What We Do

Walking & Hiking

We can design tours for almost any walking level (depending on the terrain, of course!), and have tours that go from easy outings to the challenging Alpine hiking of the Dolomites mountains. The activity level on our scheduled tours is clearly defined so you know what awaits you, and it’s also possible to opt out of an activity if it’s too strenuous for someone in the group (we can easily set them up at a cafe with a glass of wine ).

Cycling & E-Biking

Some of our guides are also cyclists, and they’d be happy to show you around on two wheels. We can usually find road bikes for rent in most destinations, or try an e-bike, which allows all of the fun with a fraction of the effort (though don’t be fooled… you still have to pedal!), or you can get a simple upright “hybrid” style bicycle.

“Light Active” Tours

You don’t have to go on a “hike” to get your steps in, and sometimes a full day out in a city or exploring an archaeological site can be just as “active” as an organized walk. We’re also aware that we’re not as young as we once were, so we’re happy to offer tours that are softer on our aging bodies. So you may climb 100 meters (300 ft) to visit a Spanish castle, or wander for two hours over Ancient Greek ruins, or climb to the roof of a Medieval Cathedral to see the view. That’s still “active” in our book!

Thematic Tours

You can choose from a variety of thematic elements to design your tour around, like:

* food and wine

* art and architecture

* history and archaeological sites

* local traditions and artisans

* or… you tell us!
