Walking in Tuscany 2027

The tour also visits hilltop towns such as Volterra, noted for its Etruscan roots and alabaster workshops, and San Gimignano, where stone towers mark the skyline. Days balance walking with free time, allowing a stroll along the walls of Monteriggioni or lingering in Siena’s terracotta-hued streets. The walk in Mugello takes you through the broad Apennine valley that once formed the Medici heartland, finishing with a farm-to-table meal.

Each day offers a steady rhythm of gentle walking and local flavour, with enough breathing space to appreciate the landscape and architecture. It closes back in Pisa for the flight home, leaving little chance to rush through one of Italy’s most storied regions.
