When I travel overseas, I often asked myself “How safe is the place I am going to stay?” To be honest with you, I don’t feel comfortable in a luxury hotel in a big metropolis.

WalkItalyTours sees sustainable tourism as a tool to promote local economies and respect for the environment. We are proud to include tailor-made events in remote areas, such as the milking competition or bottarga tasting.
All the above is what makes WalkItaly Tours different.
