Walks of Italy

Walks of Italy specializes in small-group and private walking tours in Italy's greatest destinations. We've received glowing recommendations on Rick Steves, Tripadvisor, and the New York Times because of our: -Group size: 12 to 16 depending on the tour; -"Add-ons" that personalize private tours; -Fluent English-speaking, expert guides; -Tour operator accreditation in Italy and the Vatican, meaning privileges like special Sistine Chapel entrances; -"Off-the-beaten-path" itineraries, like our Tales from the Crypts underground Rome tour, visiting the most intriguing catacombs and crypts in the city. At Walks of Italy, we think each visitor should love and learn from every tour they take in Italy. To ensure that, we fine-tune our itineraries to incorporate only Italys most interesting sites to dig deeper and expand horizonsoften taking you off the beaten path and away from the guidebook page. Furthermore, we reject over-crammed, depersonalized tours of any kind. When your guide becomes a shepherd leading his flock rather than an engaging, passionate site expert, then your time is being wasted. Based on our extensive experience, we have found that groups larger than 12 simply cannot offer the personalized experience that a truly small group can offer. With this in mind, we specialize in small group tours of 12-16: the ideal size to ensure the guide/visitor connection.
