Private Guided Hikes in Tuscany

Guided walking tours and private hikes across Tuscany: Apennines, Apuan Alps, hidden trails. GAE-certified local guide, all levels.

Every hike on this page is private and guided by me. You pick the day, I plan the route around your group, and nobody else joins.

I guide the quieter corners of northern Tuscany: the Apuan Alps and their marble quarries, the high lakes of the Apennine ridge, the old forests of Acquerino, and gentle walks like the Nottolini aqueduct, which starts a few minutes from Lucca’s train station.

Browse the guided walking tours below by city, or filter for the ones you can reach by train. If you’re not sure which day fits your fitness or your dates, write to me and I’ll tell you honestly, including when the honest answer is a shorter walk than the one you had in mind.
