Don’t worry, this tour won’t tire you out, it is a relaxed ramble through beautiful countryside very close to Florence, with spectacular views. Whatever time of year, there is beautiful scenery to behold.

Breath in the fresh Tuscan air

Breathe in the fresh Tuscan air with the scents of cypresses and wild flowers along shady forest paths. Listen to the sounds of the Italian countryside as you walk on this inclined forest and country roads among vineyards and olive groves just outside of Florence.

Enjoy a Tuscany hiking tour

Along the route, learn about the traditions of olive oil production, and the process of winemaking from our knowledgeable guides.

The group departs from the medieval town of Fiesole, just outside of Florence, and continues among the country roads through Chianti Colli Fiorentini’s vineyards.

Panoramic Tuscan views

Enjoy the panoramic views, then lunch in a typical Florentine osteria where you’ll taste local dishes, including olive oil and Chianti wine tastings.

Tuscan Lunch and Wine

Indeed, once you’ve worked up an appetite you’ll enjoy a typical local lunch. This tour is perfect for a stay in Florence to relax a bit in the countryside, without going too far. In fact, Fiesole sits just outside of Florence overlooking the city. Although it can even be reached walking, you’ll be taken to a drop off point in Fiesole to begin the tour.

    We LOVED our walking tour in Tuscany! It was nice to do something different than walking through museums. My husband loved it – it was probably one of our favorite things on the trip. We enjoyed the hike and the views. The villa was lovely, and the lunch was WONDERFUL! Thank you guys for planning a great tour

  2. Kendell Slee

    This has been a treat! Excellent tour guide, wonderful itinerary – and we love the small group. We’ll definitely recommend it and come back!

  3. Sally Sellars

    Well I have to say and I’m sure my 2 sisters will agree, It was the best tour we have ever had, our guide was informative, interesting and had such a beautiful way of describing the scenery, and how thing were in Tuscany then and now, that you just wanted to hear more, we could have walked all day not even noticing the time, soaking up magnificent scenery, and interesting facts, we laughed a lot, and the lunch was beautiful. Our guide was delightful and able to connect with all age groups on our tour. we will be back one day to enjoy another Walking tour.

  5. Nicole Widley

  6. Aaron Briesemeister

    Our tour guide was great. He was very knowledgeable about basically everything. From history, culture, politics, to wine and oil processing. The hike was beautiful and Davide was very kind and personable. We have a baby and Davide was great at working with us.

  7. Marjam

    I really enjoyed this tour into the environs of Florence! We went to Monteceri near Fiesole, with part of the tour in Fiesole itself. Our guide was knowledgeable and told us many things about nature and the history of the area, while we were hiking through a gorgeous forest. I was happy to see a different part of Tuscany (apart from Florence).

  8. Enid and Bryan Forman

    Amazing tour with two very personable young men — Davide e Jacopo — who took us by car into the hills of Fiesole for a hike, followed by lunch, a visit to a monastery and a tour of a family olive oil and wine business. We are tired but extremely appreciative for a very energizing and totally enjoyable day in the company of two knowledgeable and entertaining young men. Take a day away from the crowds in Bella Firenze.
