Highlights
This hiking tour leads you into the heart of the Val d’Orcia, considered the most picturesque area of Tuscany, famous for its rolling hills, cypress-lined roads, and timeless countryside. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this landscape represents the iconic Tuscan postcard known worldwide. What truly sets this experience apart is the chance to walk the same paths made famous by Ridley Scott’s movie Gladiator. The unforgettable scenes of Russell Crowe walking through golden grain fields were filmed just outside the village of Pienza, a detail still unknown to many travelers. During an easy and scenic hike, suitable for most fitness levels, you will enjoy authentic Tuscan views far from the crowds, while learning about the land and local traditions. The tour also includes time in Pienza, the ideal Renaissance city created by Pope Pius II, where art, architecture, and local flavors—especially the famous Pecorino di Pienza cheese—complete a unique blend of nature, cinema, and Tuscan culture.

About Arezzo
Arezzo is a hill city in eastern Tuscany, with a sloping medieval square, Piero della Francesca's frescoes and a long goldsmithing tradition.
Arezzo climbs a hill in eastern Tuscany, an Etruscan and Roman town with a medieval core. Piazza Grande, a sloping square lined with palaces, loggias and the apse of a Romanesque church, hosts a jousting tournament, the Giostra del Saracino, held in June and September. Petrarch was born here in 1304, and so was the painter and writer Giorgio Vasari, in 1511. Scenes of the film Life Is Beautiful were shot in the old town.
