Italy is probably the country everyone would like to visit at least once in their life, because of its weather, culture, art history, and food. And a walking tour in the Chianti area, a few kilometers south of the landmark city of Florence, can help you really appreciate why Tuscany and Chianti are so famous abroad.
Girosole Italy Walking Tours provides you with the opportunity to have an amazing and unforgettable walking and hiking tour in Italy. All tours are booked on a request basis only. Simply put, you choose a destination you'd like to go to, tell Girosole when you'd like to go, and they set up your tour. Then, you decide if you want to open your tour to other travelers or keep it private to your own group. If you open your tour, you can take advantage of tier-priced discounts, as new travelers join your tour.
This is an all inclusive 6 day tour, and travelers can decide by themselves the category of accommodation they prefer; a full-time professional walking guide, all transfers, breakfast and dinner each day, and wine and specialty foods tastings are all included in the tour price.
Departing from Florence, your expert guide takes you on walks and hikes each day (adapted to your own ability and desire), as well as bringing you to wineries, Chianti vineyards and important archaeological sites, where it is still possible to look at Etruscan ruins.
You'll also enjoy different activities each day, from exploring medieval towns and castles, such as Volpaia and Radda, to visiting wineries and farms, where you get the opportunity to taste local food and the delicious Chianti wine, and to talk with winery owners, who are pleased to answer your questions about wine production and trading.
