If you think you’ve “done” Italy, think again. This trip takes you beyond the crowds to the rolling Prosecco Hills (a part of Italy I had never even heard of before coming to work at Exodus!), charming villages, family-run wineries, and hidden corners of Venice that most visitors never see. It’s the perfect blend of active exploration, incredible food and wine, and authentic local experiences.
We’re in the pre-Alps, so there are definitely some inclines and declines and uneven terrain, so make sure to save those Aperol spritzes for AFTER the hikes 🙂

Mattia was lovely!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Bring comfortable walking/hiking shoes, a camera, a reusable water bottle, sunscreen and a hat, but leave extra room in your bag to bring home some Prosecco!
The holiday worked as a complete package – flights, tour design, location and tour leader. The parts made a successful whole.

Michele made the trip a great success. He gave us lots of helpful information and looked after us. His enthusiasm was infectious. He also made time to look after the needs of all the individuals on the trip.
This is the second time I have done Walking the Prosecco hills. The first time was 8 years ago in the autumn and I always promised myself I would go back in the spring/summer. It was just amazing seeing all the spring flowers in the hills, plus now it includes a trip to Venice for the day, which was very special.

The variety of the walks in the hills with Michele. The guide in Venice was excellent and Michele made the rest of the Venice visit really brilliant. Michele brought everyone together so the camaraderie was lovely.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Michele was excellent and one of the reasons the holiday was so enjoyable. He set up a WhatsApp group, considered everyone and their abilities on the walks. His efforts to ensure our free day was able to be changed due to the local industrial action was exceptional. He kept in touch with us even though it was really his day off! He was very attentive.
Our guide Mattia Mandelli was absolutely fantastic! So pleasant and he went out of his way to ensure everyone’s needs were met. He paid attention to every little detail to ensure we all had the best experience possible.This trip offered the right amount of walking/hiking paired with personal time to explore Venice and nearby towns like Treviso. And of course Mattia made sure we had the information we needed to explore based on our own or group interests. He is the best!!

Mattia was an excellent leader. He coped very well with a group of 8 females and the personalities within the group! He was very relaxed, observant, sociable, understanding, helpful, diligent, reliable all with a good sense of humour. He led the group very well
Good balance between the number of walking days and opportunities spent visiting a couple of local cities.
