ARE THE TRIPS KIDS FRIENDLY?
It all depends from the kid. Does she / he love nature and animals? Is this his / her first multiple days walking experience? Is this his / her first excursion?
Some itineraries are prepared for beginners and are absolutely kids friendly, others are not. Contact us and we will see together. One thing is sure: Whether this is gonna be your kid's firts experience he / she will just love to feel free, away from the city and in contact with a new stimulating environment.
WHAT ABOUT BAD WEATHER?
Well, bad weather is unfortunately (or not) umpredictable, but it is absolutely part of the game!
Our guides will be able to evaluate every situation and tell you whether the excursion is not considered safe. Together we will find an alternative: Italy is plenty of nice (and safe) things to do in bad weather conditions. Rain is not considered an obstacle. This is part of our policy: we always walk under the rain, if it is safe, because we are sure that nature is beautiful in every condition and trust us: rain sometimes can hide unbelievable landscapes.
DO I NEED TO BRING ENYTHING IN PARTICULAR?
We do have a dedicated box called “Don't Forget” for every trip.
