Walkability score: Easy **
Very little walking, up to 1-3 miles per day. Travelers should be able to climb some stairs without handrails; stand for extended periods of time; and walk during group activities. As these tours often include travel by motorcoach or private vehicle, travelers should be able to board transportation without assistance. Elevators are not always available at sights or all hotels.
**We do have a scheduled hike on the Path of the Gods. However there is an option for a rest day or exploring Sorrento on that day instead and a possibility to split the group. This will be decided on a case by case basic and tour leader reserves the right of discretion whether or not guest is suitable for this exclusion.
The hike will take approximately 3-3.5 hours.

I loved being on the Tour with I For Italia. Each day was the “Best Day Ever” and that was the truth. This well-organized tour along with Stefano’s kindness, attention to every detail, flexibility, and exceptional itinerary were superior to all others. The different forms of transportation used and the personable drivers were first class and always on time. Each day was full of beautiful scenery and a new adventure into the heart and soul of real people and their lives in Italy. I was especially drawn to the delicious culinary adventures we experienced, some planned and many not. Accommodations were charming and so unusual such as the lemon tree farm. You can’t do these things on a cruise ship! Grazie, Grazie, Stefano, for memories to last a lifetime!
