Self-Guided Hiking in Tuscany

Tuscany

Personalize this tour to your travel dates and activity level

Our self-guided hike through Tuscany (a more challenging version of our popular self-guided walk in the same region) takes you on a grand tour through the Val d'Orcia, famed for its hilltowns (like Pienza, Montalcino and Montepulciano) and for its breathtaking landscapes. The full 8 day tour covers a continuous trail, with a new leg each day, setting out from the 13th C. monastery of Monte Oliveto Maggiore to finish in the hilltown of Montepulciano, some 65 miles later. You can also opt to do just a portion of the walk. Either way, we provide you with all the tools you need to help you put your spirit of adventure into action.

Tuscany

We had an absolutely fantastic time in Italy! We loved the self-guided tour and have no suggestions for improvement since everything went so smoothly. We liked all of the places we stayed and found the suggestions of various things to see in each town very helpful, and the directions for the walks were very easy to follow. It is truly one of the best vacations we've ever had! The Italian people were very friendly, and the countryside in Tuscany is spectacularly beautiful. Thanks for your help in our planning!
