Town trekking
Town trekking was discovered in our beautiful Tuscan cities of art a few years ago. We can follow the paths sometimes characterized by steep hills and steps - demanding but not tiring; it’s not necessary to be particularly fit. Ideal for toning up body and mind, suitable for everyone, town trekking is a new and fun way to discover towns such as Florence, Siena, Pisa, Lucca and Volterra.
