There's more to walking in Italy than the nightly passegiata. In Tuscany you can follow the so-called "white roads", or gravelled rural tracks that link the region's medieval hill towns, passing through a landscape little changed since it was painted by the masters of the Renaissance.

ATG Oxford says
No other province in Italy can match the quality and variety of Tuscany’s landscapes, art and architecture, nor the enduring appeal of its food and wine. And the best way to see it is on foot, discovering the real Tuscany, far from parking lots and tourism hotspots.
Even the major cities such as Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and Montepulciano, take on a serenity and timelessness when approached on foot along ancient routes through idyllic countryside. This is the very essence of Tuscany.
At ATG, we have been operating in Tuscany for more than 30 years. We offer walking holidays along continuous routes that extend the length and breadth of the province. We even own Tuscany’s oldest and most historic hotel.
From our 4-star Residenza d’Epoca, situated between Florence and Siena, we offer walking holidays on more than 500 miles of paths, from the Lunigiana and Garfagnana in the north, to routes for independent travellers in our Footloose programme. And for escorted groups, our itineraries stretch from Florence and San Gimignano, via Siena, to Lazio and Rome.
