      For Italy, we do have our A Taste of Sicily - Palermo to Syracuse tour that has a September 20th - 27th 2026 departure that still has space.

      TravelerWritten June 2026

      I should have specified I was interested in Northern Italy. I've already done a tour of Sicily.

    • Explore!OperatorWritten June 2026

      The only trip we currently have in Northern Italy between September 19 and September 26, 2026, is our DW – Hiking in the Dolomites tour.

      This holiday includes five day walks, with an average of 6–7 hours of walking each day. The terrain varies from quiet roads and well-maintained forest tracks to more rugged single-track paths. Surfaces can be uneven, stony, and rocky underfoot, so good walking boots or shoes are essential.

      As we are trekking in a mountainous region, sections of uphill walking typically last around 2–3 hours, covering approximately 3–5 km (1.9–3.1 miles) and gaining 400–500 metres (1,300–1,640 feet) in elevation. Full details of daily elevation gains and descents can be found in the day-to-day itinerary.

      Some hikes reach elevations above 2,000 metres (6,562 feet), where we will walk at a slower pace to accommodate the effects of altitude. To get the most from the trip, we recommend regular long walks on hilly terrain in the weeks leading up to departure.

      Maximum walking altitude: 2,550 metres

      We currently have two spaces available on this departure.

    Please advise on meeting point in Granada.

    Flights / Transfers
    • Explore!OperatorWritten January 2026

      Our tour starts today at Malaga Airport (AGP), from where we'll travel as a group to our first stop, Granada.

      We'll gather at the meeting point at 15.45pm and take either a direct bus from the airport or a train into Malaga followed by a bus to Granada (a two-hour journey). The latest your flight can arrive is 15.15pm.

      If your flight choice doesn't fit with our meeting time, you might prefer to travel to Granada by yourself. There are regular buses from both Malaga Airport and Malaga bus station, please ask us for additional joining information to plan your journey. If you're planning to travel to the hotel solo, remember to inform us so we're not expecting you at the airport.

    How is the luggage handled if taking a public bus?

    Transport
    • Explore!OperatorWritten November 2022

      Luggage: On tour one main piece of baggage and daypack. Remember you are expected to carry your own luggage so don't overload yourself. We use public transport for the majority of this tour, so it is essential that you are able to carry your bag on and off of the trains and buses.
