TRAVEL WITH VERDE NATURA, MORE THAN 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

RHYTHM
Change your rhythm, slow down, be outdoor in contact with the elements that revitalizing senses. Really observe, not just glance rapidly; feel at last, distinguish sounds in the silence; touch the living nature; real and natural odours and perfumes… And find your rhythm, that of your breath and of your thoughts. Share with us and with many others the pleasure of being protagonists of your own holidays passing through streets and paths, on foot or by bike to go towards new meetings or experiences or, as it always happens, to find yourselves.

HOW TO TRAVEL WITH VERDE NATURA
Freedom of choice among different kinds of holiday:
Guided tours: if you want to meet other people, sharing with you the pleasure of a holiday and the security of a guide, deep connoisseur of the places and of the itinerary, who will assist you in every moment. It’s a group tour, but there will be at most 20 people and you will have many free moments to have your space and your own moments.
Family guided tours: as well as what already said for the group tour, you will have the certainty to meet other families with children sharing your needs. Your kids will find friends to play with, have fun and sharing the experience with other contemporaries.
Self-guided tours: the desire of the greatest freedom, but with some facilities which make your holiday unique and without problems;
indeed, you could count on the luggage transfer from a stage to the following, a texted itinerary, far from traffic, described in the slightest particulars and an assistance telephone number 7/7 for any problem. Many self-guided tours are advisable, for their characteristics, to families with kids: check the technical characteristics.
Taylor made tours for pre-determined groups: if you are a group of at least 10 people, we can create or modify any suggestion on the basis of your specific needs and offer you a travel in good condition.

BIKE TOURS
The whole Europe by bike, in general one week’s travel, where the slow rhythm of the bicycle will let you taste every moment of your itinerary.

TREKKING
One week’s travel in Italy, Europe and North Africa at the rhythm of your steps. Trekking, not only as activity to do in mountain or hill, but also and above all as an alternative way, more human, health and interesting to visit places.

TREKKING IN NORTH AFRICA
The programs in North Africa are organised in collaboration with a French agency, availing itself only of suitably entrained local people, in possession of all the requirements to work safely. Going out of classic itineraries and entering deserts and rural zones, these travels imply you are adaptable, but you will be rewarded with amazing landscapes and incredible meetings.

WEEK END
Itineraries lasting a week end to keep fit and enjoy wonderful landscapes, cultures and foods of the hidden Italy, outside classic circuits. Many ideas to prolong the pleasure of cycling and trekking during the whole year.

HOTEL, GUESTHOUSE ETC…
We choose carefully all the hotels, the farm houses, the bed & breakfasts and the guesthouses where you are going to spend the nights of your holiday. We try to do our best to find characteristic arrangements, which are not too big, but with local architecture; in some destinations, however, we must use big hotel chains, as they guarantee suitable standards. What we always guarantee are bedrooms with facilities, suitable cleaning and a good quality-price relationship. For some trekking we use shelters and tents: some renunciations on comfort, but in return the discovery of very beautiful places, otherwise impossible to visit. In the technical sheet of each travel you will find clearly the details of the arrangements, fundamental information to keep in mind when you choose your travel.

MEALS
Our travel may include only breakfast, half board or full board. Dinners may be either in the hotel or in partner restaurant and include regional menus most of times. Lunches are always picnic. During some trekking meal are prepared by a cook at the shelter or at the camp.

LUGGAGE TRANSFER
In all our holidays, in order to let you travel quiet and without any weight on your shoulders or on your bike, we move your luggage from one hotel to the following. It is sufficient to leave your luggage at the reception after breakfast and you will find them at the following hotel in the afternoon.

ROAD BOOK
People who choose a self-guided tour will be given a road book, with the detailed description of the itinerary, maps, useful information on the route and touristic information on the region you are crossing.

BICYCLES
You can bring your own bicycles or hire them when you make the booking. The bicycles on hire are generally 21-gear lady/gent city bikes and sometimes mountain bikes. For children we have baby’s chair, trailers, cammellino, trail gator (it do a tandem adult/child) or child bikes. Bikes are usually delivered at the first hotel and collected at the last one. All hired bikes are equipped with a lateral bag and a padlock.

DIFFICULTY LEVEL
To help you choose the fittest holiday, we have individuated a difficulty scale going from 1 to 5 stars and we have furnished the presentation of every travel with a detailed technical sheet. In case of doubt, please contact us: that’s an opportunity to know each other and to have advise from those who have texted the itinerary.

ASSISTENCE
Whatever travel you choose, be aware there is always on place either a person from Verde Natura or one of his correspondents, ready to solve your problems at the phone through a number working 7/7 or, if necessary, to intervene personally.
