the walk

This walk takes you from a quiet village, its main square full of elderly vermouth swiggers, via a pretty 16th century parish church up to a little castle on a rather splendid conical hill. At the end you’ll have the option of visiting a well-preserved 1920s tram and seeing some church ruins.

Please tell us which (major) currency you want to use. If you turn up on the day with more people than agreed, no problem, but we will charge you a supplement per extra person on top of the total fixed price (this calculator will help you work out what that will be). If you turn up with less people than agreed, the total fixed price will generally not be discounted. Try to talk to us in advance in either case so we don't have to attempt mental arithmetic in public.
