Dear friend(s),

If you are active and like nature, hiking, archaeology, history, art and traditional Italian cuisine, then come on board and join us for a special Italian adventure.

We have prepared fascinating and unusual adventures which consist of beautiful guided visits of Rome, the Vatican, and a variety of hikes to historical sites in the countryside of Lazio, Umbria or Tuscany.

Our hikes will take you beyond the average visit of Rome. We’ll take you to places unknown to most Italians. No crowds, just the beautiful Italian countryside, culture and the very best food.

Just imagine hiking through a forest on an ancient Roman road and finding at the end of the trail the ruins of a Roman city dating back to 241 B.C. with its walls still intact, protecting it from hoards of hostile tribes.

We’ll take you to Etruscan altars where the ancestors of the Roman empire used to pray to their gods Tigna, Uni and Menerva. On this trip we’ll see Etruscan and Roman tombs, ruins of medieval churches, monasteries and castles.

Our walking tours offer an untraditional approach taking you back in time.

We’ll discover some of the clues that the past has left behind and consider together the precious remains of glorious civilizations.

The adventure doesn’t end here, though. Each evening we’ll complete our day by dining in selected restaurants where we will enjoy the combinations of food and wine and discover new tastes.

We are looking forward to seeing you on our hikes in 2007!

Robert Schmits
