Superbly organised and beautiful walking experience Our Via Francigena walking was absolutely magnificent and superbly organised by Antonello, Viadelsole. From our 1st conversations to our final day walking, he was always helpful and very attentive to our needs. The accommodation was great, staying in some exquisite hotels. The walking app was the best! Thank you, Antonello for your advice at the onset of our walk, support and responsiveness during the walk and the friendly service throughout. We highly recommend this company.

The Journey of a Lifetime We did the Via di Francesco trail from LaVerna to Assisi. We worked with Antonello at Viadelsole. He was so communicative right from the first inquiry! It was my first time of ever hiking such a long trail. I expressed this and he continued to help us personalize our journey to fit our needs. Everything about it was so wonderfully memorable! The itinerary, the housing, the transportation was all well planned. Thanks Antonello and Viadelsole for the journey of a lifetime! If I decide to do another long hike, I will definitely contact Viadelsole! Peggy S

What an incredible experience It was an amazing trip and I am happy to provide very positive feedback. The gravel routes were spectacular and one of the things I most appreciated was the mix between the country and in cities. It was so nice to recharge in peaceful places like Solomeo and Buonconvento, but also have the opportunity to experience what places like Assisi, Perugia and Montepulciano has to offer. Daniele, Roberta and the entire Viadelsole crew were attentive, pleasant and I look forward to using them again.

pure adventure we had a great week's worth of adventure. every day was a pleasant surprise. we were treated like royalty by everyone we met at all the hotels and 'agriturismos'. breakfasts were always healthy and abundant and the rooms were elegant and comfortable. the best part of the trip was our interaction with the trip coordinator, Daniele. he gave us great advice and stayed in contact the whole week helping us navigate the journey as smoothly as possible.

Live in the present moment A huge thank you to Via del Sol and particularly to Antonello for their exceptional support. You greatly simplified our trip and allowed us to focus on the essentials, enjoying the journey and creating memories that we will keep for a long time. I recommend Via del Sol without hesitation to those who wish to experience the Francigena with confidence, serenity, and a light heart.

Great experience! My husband and I have used Viadelsole on 3 separate occasions on their self guided hiking trips. It has been great to work with them. This is a fantastic group of people. From start to finish they are responsive, dependable and trustworthy. They are very familiar and knowledgeable with all the hiking areas in Italy and it is clear they take pride in what they do. The accommodations they arranged for us were all wonderful. They each had their own special character.They arranged to have our luggage transported everyday, and the luggage always arrived without a problem. They provided a guide book and a gpx app. On one occasion, a friend we were traveling with injured her leg, and the kind Viadelsole folks arranged to take her to the next location. Every single person we have interacted with at Viadelsole have been kind, generous with their time and very dependable. While hiking very long distances, it was always so comforting to know that they were always available to answer our questions. It gave us peace of mind. Special acknowledgments to Antonello and Cristina. We can't wait to plan our next adventure with them.

Via Francigena Bourg St.. Pierre to St. Martin with Viadelsole. Four of us walked the Via from Bourg to Pont St. Martin during the July heatwave. The organisation of the trip by Viadelsole was immaculate and Antonello went above and beyond to arrange Hotel choices and kept in touch frequently to update us on any changes to the itinerary. The route is spectacular and somewhat demanding (we are in out late 60's and early 70's) but we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. All the B&Bs ( Maison Bertin, Lo Matson & D'ARTEmisia) were superb and we were warmly welcomed and well looked after in each one. Hotel Italia on the pass, had clearly just opened, and was disappointing. The other Hotels (Bivouac Napoleon and HB Aosta) were good. Due to a last minute Hotel problem in Etroubles the taxi transfer back and forth for one night worked seamlessly. The gpx files for the self guidance worked really well and for 99% of the route were accurate, only being wrong were a landowner had fenced off a path. The scenery is amazing and there were plenty of places on most days to get food and drink. Despite the heat we explored the various Roman remains and Churches. My only advice if you like Roman remains is to consider an extra day in Aosta or do as we did and catch a bus part of the way having spent a morning exploring the town. I would thoroughly recommend this part of the Via for its varied scenery and would have no hesitation in using Viadelsole to organise the trip, in fact we hope to return next year to do another section with them.

Via Francigena Self Guided Walking Holiday My wife and I have now used Viadelsole 4 times in the last 10 years to organise our Via Francigena walking holidays. They provide excellent route notes, accomodation is always to a high standard and our luggage transfers were always successful. Support for any problems encountered en route was always available no matter what day of the week. Last but not least, Viadelsole's prices are always very competitive. Can't rate this company highly enough. Will definitely be using Viadelsole again for our next Italian walking holiday.

Best of Tuscany Had a great bike tour of Umbria and Tuscany. Viadelsole and Daniele took great care of me and my buddy. The rooms were great and out luggage was there for us each day. The routes were as challenging as they were beautiful, and by the end I had to hike a bike up the steepest slopes because my 55 year old legs were fried. My buddy switched from regular bike to an e-bike and was glad he did. Despite the fact that the ride was challenging, I would do this again. Great trip and beautiful country, Ciao.

Walking in Tuscany and Lazio A walking holiday in Italy with a total of 10 days walking finishing in Rome. Our accommodation was pre-arranged and our luggage transported for us. All the arrangements went smoothly. There was a variety of accommodation including medium sized hotels and small B&Bs all of which were of good quality We were provided with a route app which was easy to follow and the route itself (Via Francigena) went through some beautiful countryside (see photo) and fascinating hill towns. We had a great time

Wonderful walk through Tuscany Viadelsole coordinated a wonderful self-guided walking trip through the hill towns of Tuscany for four of us. Antonello and his team accommodated our every request, from an extra day in Siena, to an upgrade for one of the hotels, to restaurant recommendations, and even to retrieving a left-behind item. The inns they booked were all quite pleasant and several were magical. The route and route-finding app worked flawlessly and every meet up, transfer and check-in was on-time and smooth. We are very happy we selected an Italian operator instead of one of the UK or US-based "big guys." We highly recommend Viadelsole and thank them heartily for their exceptional service!

Great way to explore Umbria and Tuscany Well organized, overnight stays are very nice and in great parts of towns or country side. Routes are well planed and with spectacular sights. Unless you are a mountain goat opt for the e-bike option. Some of the roads can be steep and with some rough riding. Staff is great. Eric

Great self- guided cycling tour in Umbria with Via Delsole We did an 8 day customized self guided cycling tour organized by Daniele of Via Delsole. Thanks to Daniele’s meticulous planning, we were able to explore many beautiful hill towns in Umbria and southern Tuscany by e-bike and rest in comfortable well-located hotels and inns at night. Daniele’s communication and support throughout the planning process and throughout the trip were amazing. He was flexible and adapted the itinerary to meet our interests and needs - even making some last minute route changes. The directions provided on Ride GPS were easy to navigate and the e-bikes provided were in excellent condition ( although quite heavy) with more than enough battery power for long hilly rides. Our bags were transferred for us to the next accommodation each day, so we packed our lunch and went on our way each morning. We had an overall wonderful experience and I highly recommend working with Daniele and Via Delsole for a perfect cycling adventure!

La Appia vive Questo anno ho continuato la ViaFrancigena del Nord, quindi la prima parte della VF del Sud : da Roma a Teano in 13 giorni. Una emerzione nel paesaggio di Lazio sud da Roma e di Campania alcuni giorni. Paesaggie con aspetto medievale, tutto natura e agricoltura, lunga la Via Appia : la Appia non e solo sempre visibile a Roma ma durante tutto il percorso, de tempo a tempo. Anche a 300 km da Roma sempre piccoli monumenti acanto della strade en alle superficie le pietre di basalto de 2000 anni.ee Natura, orizonti, cultura e molti relitti dal tempo romano e prima, cibo e vini, paesi ,il turismo locale pieno di sorprese. Un cammino e sopratutto un viaggio dentro di te, revivere al retroattivo situazione e trovare liberazione in molti sensi.

A well planned ride that showed us the breadth and variety of the beautiful Tuscan landscape and its food and wines Excellent rides showcasing lots of Tuscany. The bike rides have you discovering woodlands and small road in stunning countryside, visiting Italian villages and towns not over taken by tourism. We stayed in hotels in historic buildings with lots of character and amazing grounds in rural venues. We had wonderful food in many of the more rural hotels Great activity to do with friends Really great customer service from Daniele and Beppe, responding quickly to questions and one problem with a bike (and a replacement bike in two hours)

Hills of Tuscany in May We really enjoyed the Hills of Tuscany one week hiking tour. Highlights were the views of the hilltop villages from the hikes, the white gravel roads between villages, the lodging each night, the mineral baths in Bagno Vignoli, and the regional wines. The support from Viadelsole was very good including availability via WhatsApp during the visit, the detailed GPS routes between villages that could be adapted to our needs and their obvious attention to detail.

Cycling in the heart of Umbria We had a great experience from start to finish. We did the cycling in the heart of Umbria tour and it was just brilliant. A lot of the hotels were family run and we got a real feel of Umbria and the friendliness of the people. Some of the hotels were in the countryside and some in the towns but all very comfortable and would happily stay at any of them again. The cycling was great and we felt very safe and saw some amazing countryside and sights. We had time to explore where we were staying after your cycle so that was great and very well planned. Daniele was brilliant and our luggage was always where it should be and everything was really well organised. Any queries he answered really quickly and would thoroughly recommend. We may do another tour next year it was fab !! Thank you for a great holiday.

ViadelsOLE Als niet echt ervaren wandelaars- annex klimmers hebben we doorgebeten om 12 dagen van La Verna Monasteria tot Assisi te trekken. Het reisagentschap viadelsole.it heeft ons daarbij fantastisch geassisteerd: steeds met tijdige communicatie, de route per dag, de gpx- files, de hotellijst, aankomstdag transfer met trein Arezzo en taxi naar La Verna, een dagje transfer via Perugia, bagage steeds weggebracht (steeds nà we vertrokken waren), extra dagje Firenze eraan geplakt, extra rustdagje Pietralunga was ook welkom na 6 dagen, heerlijke hotels/ b en b's, agriturisme, eetgelegenheid ter plekke of vlakbij, enz. Als je dit leest klinkt het wat complex, maar niets van dat. En dan het belangrijkste natuurlijk: we beleefden op 11 stapdagen en 192 km een heroïsche, adembenemende tocht in prachtige natuur. Voor de vogelliefhebbers: paradijs aan zangvogels! Vriendelijke mensen onderweg en op locatie. Het weer? 30 min onweer. Enfin, u hoort het al, deel 2 Assisi- Rome, we hebben er na een dag thuiskomst, al terug zin in. Viadelsole, het eindigt inderdaad niet toevallig op OLE!! Of is dat Spaans... Groeten van 2 enthousiastelingen; Marc en Ann, België
