Experience a walking tour in Tuscany and the Italian Riviera that permits you to slow down and savor the exquisite tranquility of quaint hill towns that many  miss.  We’ll use Florence, Montalcino, Colle di Val d’Elsa and Sestri Levante as our home bases as we make our gentle progress through such towns as San Gimignano and Lucca in Tuscany to the tiny cliffside villages of the Cinque Terre.

Each day we’ll walk between three and six miles as we sample the vintages and delectable cuisines of Northern Italy.  With expert guides, wine with all dinners and transportation for those choosing to rest between destinations, the Italian Walks tour is bound to surpass a variety of expectations. The scenery will be inexpressively lovely, cuisine exquisite and exercise invigorating.  Enjoy the fellowship of fellow Duke Alumni as we come to know the subtle flavors of this beloved region of Italy.
