Imagine waking up in a beautiful new Tuscan village each morning, with a new stretch of the Via Francigena - the ancient Italian Camino - to explore today.

After a delicious local breakfast we get ready to explore the delights of today's path as we walk step by step from Lucca to Siena over 8 nights. Stopping to soak up the majestic views en route and rest our feet as we eat the best local fresh food for lunch - oh yes gelato and vino are welcome here!

Each day varies from 18 - 27km walking and we will traverse different landscapes that offer insights, culture, beauty, laughter and connection - as well as making room in our bellies for the feasts of food after a long days exploring! All that fresh air, talking and exploring will make us hungry for sure. Each night we explore the villages and towns to soak up Tuscany and all the hidden gems and local delights on offer. Any irresistible Italian shopping you do en route can just be popped into your main luggage without you having to worry about carrying the extra weight every day
