DESTINY ITALY....WALKS

Discover the hidden beauty of these iconic regions with a series of intimate guided walks encompassing the peace & tranquility of spectacular rural landscapes & ambient ancient villages & towns. Destiny Italy tours are designed for like-minded individuals who enjoy sharing very specific travel experiences in small groups.

Our holiday escapes are perfect for those of you who have a great love of the outdoors & desire a certain degree of physical activity...however there are no difficult walks listed here! Instead, our walks are leisurely paced allowing you time to pursue your own particular interests. We have devised a selection of itineraries currently operational in the regions of Umbria, Tuscany & the Italian Lakes - Ticino (the northern region bordering Switzerland). However we will happily custom-design a specific programme for groups of friends or corporate colleagues catering for a special interest.

HOSTED or SELF-GUIDED

You may choose to be accompanied by a knowledgeable guide who is familiar with the area or, opt for a self-guided itinerary - devised by us - where accommodation and meals are organised in advance allowing you a relaxing walk between overnight stops.

PARTICIPATION

When participating in any of our self-guided walks, we advise you to carry the smallest amount of luggage as possible, in the form of a backpack containing a few clothing changes. Heavier luggage can usually be easily stored at your incoming hotel & collected on your return, after the tour is complete (*we can advise you in detail regarding this).

Good walking shoes are an absolute must & we also advise that you take out suitable travel insurance before you leave home. Serious walkers, feel free to bring along your favorite alpenstock!

*Groups consist of no more than 8 participants & this ensures a lively dynamic within the group. Indeed, many of our past guests have been delighted to have established lasting personal & business connections as a result of meeting up with people on our tours.

*We generally cover approximately at least 5km per day on foot & you have the choice to walk further if you wish. The paths we follow may feature a slight incline, the detailed itinerary will state this.

*A back-up vehicle is available at all times for those of you desiring a rest & participation is at your discretion. This vehicle will transport luggage for guests on a guided itinerary.

ACCOMMODATION

Meals will be a combination of those prepared by your hosts in cosy country kitchens & those shared together at ambient local restaurants in the villages & towns where you will have the opportunity to sample the best of local cuisine & wines.

Vegetarians will be well catered for.
