Your reviews
Below, you’ll find a selection of reviews from our past guests.
One of the things we’re proudest of is that 40% of our guests return within two years of their first Walk About Italy tour. A few have already travelled with us six times… at this rate, we may need to invent new tours just for them!

Tuscan Slendors a walking foodie adventure
It’s really hard not to book another walking tour before finishing the first one! The food. Oh the FOOD. The views. The wine. The company. Our guide. ROBERTO! Everything was perfect and exceeded our expectations. I absolutely loved all of our lunches!! To have a chance to have what’s in season, just harvested, and to experience it all in such a beautiful place. We definitely plan to return!
Dream Italian Trip!
I could never say enough good things about this tour. From the moment we landed until the moment we left the hotel, everything was incredible. The owners Sandra and Gianni are incredible and run a great program. We had two guides, Erica for the first night and Roberto for the rest of the week. They were both so knowledgeable and helpful the entire week. We enjoyed every walk and meal the entire week. Tuscany and the areas we visited, the farms, the vineyards and shops were beautiful and run by some of the most kind, smart people we’ve ever met. I went with my husband and grandparents and it’s a trip we will be talking about for a very long time. For walkers: This is a walking tour so having good trail shoes for the hills, woods and gravel is very important! The views and architecture is stunning but you get to experience it that much more by walking. We averaged on this trip about 4-8 miles per day. We will definitely be back!!
Great memories to hold on to forever!
We really liked our guides: Roberto, Rudy and Ericka. They were informative, helpful, and patient! I, (Sue), loved the dancing that we did, even though I looked like an idiot! We also loved Matera and the history of it. Our guide for the Sassi, Brunella, was excellent. We also loved the hotel there.
Can most definitely recommend.
Roberto and Rudi were fantastic. At Times I found the walk a bit tough but they were most helpful . The meals were all so delicious , especially the vegetables and all the wine. We were a lovely group , 3 South Africans and the the rest very friendly and kind Americans. The hotels were well chosen. This was my second W about I tour and hope to do more. Thanks Gianni.
All we dreamed of !!!
I have longed to do this trip and it was all and more The tour was spectacular, guides amazing , food and wine outstanding Each day a special adventure and memories forever !!!! Thank yoy
Puglia, Pasta and Plenty of Steps
Walk about Italy’s walk in Puglia is the perfect balance of activity, culture, breathtaking scenery and scrumptious food and wine. The tours are superbly organized, groups are small and the tour guides were just fantastic. They are all extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what they do, as well as having a wonderful sense of humour. They keep everyone entertained and each of them makes a special effort to engage with every traveler in the group at some stage. We love how the tours are structured to give guests the best experiences of local culture mostly away from the busy tourist areas - from pasta making classes to dancing and singing and tasting experiences of wine and other local produce. The walks are varied in length and perfectly manageable for most levels of fitness and the pace always relaxed with plenty of rest stops to enjoy the beautiful countryside, the coastal scenery, the olive groves and the beautiful towns with their highly ornate churches. There is much of historic interest as well. The visit to Matera was certainly one of the highlights and it was certainly a treat to hear Gianni playing his flute in the incredible acoustics of one of the cave dwellings. All the accommodation was excellent in all places we stayed. We loved the country inn at Ostuni and the hotel in Matera was just next level. We have travelled several times now with Walk About Italy and we can safely say that all their tours offer the same wonderful experiences of Italy, but the Puglia trip definitely ranks as one of our favourites.
The best ever introduction to the wonder and pleasures of Italy
It is absolutely impossible to say how wonderful our walking tour with Walk About Italy was. Everything was curated and personalized. The quality of the experiences, the hikes and the guide, Lorenzo, were beyond expected. Food and wine experiences amazing. Knowledge of guide at the level of a polymath. Kindness, quality of accommodation and welcome of Italians so warm. We loved every moment and hope to do another trip next year. For reference, we are a fit very active 70 plus couple and found the level of walking to be accessible and enjoyable. Gianni and his team go above and beyond and we can't recommend them highly enough. Worth every Canadian penny!
Great way to get exercise while experiencing paradise
Cinque Terre tour was absolutely a dream. Awesome walks overlooking water many times, quaint towns, good food, and an amazing guide - everyday superb. Hassle free and lovely.
Italy done right!
We have done a few trips with Walk About Italy Tours over the years and just completed the Puglia tour in October 2025 and once again they exceeded every expectation. Gianni and his team are truly exceptional, their knowledge is incredible, and they have a way of making every tour both interesting and genuinely fun. What really stands out is how they go the extra mile for every guest. The experience feels personal and intimate, and by the end of the trip, it honestly feels like you've made friends for life.
We did the Amalfi coast walking tour start of Oct 2025, and it was mind blowing. We went as a family and joined others. Our group was fantastic, with people from all walks of life, and we all connected well. Our Guides Matteo and Erica were beyond brilliant and made our tour one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. I can not thank them enough, for sharing their knowledge, passion for their country and all the laughs. I do not know how its possible to have walked as much as we did and still felt full of of the time. We literally walked and ate for the whole week and we loved every bite and every step of it. I can not recommend this higher to anyone who likes to walk about admiring, learning, connecting, and eating. We are so grateful for the team that made this trip possible! Thank you for giving us a family adventure we will treasure for ever.
Fantastic Dolomites Tour
We just completed our fourth tour with Walk About Italy and we loved the Dolomites tour just as much as our previous tours. Roberto and Rudy are excellent guides - very informative, engaging, and simply fun to be around. My wife and I joined a group of 8 others and felt like we became friends by our first dinner together. It is one of the things I love about Gianni's tours, we have become friends with people from around the world and at the end of each tour we hate to part ways. Besides the beautiful scenery of the Dolomites, delicious food, and wonderful accommodations, I also love the detailed planning and organization of each tour. As the planner of our trips, I know that all we have to do is show up at the meeting point of the tour and the rest is taken care of - it certainly makes for a much more relaxing trip not to have to worry about logistics or the schedule of events each day. The walks are very doable so don't be intimidated by the Dolomite mountains. Gianni keeps adding tours in different parts of Italy so we will keep coming back. I guess there can be multiple trips of a lifetime!
This is the only way to experience the real Italy.
This was a bucket list item and it did not disappoint! We had a great tour with our two guides, Rudi and Gianni. Very knowledgable and full of great information all through the week. We visited great spots and off the beaten track places like a great agri-tourism farm that had the most amazing lunch with had crafted salami made by the owners father. Such a quality experience. We went to 3 lakes (Como, Maggiori and Orta), we saw castles and churches, parks and palaces, and walked all over them. This is a great way to tour and being out in the fresh air adds a nice dimension to it all. We dined in great restaurants and made good friends along the way.
Walkabout Italy, Amalfi tour
The best experience ever! I am well travelled but this took group travel to another level — seamless, excellent itinerary, well planned, super experienced guides, fantastic accommodation, too much food! Mountains, sun and sea, and so lucky as a solo traveller to be welcomed by such a diverse, stunning group of fellow travellers. Matteo and Rudi were great (and very patient 😊) and Gianni set the bar higher. So, will have to choose Walkabout Italy for the next one too! Thank you, to everyone!! See you soon.
Life changing
This was hands down one of the best things I have ever done in my life. I feel like a review won't even do it justice. Basically, if you're here reading about it, BOOK IT NOW! You won't regret it. The value for money is unreal. The guides are just wonderful. The entire experience is one I will cherish forever.
