WALKING IN TUSCANY

A fantastic week.  Good company, great scenery, an inspirational guide, too much lovely food … and a real Italian family welcome. 

Most Inspirational Moment

I really enjoyed the walks through some beautiful beach forest, then out on the more exposed slopes to the top of Monte Sumbra, say.   The stunning views from other peaks.  The village-village walk.  The time to relax in/by the pool at the end of each walk.  The tea and biscuits/beer from the fridge upon return from a day's trekking.  Pottering around in Lucca, soaking up the atmosphere (enjoying a nice long lunch) and on the last day in Pisa before the late evening flight home (we had 2 free days really).  And of course, Mamma.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Alejandro is an excellent leader/guide. He is really well organised; he communicated information really efficently and was encouraging every step of the way.  He went out of his way to assist with options on the free day, (e.g. bought and fetched rail tickets for the group), and thus enabled me to manage both visits to Lucca and Pisa later in the week - without missing out any of the scheduled walks.  Always sociable and helpful I really enjoyed his company and wish him luck.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just book it and have a great week.

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking up hill and seeing the amazing views. Making it up the mountains despite the heat and the aching legs.

Thoughts on Group Leader

The group leader was excellent. Approachable, knowledgable and dedicated.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I din't realise there is so much climbing and descending. I would recommend walking sticks.

WALKING IN TUSCANY

The whole holiday came up to expectations. Our guide Sara couldn’t have done more for us and adapted our walking to suit the weather per4fectly. The accommodation was comfortable and welcoming and their food delicious. The walking was challenging for me but achievable and worth the effort. Having the company of Elvis the dog on some walks was an added bonus.

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking the ridges on the last couple of days was lovely, the sun had appeared and it was great having constant wonderful vistas and knowing that I could manage the terrain.

Thoughts on Group Leader

I couldn't fault Sara. She was thoughtful, competent, efficient and caring.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Go.

We went on the ‘C’ grade week. It was a wonderful holiday amid spectacular scenery. The accommodation and food were excellent and the organisation faultless.

Most Inspirational Moment

Just sitting at the top of a mountain and seeing nothing but more mountains in every direction!

Our group leader organised everything with great efficiency and nothing was too much trouble. She was friendly, helpful, very encouraging and her knowledge of the area was extremely good.

Most Inspirational Moment

Managing to walk up a mountain with a sprained ankle and twisted knee, and then back down again!

Sara is wonderful- lovely girl, always genuine, supportive and funny

Advice for Potential Travellers

Try to get in some steep walks before going- bring walking poles (they do help) and ensure your jacket is waterproof not shower proof

WALKING IN TUSCANY

Great holiday made even better by a great leader – Sarah Bull.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sarah exceeded expectations. I damaged my hip shortly before leaving for this walking holiday so I expected to spend my time by the pool drinking gin and tonics. Thanks to Sarah showing me some shorter walks I was able to join in with the group, on some occassions, without spoiling their walking enjoyment. 

WALKING IN TUSCANY

What a lovely place. Great views, lovely people, mamma’s cooking was excellent.

Most Inspirational Moment

The whole trip was fantastic.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sara was a great group leader. Very knowledgeable, always there help if needed. Thanks Sara for making this a great.holiday.

WALKING IN TUSCANY

Simply one of the most enjoyable trips I have been on. A stunning part of the world see through well planned treks, fantastic accommodation with Italian home cooking at its best!

Most Inspirational Moment

Being on top of Mt Prado, with the most stunning views imaginable sharing a fantastic picnic lunch. But every day was different, each trek having its own personality. I wouldn't have wanted anything to have been done differently.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sara Bull is the best leader I have had on a trip. She knows the region very well and her enthusiasm for the Garfgnana is genuine and infectious. She was very attentive to all of the group members' needs and requests without being intrusive. She was also very good company.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just book it!

WALKING IN TUSCANY

A truly relaxing break in beautiful countryside with Italian home cooking.

Most Inspirational Moment

The fabulous views over the mountains, the meadows full of flowers and the nuthatches and redstarts chirruping in the vineyard outside the bedroom window.Sitting in small cafes overlooking Tuscan villages scoffing pistachio gelati.. (or chestnut beer).Rocky ascent to Monte Sumbro and picnic at the top looking down at the mountains poking through the clouds.Cycling the medieval walls of Lucca on a tandem. Propping up the cathedral belfry in Pisa (the leaning tower!)  

Thoughts on Group Leader

Truly exceptional. Sara did a lot of little extras to make it easy and enjoyable for us--sorted laundry, wet boots, bought train tickets, provided individual annotated maps, catered for dietary likes and dislikes, provided a constant supply of chocolate biscuits. She was extremely well organized and very generous with her time and effort.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you like walking and good food, don't hesitate, book it. It is not rolling meadows though, be prepared for a little effort. Also, mountain weather is always unpredictable, so even in summer, waterproofs are a must.
