To walk like an Italian means to hike, to stroll and to savour the great outdoors, and to combine those walks with the best in local cuisine. To walk like an Italian means beautiful trails, character accommodations and unforgettable food experiences. It means to travel as the locals do, to places recommended by trusted friends, not just guide-books and websites. The 10-day guided tour spends time in five places - all are unmistakably Italian yet each is remarkably different from the others. Each day there are different walks to choose from, ranging from gentle strolls to challenging hikes. The 5-day un-guided tours each focus on two neighbouring areas, maximising the experience while minimising the travel time. Detailed maps and trail notes will guide you along country lanes and wilderness pathways, through villages, vineyards, towns and National Parks. These notes were written and are updated each year by Tamarillo's directors Marina Mantovani (from Italy) and Anthony Norris (from New Zealand). Each tour is specifically designed to highlight the culinary, cultural and environmental aspects unique to each place. All the accommodations have been tested and selected by Tamarillo's directors. Each small hotel, private apartment and back-country inn is chosen for it's location, character and quality. All rooms have private bathrooms, with lower-cost options and upgrades available. Italy is renowned for iconic landscapes, cuisine, art and architecture. Tamarillo's Walk like an Italian tours highlight each of these aspects, plus: -detailed notes on the best walks and hikes in each area; -advice on local museums, galleries, churches and other places of interest; -boutique accommodations, each personally tested and selected; -recommended local eateries, wineries and other culinary experiences; -opportunities to meet and interact with local people; -the flexibility to stop for special events as they happen: festivals, concerts, exhibitions, markets, etc.
