Hidden Italy Walking Tours

15/03/2026

The Hidden Italy Sicily guided tour is 25 years old this year! We usually do two each year, so that adds up to a lot of tours. We must be doing something right!

“We have searched 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; the diverse history and culture!Thank you!!”

Hidden Italy based its first guided tour in Montalcino (Val d’Orcia, southern Tuscany) in 1994. It was a gorgeous town but a bit of a backwater back then, with only one (dodgy) hotel. It’s changed a bit all these years later but not so much. Still a great place to visit and I still believe that the Val d’Orcia has to be one of the most beautiful places in the world!

“What were the highlights? A hard question because of the comprehensive cover of all things Sicilians - beautiful walks, wild flowers, forests, food, wine people, language, history, architecture... not to mention the squid fishing!”

“Simon, there were so many highlights on our Hidden Italy walk from Ravello to Positano it’s hard to know where to start. I must first congratulate you on the amazing walk and your instructions were spot on which gave us great security. It has given us both a life time of experience.”

“What a fantastic walk! The accommodation was across the board really excellent. Luggage transfers were seamless. The walk itself was brilliant. This is a really quality product, and I’ve recommended it to several people. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience!”

“I just loved the entire trip and look forward to doing many more with you in the future. I enjoyed visiting a region of Italy that is less touristy than, say, Tuscany or Umbria.. I am enjoying telling all my less travelled friends about the pleasures of my holiday! Keep me posted on future trips.”

“The whole walk was amazing, realising you were walking where other feet had walked since 900BC. The walks of course were the highlights but also all those unexpected things that happened in every town: funerals and festas etc... absolutely no changes necessary!”

“We have just returned to New Zealand, thanks for all the organisation. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, even on the longer days and were most impressed with the accommodation and meals. The walk was a wonderful way to enjoy the Italian countryside and people, we will enthusiastically recommend it.”
