItaly Tours offers guided walking tours of Italy for both mixed groups and private groups, as well as self-guided walking tours. Our tours of Campania (Amalfi Coast and Capri), Lazio, Tuscany and Sardinia combine walking on off-road paths, learning about local cultural heritage and tasting local foods.

Why these three ingredients? Italy has the highest biodiversity index and highest number of UNESCO cultural sites in the world, and – of course – it has an extraordinary variety of food and wine.

Our tour groups are kept small and are always led by WalkItalyTours staff and local guides, so you’ll be in expert hands while enjoying spectacular scenery, admiring cultural treasures or savouring local delicacies.

Memories of discovering Sagrantino wine, the frescoes at Orvieto, the Ogliastra Sea, and the mussels in Niedditas will come back to you long after your return!

WalkItaly Tours also offers rowing experiences in Rome.

Guided Walking Tours in Tuscany

WalkItaly Guided walking tours of Italy: Pitigliano in Southern Tuscany

Our walking tours in Tuscany take inspiration from the guidebook The Cities and Cemeteries of Etruria written in 1842 by George Dennis. Dennis was a typical British explorer who took detailed notes and drawings, many of which are still used as reference in the study of Etruscan culture.

Walking Tours in Sardinia

WalkItaly Tours - Guided walking tours of Italy - Sardinia

This land resembles no other place. Sardinia is something else. Enchanting spaces and distances to travel – nothing finished, nothing definitive. It is like freedom itself.
D. H. Lawrence Sea and Sardinia

Sardinia is the calmer alternative to a holiday in mainland Italy. You still have it all – sand and sea, restaurants and bars, passeggiate in historic towns – except the sand is very white, the sea very emerald and the small scale means everything is closer to hand and more relaxed. And because this is an island smack in the middle of the Mediterranean, its coastline offers plenty of sumptuous beaches, enticing coves and stretches of water where you can swim (or float) to your heart’s content.

Testimonials

Stephen and Claire

Our Self-guided Tour of Southern Tuscany

Throughout the trip the drivers and luggage handlers were prompt and efficient. The service at all accommodations stops was excellent. The room in Pitigliano was particularly good as it was right in the middle of the town and close to the Jewish quarter. Both of our guides were knowledgeable and the tours they ran were fun and informative. The scenery and history throughout were unforgettable.

Roberto was helpful and efficient and made sure we were fully informed and safe throughout the walk.

Brett & Family

Six-Day Guided Tour of Southern Tuscany

This is a great adventure the whole family can enjoy. Roberto was very knowledgeable and my kids had a great time with the hike and all the caves. The experience was just as described in his website and exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend this tour when in Tuscany. It was nice to get away from the crowds as we were the only few on these paths.

Paola and Jean-Yves

Roberto led us to discover the islands of Capraia, Elba and recently Sardinia, each time far from clichés and traditional tourist approaches. His sense of organization and guidance always reassures, his taste for culture and his way of sharing have always motivated us. Walking with Roberto is entertaining, rewarding, never obvious and his sense of empathy makes it never tiring.

Federica and Riccardo

The first trip we made with Roberto was on the Via Francigena, a beautiful experience, discovering typical landscapes, walking along hills that open up under villages that still retain their medieval appearance. Everything has been organized with skill and professionalism, both the restaurants and the accommodation, always characteristic and welcoming. Since then we have always remained in contact and, to that, other treks followed, last in the Ogliastra, wild area of Sardinia, where sea and coast surprise you at every corner with their enchanted views. An experience to be recommended … and to be repeated!
