Back To Nature is a certainty - Nowadays I go with Back To Nature, almost every Sunday, it is a meeting of culture, with Edoardo Expert and recognized archaeologist who can explain so well that even I began to understand 🤣 between woods, tombs, hollow ways, seasoned with so much sympathy, laughter, packed lunches, barbecues and is sometimes a healthy aperitif at the end of the day. You walk in beautiful places, and many times exclusive, because Back To Nature " there prepares before" ...for us. I have tried many trekking groups but They are unique....

Exciting, wonderful and very enjoyable - Fantastic trip in an area that is hidden from most tourists, but which is like a journey 2500 years back in time. The most unique thing about this tour is that it combines going out into nature in places where people rarely go and at the same time discovering and investigating ancient tombs, temples, settlements and the fanatical Via Claudia carved into the rock. A rare trip that is highly recommended. Edoardo is very knowledgeable, professional and a warm and pleasant guide.

Pure adventure - My husband and I just returned from a two week trip throughout Italy and a few other places but I must say this off the beaten path excursion was by far was our most memorable unexpected experience. You start off in the middle of nowhere but you end up in an untamed civilization from the past. No crowds basically no people just pure adventure. If you want something unique and special you can’t go wrong.
