    FAQs

    We suggest you make the reservation as soon as possible, as soon as you have decided your travel dates, as Tuscany is an extremely popular destination, especially in the months of July and August.

    The spring season and the months of April, May and June are absolutely lovely.

    Autumn is a perfect time of year, as the landscape is formed by a palette of gold and red colours, so September and October are unmissable.

    July and August can become very hot, so we recommend that you start your walks early to avoid the heat of the day. The towns and cities you will visit are always busy, so you can take your holiday at the time you prefer best.

    We recommend the airports in Pisa, Florence or Rome. You will be able to start and end your holiday with a train journey of one or two hours.

    This tour has a moderate degree of difficulty, with daily walks of between 3 and 7 hours, so you must have an active lifestyle with a good level of physical activity.

    If you choose not to take any of the walks, you can use taxis or public transport to move to your accommodation in the next stage.
