About Us

We began Via Walking tours in Tuscany a decade ago. Our goal has been to offer the experience of walking ancient pathways through the heart and history of Tuscany.  

Our commitment has been to include the very best of rural life, magnificent scenery, historic villages, sample Tuscan food and wine, participate in village celebrations, and at the end of the day have a base town to return to.

Canoeing rivers in USA, trekking in Nepal, exploring Syria and Jordan, backpacking in New Zealand and Australia and establishing Bowyangs Maps and Travel Guides retail shops in Melbourne are all part of our experience. We have a commitment to the environment, working in revegetation programs, supporters and members of Trust for Nature and Landcare.

We live in the Chianti region for part of the year.Thank you to our Italian friends for sharing their ideas, inspiration and energy.
