FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about guided hiking near Rome and other regions of Italy answered:
When are tours offered?
Urban hikes run daily.
Weekend Specials run Saturday and Sunday.
Note that they are by online booking only. Tours run, whether we get 1 booking, or 20.
I'd like to join but I don't have a car. What should I do?
You don’t need a car to join our Urban hikes and hikes that are accessible by train.
For our experiences that require transport, it’s good to know that we facilitate car pooling if possible. However, we recommend also checking out this post for options for those that do not own a car.
Carpooling & Shared Travel Costs
For hikes accessible only by car, we encourage participants to carpool. This helps reduce costs, environmental impact, and makes the experience more social.
Cost Sharing: It is standard practice to share fuel and highway toll expenses with the other passengers. Costs are calculated based on the number of payable seats in the car, regardless of whether the car is fully occupied.
Calculation Method: We use the Michelin Route Planner to estimate total travel costs, including fuel and tolls. Costs are calculated from the meeting point to the hike location.
Payment: Payment is made directly to the driver on the day of the hike. We do not handle these payments ourselves.
Transparency: Estimated costs for each experience are displayed on the hike page. These are indicative and may vary slightly depending on actual conditions.
Note: This is a cost-sharing arrangement, not a transportation service. Drivers are volunteers, and no formal transport service is provided.
Is it a big group on your hikes?
Our community hikes and daily tours are small group experiences only, with a maximum of 10 people. For private events (e.g. team building) and collaborations with universities and institutions, we can also cater to bigger groups.
Do you offer student discounts?
For some experience, we do offer student discounts – simply get in touch to learn more.
What is your cancellation policy?
We will send you a full refund if you cancel 48 hours before the tour begins.
