Via Francigena Tour Reviews

"A truly memorable holiday which enabled us not only to see parts of the wonderful Lazio countryside that we wouldn’t normally see by car, but also to soak up the atmosphere of the various villages and towns where we stayed." I. McNeill

"The country we passed through was beautiful, the accommodation more than adequate and the service was first class. The bonus was the wonderful people we met on the trail." G. Sargison.

"Very enjoyable walking holiday. Varied scenery, fascinating towns, particularly Etruscan Sutri and the city of Viterbo. We are in our 60's and reasonably fit and managed the walking OK with just one or two blisters. The walk is well signposted but it was good to have the excellent app and useful accompanying notes. On most days there was nowhere for lunch and limited water but we are able to buy supplies in the overnight stay town and enjoyed several lovely picnics in the countryside. Luggage delivery was seamless and the standard of accommodation was entirely adequate and 3 star as expected. Overall we would really recommend this trip." E. Parsons.
