Trekking tours in Italy

Untouristic. How it all started

Summer 2015
I pack a 65l rucksack and set off for the biggest adventure in my life – Via Francigena.
The plan was to walk from Canterbury to Rome, but it was not enough and after more than 3000km on foot all alone I ended up in Santa Maria di Leuca, the most southern point of Italy.
This is how it all started as during that journey I received the first "Can I join you?" message. People wanted to to get great travel experience and new I could give it.
In 2023 Untouristic srl was born. I had dozens of hiking tours organized and accompanied, I’ve been to every single region of Italy, I knew the best places to show and the most interesting stories to tell about them.
I was already a tour guide and a tour leader, but it took me around 5 years of additional training to get an international mountain leader licence. And some years more to dare open an official tour operator specilizing in walking tours.
Art. You might think architecture, paintings, theatre and music have nothing to do with hiking, but they do. Untouristic unites people who love Beauty. Both nature and man-made.
Human relations. When was the last time you had an interesting dialogue? Sometimes hiking brings together people who otherwise would have never met. It can be a huge source of inspiration and new friends!
Education and knowledge. Our guides will introduce you to the local history, culture, and cuisine, and will tell you about local flora and fauna (no boring wikipedia info here, only stories you will get enchanted with. Did you know, for example, that fawns are born without any smell so that predators can’t find them? Or that birches are pretty bitchy trying literally to kill their neighbour-trees?)
Eco-friendliness (there is no better way to enter our black list than to leave litter during a hike)
If you find yourseld in what we believe in, I am sure we will match!
Untouristic is not only about hiking, though. It is about uniting real people in this digitalized world. People with similar beliefs and values:
It was time to expand so that more tourists could get the best hiking holidays Italy could offer.
