Episode 172 - Walking Through Tuscany with Macs Adventure | Self-Guided Italy Travel

from Sunshine Travelers Podcast · host Scott and Melissa Barronton

Last year, we partnered with Macs Adventure for their Umbria Short Break, a self-guided walking trip through the Italian countryside where we moved from town to town each day while our luggage was transferred ahead for us. It completely changed how we thought about adventure travel.  So this year, we decided to experience a different style of trip with Macs Adventure, the Relaxed Trails of Tuscany. Instead of packing up and moving every day, this itinerary slowed things down a little more. We spent multiple nights in each destination, used walking trails to explore both the countryside and the towns themselves, and had more time to get to know Tuscany. In this episode, we’re going to share what our days actually looked like on the trail, introduce you to some new friends we made along the way, and talk about why these self-guided walking trips have become one of our favorite ways to experience Europe. Some links are affiliate links.
