A wonderful trip with a great group leader who went above and beyond to make sure we were all comfortable and well taken care of.
Most Inspirational Moment
Not really one moment for me. I loved the walks in beautiful Tuscany. The suppers we had together were really nice.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Jordan was amazing. He really went above and beyond to make sure we all had an amazing trip, which we did.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The number of kilometres each day was not a lot, but be ready to do up and down of hills - Tuscany is a beautiful mountainous region.

It's Not Just About the Wine
The whole week was fantastic! The walks were beautiful, the group was lovely and gelled well, the wine and food were delicious, the hotel staff was gracious and accommodating, and Jordan (our guide) made the whole experience work!
Most Inspirational Moment
Sitting around during down times or at meal times hearing other people's stories. It was great getting to know the other travelers, laughing and sharing experiences.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Jordan was brilliant! He set the tone for the whole week, making it fun and safe. He provided great routes to walk, all sorts of fascinating knowledge, and kept an eye out for the needs of each individual. His passion was evident in his respect and care for the group and the locals.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be willing to be open and engage with the other travelers. It makes a huge difference in the whole experience, even if you are doing this solo.

A fabulous week in Tuscany
The week was full of many different experiences. Despite a smaller group than usual, the walking was excellent, even though it was very hot. The wine-tastings were very different, and all informative, some with some nice nibbles included. The hotel is lovely with an excellent (ask for a room with a view) with a swimming pool and home made pizzas to die for. City-wise, we visited St Gimignano, Siena (brilliant guided tour included) and Florence. Our guide, Jordan, did a great job keeping us under control.

A wonderful trip from beginning to end!
I had a brilliant experience walking and wine tasting in Tuscany, led by our fantastic guide, Jordan. This trip has a good balance of picturesque walks, wine tasting and city days and offers a great introduction to one of Italy’s most beautiful and historic regions. Our itinerary ran seamlessly and there was never a moment where I felt it was too full-on, as we were given plenty of free time between activities. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat!
Most Inspirational Moment
Visiting Florence - a city steeped in history and culture!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Fantastic - Jordan went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our holiday.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Plan ahead for the free day. There are activities you can book through the hotel but availability can be limited.

Tuscany Walks & Chianti Wines is set in a beautiful rural location.
A very relaxed but full itinerary walking holiday. Challenging walks at times with lots to do but well balanced with down time to enjoy the surroundings and wine.
Most Inspirational Moment
It's hard to pick one moment as the scenery is beautiful. We were inspired by the views every day, the countryside, the villages, Siena and Florence. Not to mention the local wines!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Liz was amazing, it was all about the groups needs and keeping us safe, doing her utmost to ensure we had the best possible experiences. Liz's knowledge of the region was impeccable. Liz was friendly and a great part of the group.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The hotel is quite rural, be prepared for the lack of a convenient shop!

Super relaxing walking and wine in Chianti with brilliant tour leader
Brilliant tour leader, lovely group of travellers, excellent hotel, and varied mix of activities.

Thoughts on Group Leader
Roseanna was fantastic. She had a great personality and made sure everyone in the group feel relaxed. Nothing was too much trouble. She deserves 'Guide of the year' trophy if you award one.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Make sure you get Roseanna as your guide. I believe she will be running this trip next year and I might well book it again.

Fantastico!
Wow! Exodus … thank you …we had a fantastic week. The trip was truly amazing. It was a great combination of leisurely (but hot!) walking in the Tuscan countryside, cultural days in Siena and Florence and superb wine tastings. We were fortunate to share our experience with a wonderful group of people and enjoy a few evenings (and bottles!) dining on the lovely terrace of Hotel Le Renaie. The weather was superb and scenery absolutely spectacular.
Most Inspirational Moment
It was all memorable. Each day was different!
Thoughts on Group Leader
A big shout out to Ale Moreiras! Ale was a fantastic group leader. He was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic and good humoured (even when some of the group missed the train in Siena!) Ale made sure we all had a great time and looked after us! Thank you Ale!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Do this trip if you enjoy leisurely walking, some good wines and a little culture thrown in! Sadly, there were some negative reviews because the previous accommodation/meals were not so good. This has now been rectified and we loved Hotel Le Renaie and the chilled vibe. A great find Exodus!
