Testimonials

The tour was wonderful and certainly lived up to any expectations I may have had. The highlights..... that is a difficult one to answer. The walks, the food, the accommodation... Personally, I wouldn't know of any changes to suggest.

– Pam Parodi, Central Tilba and the south coast of NSW

Your planning was perfect. I sincerely think it was a very balanced itinerary and can find no fault. The company, ambience, food and accommodation were just right. All four of us felt the same and would be delighted to join again in the future. Thanks for your easy company and a wonderful adventure.

– PrueTodd, Central Tilba and the south coast of NSW

Thank you again – it was a great week. So good to get away, but especially to do such interesting things and enjoy good walks, food, wine and company. A great mix of activities. I’m looking forward to organising another week with Hidden Italy.

– Diane Tiffin, King Valley and the Victorian High Country

I think the tour went really well. We had a harmonious group who mixed and all chatted with one another. The walks were varied and all very beautiful. We ate well (and probably too well at times!) and the winery tours were well chosen. I will be happy to do some more walking with Hidden Italy.

– Assunta Hunter, King Valley and Victorian High Country

Thanks so much for organising another superb walking tour - we could be anywhere in the world! A magic part of the country. We can't wait for the next one!

– Al and Gail Kaminsky, Wollombi and the Hunter Valley

Thank you for a wonderful trip. Fantastic!

– Alan and Kathy Thomson, Wollombi and the Hunter Valley

The tour did live up to my expectations - I have done many of these walks and, of course, they are all a little different. They really were a lovely group of people and I enjoyed their company as well as yours and Kym's. All in all a very enjoyable trip and I am already longing for my next one.

– Rae Green, Adelaide and the Flinders Ranges

It was nice to meet you. The Flinders Ranges walk was excellent, the highlight being Rawsons Bluff. The only suggestion for improvement would be to add another day or two! Hopefully our paths will cross again in the future.

– Ric Cother, Adelaide and the Flinders Ranges, 2021

We wanted to say a big thank you for our walking holidays to Tuscany and Umbria. The walks were great, accommodation and meals fantastic and the people involved in the transferring, very helpful and accommodating. We will definitely recommend Hidden Italy to all our friends.

– Penny and Mike, October 2018

The beauty of the scenery, the charm of the people, the variety and quality of the hotels, the bountiful and delicious restaurants, were all past any expectations. Thank you. We will be back.

– Richard and Pamela, October 2018

Your Hidden Italy programme is certainly top class and we have already recommended you to several friends. We were completely happy with our La Tuscia walk and cannot thank you enough for the amazing organisation.Thank you for your communication, organisation and our perfect walking holiday.

– John and Jackie, September 2018

We were pleasantly surprised with our second Hidden Italy Tour - the variation in geography, landscape and vegetation walking through farming country, beautiful shaded forests and woodlands, interesting villages and then down to the sea.

– Chris and Louise, September 2018

We all thoroughly enjoyed the trip and the countryside. The paths were well marked and we didn't encounter any difficulties finding and then negotiating the tracks. The two climbs to the top were challenging however the views were spectacular.

– Judy, August 2018

I had the most wonderful time on Hidden Italy Dolomite Tour. The most stunning area and the walking was just right. All the people in our group were extremely friendly, caring and funny. We had a wonderful time. Sublime. Our tour guide was lovely, well prepared and helpful.

– Helen, September 2018

I have been on other tours but never as enjoyable and satisfying as 'Hidden Italy', one is made to feel so welcome and it is like rejoining a lovely family. Once again, thanks for a magical trip.

– AB, Verona and Dolomites guided walking tour

We did want to tell you how delighted we were with the walking tours that you designed for us ... We are extremely grateful for a most memorable adventure.

– RH, Tuscany self-guided walking tour

I have never been disappointed with any of the Hidden Italy tours since my first one in 1998 and look forward to many more.

– JJ, Venice and Lakes guided walking tour

It was a wonderful experience, we loved it all....The freedom of a non-guided walk was just great. Don't change anything!

– RS, Cinque Terre self-guided walking tour

...Carmelina was just wonderful. She was not only knowledgeable but she has a deep love of her homeland, Sicily, and looked after our every need.. it was a joy to be part of her group.

– KH, Sicily guided walking tour

I wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had on the self-guided walk you arranged for us from Monalcino to Montepulciano. The walking route was lovely, the towns exquisite and the accommodation and meals overall 5 star!

– GM, Tuscany 1 self-guided walk

Wow, what a trip! I didn't think it would top the Lakes adventure, but it did!

– ML, Dolomites guided walking tour

The Amalfi Coast walk was without doubt the absolute highlight of several trips to Europe ... the walk of a life time.

– RB, Amalfi Coast self-guided walking tour

The tour more than lived up to my expectations. It embraced everything I was expecting – variety; challenge; spectacular scenery; good food, wine and accommodation...

– MO, Dolomites guided walking tour

Just wanted to let you know that we had a great trip to Cinque Terre. Our accommodations were beautiful, the people were so friendly, and the food was fantastic. Doesn't get any better than that! Thanks much.

– SM, Cinque Terre Slow

We have seached for new superlatives to describe this magical island and the wonderful guided tour we have just experienced.,. This trip was perfect in every way - providing just the right balance between walking; absorbing the spectacular scenery.

– MR, Sicily guided walking tour

Our week on the Amalfi Coast was incredible. The weather was perfect the whole time, and the walks were quite incredible…. All in all, the trip was spectacular, and I would be hard put to think of when I have spent a more enjoyable week.

– TD, Amalfi Coast self-guided walk

The Puglia tour exceeded my expectations...where else could you visit a cave house, a fortified village, a fortified town and sleep in a trullo all in one day? The highlights, as usual, were all the great surprises: the mosaic floor in Otranto, the frescoes in Galatina, the festival in Maglie.

– MB, Puglia guided walking tour

Yes, the Venice and Italian Lakes tour lived up to my expectations and then some! The walks were just right for me and nicely balanced with the other activities. The highlights included the time at Lake Como, especially the gardens, the walk in Venice, the coffee shops and the little surprises.
