Hotels: We have designed our scheduled trips to be affordable. Our trip accommodations are in charming, comfortable, well-located three star hotels. All rooms have private facilities.

Food: We choose local specialties but with an eye to a traveler's diet. We know the best trattorias and bistros in the area. We take great care in developing menus that provide you with the best that each restaurant has to offer while sampling a cross-section of regional cuisine.

Activity: Our walks through the countryside are normally between four and six hours a day (10 - 18 kms) while our bike routes regularly entail about 50 kms of riding with optional extensions for keen riders. All our bike trips are van supported.

Special Events: Europe has so much to offer, from food and wine to artists and artisans, and thousands of years of history, so we compliment our walks and rides with special events such as cooking demonstrations, winery visits and tastings, and special guided visits of historic towns, castles, and villas.
