What people love about Hiking & Trekking Tours in Italy
- Paths of the Amalfi Coast
The Hotel Due Torri is a wonderful family owned hotel. They welcomed us like family, Helped us with our daily itinerary and answered all our questions. The meals were Devine prepared by Giovani who is co owner of the hotel and an amazing Chef. Nicola, Giovani’s brother and co owner made us homemade Pizza and made sure all the guests were happy. Gerardo took care of our every need. The views of the coast from the walk were one of a kind. I highly recommend this tour if you want to take in all the sites of the Amalfi Coast and feel immersed in Italian culture.
- Walking in Tuscany
Wonderful tour. Tracks were varied in condition and terrain, so lots of interesting walking. Sarah was very friendly, supportive and encouraging. She varied the itinerary when the weather conditions dictated a change. The alternatives were excellent and appreciated by all our group. Our accommodation was very comfortable. The food was great local dishes and the family very friendly. I am keen to join another Exodus walking tour because l loved this tour. We
- Tuscany Walks & Chianti Wines
Almost everything was very good or excellent. In particular: (1) Our guide Liz (superb - went way beyond our expectations), (2) The group & group dynamic, (3) two of the three main walks, (4) Sienna trip, (5) the evening meals, greatly enhanced by the group dynamic. For us, there were a few drawbacks: (1) early starts, (2) the days were too long with too much crammed in, (3) too much bus time! We enjoy our walks and are used to 16k plus hikes but with plenty of free time. We really enjoyed the experience but will probably look for something with more downtime (and less bus time) in future. Thanks to Liz and Exodus for everything .

When is the best time to go hiking in Italy?
Peak hiking conditions vary across Italy's diverse regions. Late spring through early fall (April to October) proves ideal for the Amalfi Coast with September offering clear skies and mild temperatures perfect for the Path of Gods trail. The Alpine paths of South Tyrol welcome hikers from May through September when snow has cleared and weather is reliable. Puglia's trails remain accessible year-round but visitors find the most comfortable conditions during spring (March-May) and autumn (September-October). As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "May is a good time to go to Puglia as it's not too hot and the wildflowers are beautiful."
What type of accommodation can I expect on Italian hiking tours?
Italian hiking accommodations blend comfort with local character. Along the Amalfi Coast the Hotel Due Torri provides a swimming pool and regional Campanian dishes in Bomerano. Mountain lodgings like Hotel am Reschensee in South Tyrol put you close to the trails with panoramic views. In Matera travelers can sleep in converted limestone caves at places like Hotel Sassi. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "The hotel Due Torri was a comfortable haven to return to each day and the food was excellent."
