How to Book

Following the Via Francigena is a special experience.

Let’s talk about how we get you there.

1

Choose your tour and submit a booking request

Browse our collection of Via Francigena walking or cycling tours and find the perfect adventure to match your travel style. Once you have selected a tour, simply submit a booking request with some basic details and let our team of travel specialists begin the booking process.

2

Confirm availability with a travel advisor

After receiving your booking request and answering any trip specific questions, one of our travel advisors will connect with our local team in Italy to check for availability and provide you with a quote.

3

Submit your traveller details

Provided that your travel dates are available and you find the trip quote agreeable, you will fill out an online traveller details form for all members of your travel party. With that information we will be able to create an invoice for your deposit payment.

4

Pay deposit

Using our secure online payment platform, travellers can pay their trip deposit in their own local currency using a credit card. Alternatively, payment can be made via bank transfer.

5

Final confirmation

After receiving your deposit payment, our team will complete a final confirmation with the local team in Italy to ensure that the booking has been secured. Final payment for the booking will be requested 64 days prior to the trip start date.

6

Book flights

Once you have been notified by a travel advisor that your booking has been confirmed, you will be given the green light to go ahead and book your flights for the trip. Airfare is notoriously difficult to alter or get refunded, which is why we save this step until after the trip has been fully confirmed by our local team.

Trip documents

You will receive all of your pre-trip information and trip documents via email 30 days before the start of your Via Francigena tour. This will include things like hotel lists, vouchers, GPS information and more.
