💫 Meet Chiara – the ultimate energy boost for your Tuscan mornings! 💫

Ever met someone who radiates so much enthusiasm that you can’t help but feel energized? That’s Chiara. Every morning on our Tuscan Splendors tour, she greets the group with a contagious smile, boundless energy, and just the right amount of Italian charm. 🇮🇹✨

But Chiara isn’t just an incredible guide—she’s also a farmer. Years ago, she dreamed of providing healthy, homegrown food for her family. Today, she runs her own farm, producing top-quality olive oil and fresh vegetables. And trust us, you can taste her passion. 🫒🍅

Her deep connection to the land isn’t just something she talks about—it’s something she lives. So when she leads you through the rolling hills of Tuscany, you’re not just walking… you’re stepping into her world. 🌿

Ready to explore Tuscany with Chiara? She’s been guiding with Walk About Italy for years, and once you meet her, you’ll understand why our guests adore her. 💛

This beautiful couple from Canada has been on 3 of our 7 trips. The question is: when do you stop calling them "clients" and start with "friends". I think we are there already. Grazie mille for trusting us!

🔥 Italians do it better! 🔥

There’s an art to cooking pasta, and this Italian chef is proving it right before our eyes! No overcooked noodles, no watery disasters—just the perfect al dente goodness. Draining pasta is a serious business here, and trust me, she knows exactly what she’s doing.

And guess what? She’ll be your pasta instructor during our cooking class on the Tuscan Splendors tour! Get ready to roll up your sleeves, master the secrets of homemade pasta, and, of course, taste the delicious results. 🍝✨

Would you trust yourself to handle this, or would you end up with half the spaghetti in the sink? 😅

You might be wondering, what are these little wooden sticks, and why on earth are we putting our feet in them? Well, this is a perfect example of how our tours uncover the hidden gems of a region!

Here we are at Bergila, a family-run producer of essential oils distilled from trees and plants of the Italian Alps and Dolomites. The visit to their workshop is a fascinating experience—one that, let’s be honest, the ladies in the group tend to love the most! 😉

Tonight I had pizza in a neapolitan style pizzeria. It feels like I am already in Amalfi. I think I want to go. The area produces the ONE AND ONLY MOZZARELLA.

Meet Stefano, our fearless volcanologist extraordinaire, the man who talks to lava (okay, not really, but he does know everything about it). If you're joining our Amalfi walking tour, Stefano will be your guide to the mighty Vesuvius—the volcano that once turned an entire city into an archaeological time capsule!

Did you know Vesuvius last erupted in 1944? Or that it's one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world because one million people living nearby? Don’t worry, though—Stefano has it under control (or at least he makes us believe so).

So, ready to hike up to one of the most famous craters on the planet and hear stories that will blow your mind (but not the volcano, hopefully)? Let’s go! Join us on our Amalfi tour and discover Vesuvius with Stefano!

“Leading a Tour or Starring in a Sicilian Opera?”

Here I am, your fearless tour guide, channeling my inner Sicilian nonna or perhaps a wise old sea captain—who knows? One thing’s for sure: guiding a walking tour through Sicily isn’t just about history, food, and landscapes. It’s about style. And clearly, I’ve got that covered (literally).

Join me from May 21-27 or Sept. 10-16, 2025, as we explore this sun-drenched island, indulging in cannoli, strolling through ancient ruins, and maybe—just maybe—witnessing more of my questionable fashion choices.

Who’s in for an adventure? Just don’t forget your sunglasses… like I did mine.

Did you know that Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean?

Sicily is the birthplace of the "arancini," those delicious rice balls that come in all shapes and flavors depending on the town you're visiting.

Exploring Sicily on a slow-paced walking tour lets you uncover hidden gems, from ancient Greek temples to vibrant street markets. You'll have time to savor every step, every view, and every flavor. Are you ready to wander Sicily at its own charming rhythm?

Big shoutout to my amazing sister and tour assistant, Sandra, the mastermind behind the scenes! While I’m out dreaming up new tours, chatting with our wonderful guests, or losing myself in music and gardening, she’s the one holding everything together. Honestly, without her superhuman organizational skills, this whole operation would probably collapse like a poorly stacked gelato cone. Thank you for being the glue, the brains, and the calm in the chaos—you’re the best partner (and sister) I could ask for. And hey, now I owe you some garden-fresh veggies and a front-row seat to my next jam session! 🤣

Looking for a place that’s as colorful as your Instagram feed? Welcome to the Cinque Terre—where even the houses compete to outshine each other. 🎨 These charming villages didn’t get the memo about neutral tones, and thank goodness for that! Picture yourself strolling through vibrant streets, devouring fresh pesto (like, life-changing pesto), and pretending you’re in a romantic movie as you hike along cliffs with jaw-dropping views. Come for the colors, stay for the wine… and maybe a little sea breeze to reset your soul. Who’s in?

Ok ok. Our tours are informative, delicious and comfortable. Beyond that I think guides and guests together have a lot of fun. That's what counts for me the most.
