While all of our learning adventures offer extraordinary value, our "Best Value" programs were rated by our participants themselves who thought their dollar went particularly far.
Love to learn in a small-group setting? This collection of programs has at most 10-24 participants.
See our Small Group programs.
EasyFor people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
ModerateThese programs get you on your feet and include activities such as walking up to a mile in a day through a city and standing in a museum for a few hours.
ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.

Hi. My name is Fran Schapiro. I am participating in the walking tour in Umbria in May. Is there anyone else enrolled in this program?
Marilyn Mehr Apr 22, 2013 at 10:52 PM

Yes. Did you have a question?


Marilyn Mehr Feb 26, 2013 at 10:00 AM

I've been on three RS hiking trips and am usually the last in the line up the mountain, but I get there and enjoy the journey. Just keep walking....


Mary Oconnor Nov 19, 2012 at 11:24 AM

A friend and I are considering this program. I am an experienced, but slow hiker. I am hoping for another non-speedy hiker in the group. I do a 25-30 min. mile.
Deborah Kogan Nov 24, 2012 at 03:27 PM

Hi Mary, my husband and I participated in the Umbria walking trip in October. There were participants from 50 through 80's in age. All were enthusiastic hikers, but we walked at different speeds. I think you would be comfortable on this trip as long as you have "staying power". Best, Debbie
Susan McCalley Feb 06, 2013 at 10:07 PM

Deborah..My husband and I are going on the Oct. 2013 Umbria Hiking trip & want to know how was the food, especially at the hotel for the group?


Deborah Kogan Aug 29, 2012 at 11:44 PM

We are four travelers from California: two from Santa Cruz and two from Southern California and we are excited about the trip and would like to hear from our fellow travelers.

Just a couple of weeks to go for this couple living near Boston. We've been to northern Italy but not this region. See you in Umbria! Judy and Charlie Brigham
