Enjoy five wonderful walking days through the idyllic mountains of Tuscany
Stay in a beautifully situated Tuscan farmhouse with a swimming pool
Opportunity to visit Lucca on the free day

Start and end in Lucca, the "Walking In Tuscany" tour is a guided trekking and hiking trip that takes 8 days. You will travel through Lucca, Lago Di Vagli, Corfino and 5 other destinations in Italy. "Walking In Tuscany" is a small group tour which includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

Garfagnana, close to the much-loved trio of Lucca, Pisa and Florence, is one of the best-kept secrets in Italy and the perfect base for guided walking holidays in Tuscany. Lying between the striking peaks of the Alpi Apuane and Apennine ranges, the astonishing Garfagnana landscape is a far cry from the rolling hills of southern Tuscany. But that provides us with abundant hiking opportunities, which, along with picturesque mountaintop and lakeside villages coupled with warm local hospitality, make for a wonderful trip.

Please note: Most departures for this trip have been graded Activity Level 3 (Moderate); however, if you’re looking to push yourself, join one of our Activity Level 5 (Challenging) departures to tackle more difficult treks and spend a night in a mountain refuge. For a day-by-day schedule for each Activity Level, see the itinerary. Please check the Dates & Prices tab to confirm the Activity Level rating for each departure before booking.
