2. You don't have a lot of time in Barcelona and in Rome at the start and end of the trip, so if you're keen to explore these spectacular cities in depth we recommend you arrive a day or two before the start of the trip or extend your stay at the end of the trip.<\/div><\/p>","age_average":30,"images":[{"original":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/tour\/474\/8817969496094-4.jpg","index":0,"size_1_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/640x450\/tour\/474\/8817969496094-4.webp","size_2_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/474\/8817969496094-4.webp","size_2_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/474\/8817969496094-4.jpg","size_3_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1080x450\/tour\/474\/8817969496094-4.webp","size_4_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/474\/8817969496094-4.webp","size_4_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/474\/8817969496094-4.jpg","size_5_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1440x900\/tour\/474\/8817969496094-4.webp","size_6_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/474\/8817969496094-4.webp","size_6_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/474\/8817969496094-4.jpg"},{"original":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/tour\/474\/8817968971806-3.jpg","index":1,"size_1_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/640x450\/tour\/474\/8817968971806-3.webp","size_2_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/474\/8817968971806-3.webp","size_2_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/474\/8817968971806-3.jpg","size_3_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1080x450\/tour\/474\/8817968971806-3.webp","size_4_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/474\/8817968971806-3.webp","size_4_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/474\/8817968971806-3.jpg","size_5_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1440x900\/tour\/474\/8817968971806-3.webp","size_6_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/474\/8817968971806-3.webp","size_6_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/474\/8817968971806-3.jpg"},{"original":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/tour\/474\/8816590454814-3.jpg","index":2,"size_1_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/640x450\/tour\/474\/8816590454814-3.webp","size_2_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/474\/8816590454814-3.webp","size_2_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/474\/8816590454814-3.jpg","size_3_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1080x450\/tour\/474\/8816590454814-3.webp","size_4_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/474\/8816590454814-3.webp","size_4_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/474\/8816590454814-3.jpg","size_5_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1440x900\/tour\/474\/8816590454814-3.webp","size_6_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/474\/8816590454814-3.webp","size_6_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/474\/8816590454814-3.jpg"},{"original":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/tour\/474\/8817969233950-3.jpg","index":3,"size_1_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/640x450\/tour\/474\/8817969233950-3.webp","size_2_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/474\/8817969233950-3.webp","size_2_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/474\/8817969233950-3.jpg","size_3_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1080x450\/tour\/474\/8817969233950-3.webp","size_4_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/474\/8817969233950-3.webp","size_4_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/474\/8817969233950-3.jpg","size_5_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1440x900\/tour\/474\/8817969233950-3.webp","size_6_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/474\/8817969233950-3.webp","size_6_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/474\/8817969233950-3.jpg"},{"original":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/tour\/474\/8817970085918-3.jpg","index":4,"size_1_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/640x450\/tour\/474\/8817970085918-3.webp","size_2_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/474\/8817970085918-3.webp","size_2_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/474\/8817970085918-3.jpg","size_3_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1080x450\/tour\/474\/8817970085918-3.webp","size_4_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/474\/8817970085918-3.webp","size_4_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/474\/8817970085918-3.jpg","size_5_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1440x900\/tour\/474\/8817970085918-3.webp","size_6_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/474\/8817970085918-3.webp","size_6_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1920x900\/tour\/474\/8817970085918-3.jpg"},{"original":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/tour\/474\/8816620535838-3.jpg","index":5,"size_1_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/640x450\/tour\/474\/8816620535838-3.webp","size_2_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/474\/8816620535838-3.webp","size_2_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/960x450\/tour\/474\/8816620535838-3.jpg","size_3_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1080x450\/tour\/474\/8816620535838-3.webp","size_4_webp":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/474\/8816620535838-3.webp","size_4_jpg":"https:\/\/cdn.tours-racv.com\/1280x900\/tour\/474\/8816620535838-3.jpg","si

The footpaths that run between the villages were once the only way to travel in the region, and take you through olive groves, vineyards and on to idyllic vistas. Walking the entire network of paths can take around five hours (12 kilometres in total) and you will need a good level of fitness. You can also choose to walk just a few sections, which will still unveil a great amount of majestic scenery. Some sections of path can be difficult, as there are challenging uphill stretches, narrow paths, steep cliffs and foot bridges. Please remember to bring comfortable footwear such as trainers or light hiking shoes. It's also possible to take the train between any of the villages or back to the group's base whenever you want. After working up an appetite, take advantage of the foods of the Liguria region with a pesto class \u2013 focaccia is also a speciality in this area and makes a great start to lunch.

Divided in two by the River Arno, the heart of Pisa is the Santa Maria quarter on the north bank. Here there'll be ample time for you to visit the world-famous Leaning Tower, as well as the Duomo (Piazza dei Miracoli, once the largest in Europe) and Pisa Baptistry. Please note that it's not always possible to climb the tower, although you'll have plenty of time to take pictures and explore the city. The tower was built in the 12th century, but its foundation was on shifting sand and clay, meaning that it now leans at an angle of 4 degrees (after restoration and stabilising work). Wander the shopping streets, from high-end boutiques to speciality book and antiques stores, and perhaps enjoy lunch and an aperitif in a backstreet restaurant before returning to the station in the afternoon and taking the train to Florence (approximately 2 hours). After checking in to your hotel, join your leader for quick orientation walk.
