"Walks of Italy has passionate, fun guides who lead a variety of good, reliable walks for groups no bigger than 12 people at a time."

Walks of Italy partners with Showtime! The four-time Emmy nominated show The Borgias finished its first season with a bang, and one lucky Grand Prize Winner received an all-expense paid trip to Rome, and a custom Borgias tour (courtesy of Walks of Italy).

Benvenuti in Italia!
Our walks and other tours let you not just see Italy, but understand it. We specialize in giving you not just the history but the insider’s view wherever you are—on or off the beaten path.
But we’re not Hikes of Italy: Our walks are designed to engage you, not exhaust you. We’re exploring the city as you would when you first arrive…except with the help of an expert, and entertaining, guide. We keep it short and relaxed—and when necessary, we get transportation.
Most of all, our tours are designed to be fun! Our guides are some of the most knowledgeable people out there. But they know you’re on vacation, not an art history lecture. Expect to learn, but also expect to laugh, relax, be entertained… perhaps even be moved to tears. (Trust us. It’s happened before).
Beyond our guides, our staff members work 24/7 to ensure that you’re getting the absolute best that not only we, but also that any tour company, can offer. Our expert insiders are available to answer your questions, solve your dilemmas, and help you plan a vacation you’ll remember forever… for the right reasons. And, thanks to our network of trusted partners throughout Italy, we can help advise you on, and even book, anything at all—from an airport pickup to a top hotel! Perhaps best of all? You won’t have to talk to a recorded answering machine. You get advice from a real person!
Top-Rated Walking Tours for Your Vacation to Italy
Why walk with us? Keep in mind:
• Our walks are big on discovery… and small on size. We have a group tour maximum of just 12 people per guide—and our average group size is 8. That means you’re heard, not part of the herd. It’s the only way to get all of your questions answered, your individual interests catered to, and your experience as personalized as possible.
• Our prices are all-inclusive. You won’t have any extra costs or little “surprises” on the day of the tour. We promise.
• We walk… away from the guidebook. Yes, we do all of the must-see sites—and you should, too! But we also visit those off-the-beaten-path gems that we promise will make your trip to Italy.
• Our guides are fluent English speakers, and we do only English tours. That means not only that you will understand your guide perfectly, but that you’ll never be on a tour that’s given in, say, English, Spanish and Japanese. Believe us, it happens—and you’d get only a third of the information in the same amount of time.
• Private walks? They’re personal. Our private tours give you the option of add-ons to discover exactly what best suits your interests. You have the ultimate flexibility in topic and timing. Want to see a site that we haven’t included? Our expert staff can also create a tour from scratch!
• We travel like it’s 2011. At the cutting edge of the travel industry, we’re constantly coming up with new ways to share our knowledge and passion for Italy with you. We’re also always figuring out how to get your feedback, so we can keep creating new and fun ways to travel! Want proof? Check us out on Facebook!

Why did I found Walks of Italy?
Because I can’t think of a worse way to experience a local culture than spending your whole vacation crammed on a bus with 50 other tourists. Because I believe that to see the best of Italy, you need to get out there and discover— More Info....
