Walking in Tuscanny

Excellent Walks, Excellent Accommodation and Excellent Leader

Most Inspirational Moment

The ascent of Montesombre & stunning views all the way to the sea-? 50Km away

Thoughts on Group Leader

She was quite wonderful and really took the trouble to get the best experience for us - checking the weather by getting up early and driving to vantage points to see what the weather was really like before setting off & adapting walks as necessary.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Do this one, don't be nervous - we had stunning views & did some scrambling - all done safely through good planning & excellent leader

Walking in Tuscany - TDT

Undoubtedly one of the most memorable Exodus trips we have had – made so primarily by the leader, Sara, the wonderful farmhouse hospitality under “Mama” and the general cohesiveness of the group which blended well.

Most Inspirational Moment

Climbing up to the highest peak of Monte Prado with two dogs!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Brilliant. Sara is an exceptional leader, well qualified in mountain craft, had researched all the walks very well (some of them were down tiny footpaths which could hardly be seen) a great hostess and a good driver!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Please join the trip - they would not be disappointed but just a word of caution - we don't think that anybody was aware of the dramatic scenery in this part of Tuscany and therefore to allow for long climbs and descents in magnificent scenery in other words potential travellers should be aware that it can be challenging, especially in wet weather. I would class it as the upper grade of "Moderate".

Fabulous

I have not been on an organised walking holiday before, really loved it!

Most Inspirational Moment

The scenery was beautiful and enjoyed the peace and quiet. I felt a great sense of achievement at the end of each day.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sara was amazing, I can't fault her.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I borrowed a walking pole and found it really useful on the descents.

Beat all my expectations

This was my first walking holiday and was a little apprehensive ,surpassed my exceptions , the walking was just as explained , looking forward to the get one

Most Inspirational Moment

The walking , meeting new friends

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent , very informative , helpful and made sure we all were having a good time

Walking in Tuscany

This was a great trip! Brilliant food, fantastic guiding, beautiful walking, a lovely place to stay and fabulous mountains to explore. I didn’t realise this part of Tuscany was so mountainous and that really surprised me. The walks were gorgeous but be prepared for 600metres or more of ascent most days, sometimes more over varied, sometimes rough terrain. The wide open views at the top though are well worth the climb up!

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking across limestone pavement and reaching the summits of some incredibly beautiful mountains. There were lots of views to die for! Being fed a three course meal each night was a real treat and they looked after me brilliantly (I'm a coeliac)

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sara our group leader was simply amazing! She had a fantastic knowledge of the area and looked after us like we were her family. She always went the extra mile in every way. We all felt like we'd known her for ages. She did so much and seemed to have endless energy which was especially good when we'd run out of ours!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Bring comfortable stiff-soled walking boots. Walking poles are useful too, especially for the descents.

Walking in Tuscany

Great food, accommodation, people, stunning area, challenging, well led walks, difficult to think of any negatives for this trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

The view of the coast from the top of the 'Dead Man's Stomach'.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Well organised and knowledgeable.

Advice for Potential Travellers

August in Tuscany can be wetter than you'd imagine, so don't stint on the waterproofs. It's also well worth making the journey to Lucca on the free day: a beautiful city.

Walking in Tuscany

A great week of walking with a good multi-national group and a great guide. There was variety in seeing something of the region and enjoying different walks. Braccicorti, our home for the week, was just that and helped us to absorb a little of Tuscan living.

Most Inspirational Moment

Probably reaching the summit of Mount Prado was the one moment I'd choose, after all it was a challenge walking week. However, there were others: the view from Mount Tambura, the successful baby wild boar rescue and finding the unusual swallowtail butterflies. Also, an enjoyable day in Lucca,

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sara - amazing! She managed the group well and made everyone feel valued. She was an interesting and special person who could be quite inspirational to listen to. Sara led the walks well, giving some freedom to go on ahead and supported where necessary. She was also able to change the itinerary with the refuge being closed due to late snow and included a couple of evening activities.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you do one of the challenge weeks, make sure you have appropriate rain gear, walking poles and boots. We all did and needed them. We were not able to use credit cards anywhere, you do need to have Euros. Read the reviews, they are always helpful.

Walking in Tuscany

Beautiful location in an unspoilt valley amongst the mountains of the Alpi Apuane and Apennines with a wide variety of walks possible to suit anyone from keen ramblers to the more adventurous. Accommodation is in a lovely farm estate with excellent home cooking, using much of their own produce, accompanied by their own most enjoyable light Sangiovese wine.

Most Inspirational Moment

The panoramic view of the mountain ranges all around from the first summit we climbed. The final day spent climbing Tuscany's highest mountain.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sara was an absolute star organising, guiding and caring for us, enabling us to achieve our aims in safety, comfort and good spirits. She was also a fount of knowledge about the area and everything we might want to do.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you like walking through woodland up to mountain ridges and enjoy beautiful scenery do not hesitate to choose this trip.

Walking in Tuscany

The Garfagnana; a green valley of Tuscan rural heaven, sandwiched between two mountain ranges; the Appennines and the Alpi Apuani. Staying at a farmhouse providing us with hearty evening meals and wine, largely from their own produce, and walking in exhilarating mountains, followed by a dip in the refreshingly cold pool on our return. Wandering about Lucca, a mediaeval town still with its walls intact, on our day off. Last but not least, the good company, the craic.

Most Inspirational Moment

Turning a corner whilst walking the ridge of Monte Prado, we came upon a small snowfield, in June! The view from a lookout point down the valley was a little piece of Via Ferrata; not for the vertigo-challenged!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Lizz was a mine of information about the area, and was a help whenever necessary, without imposing too much on the group's own chemistry; she got the mix just right. The farm's two dogs, Elvis & Dora came along for some of the walks, and their company was very much enjoyed by everyone; you always knew when Elvis had left the building!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Moderate fitness required for the trip, as some of the walks were steep, but no scrambling required. If you use poles (I don't), then should you forget your own, there are spares available. We had one or two wet interludes during the week, but nothing a waterproof jacket couldn't deal with. We met a huge (nearly 30) party of Poles of varying ages & abilities on one trip, just as the weather was breaking, and were very grateful for our group being of a much more manageable size (around 10) on what could have been a tricky, slippery descent.

Excellent walking in Tuscany

An excellent trip which I thoroughly enjoyed with first class accommodation and superb cooking by Mamma.

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the summit of Monte Sumbra which I had determined to do beforehand.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sara was absolutely wonderful. I cannot fault her. She looked after everybody and there were times when I was particularly grateful for her attitude and attention. I really cannot praise her highly enough.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take a pair of poles with you-some of the descents are particularly steep and rough.
