Imagine yourself surrounded by the most beautiful Mediterranean landscapes, where turquoise waters lap golden coastlines fringed by charming villages. Both Cinque Terre and Amalfi Coast offer unforgettable Italian experiences. Cinque Terre (meaning ‘five lands’) is made up of five colorful towns, connected by scenic hiking trails. Our Italy guided tours take you on an immersive hiking adventure through the olive groves of Cinque Terre National Park, along scenic coastal trails on Palmaria island and among ancient forests in Mount Portofinla Natural Park.

The Amalfi Coast gives way to the cliffside towns of Positano and Amalfi and is drenched in centuries of history. While our Cinque Terre tours offer exhilarating trekking adventures among nature, the Amalfi Coast takes you on a cultural journey through vibrant towns and villages sprinkled with impressive architecture and archaeological wonders.

Our tours are designed to be accessible for most active travelers, but we assign an Activity Level to every trip to help you choose your perfect adventure based on your ability and preferences.

In Italy most trips are rated between Easy and Moderate, although several more challenging departures can be found in the Dolomites.

Travelers with a reasonable level of fitness can enjoy our hiking vacations, but if you’re not a regular hiker it’s recommended to start with a Level 1 or 2.

If you prefer to opt out of an activity, your Tour Leader can suggest alternatives.

Our Italy cycling vacations are best suited to confident cyclists with good fitness and experience of longer rides.

If you’re unsure which trip matches your fitness level, speak to our team of experts who can help you choose the right itinerary.

Italy is generally considered a safe destination to travel in. However, like any destination, it’s essential to exercise caution and be aware of your surroundings. During the trip your guide provides safety tips for activities, free time, and local etiquette, helping you feel confident throughout.
