Slower Adventure tours in Italy

Italy Slower Adventures

Highlights
  • Enjoy an easy-going pace, shorter daily mileages and more free time
  • Spend 2 or more nights in most locales so you can delve a bit deeper
  • Relax into your surroundings at hand-picked small hotels
  • Cycle or hike through olive groves, vineyards and gorgeous coastal landscapes
  • Discover ancient monuments, temples, and a wealth of UNESCO-listed sites
  • Indulge in mouth-watering Italian cuisine and then an evening stroll known as 'la passeggiata,' 

Italy’s slower pace makes it the perfect travel destination for those who want to slow down and savor every moment when they travel.  On one of our self-guided slower adventures, enjoy a blend of picturesque trails and laidback exploration, without sacrificing any of that 'dolce vita'. With less daily hiking or biking mileage and no group or guide to defer to, you'll have more time to explore historical lanes, peek into local shops, taste freshly pressed olive oil, and perhaps enjoy a refreshing gelato at a seafront cafe. All at your own pace, whether you are hiking or cycling. We handle your logistics and provide you the routes and best recommendations along the trails we offer. Return each evening to your unique hand-picked accommodation, your luggage and maybe a bottle of a local vintage awaiting you. 

Every slower adventure in Italy reveals something new, and each region boasts its own unique character, landscape, cuisine and culture. Pedal through ancient olive groves, wander the streets of medieval hilltop villages, or take a dip in the Adriatic or an Italian lake. Our slow-paced active tours cover Italy’s best-known areas, from the rolling hills of Tuscany to the rugged sea cliffs of the Amalfi Coast and the shores of Lakes Como, and into quieter less travelled regions like Piedmont or sun-drenched Puglia. With our slower but still active Italy vacations, discover Italy in real time and on your terms.
