On the rare occasions when we must cancel a trip, we will notify you as soon as possible before departure. In this event, if you would like to choose another trip, no transfer fee will apply. However, we reserve the right to cancel any trip for any reason at any time before departure. In such a case, refund of any payments received will constitute full settlement with the guest.

Guests who fail to provide signed Italiaoutdoors" Release of Liability and Assumption of All Risks" and personal information forms prior to departure will not be allowed to participate on the trip and the cancellation policy applies.
RATING OUR PROGRAMS- Each program is designed to allow varied fitness level and interest levels to participate, we have a menu of routes that can be selected. Fitness, amount of effort, and how much you push yourself is up to you. Italiaoutdoors has two specific styles of travel and program design.
- Classic style - on these trips we use a base hotel during our stay. The hotel base can change during the week based on the area we are exploring. These programs may involve a vehicle transfer to a start point or transfer from a finish point, and most routes are looped.
- Gran Tour style - these are trek or stage tours. This is the grand adventure and our preferred style. The idea is to cover as much ground as possible and change our settings. We will change hotels every night expect on our rest day, (mid way through the program we offer one easy or rest day).
If you are not sure which style fits you just drop us a line. Remember we do not have more than 8 persons on a trip unless it is a private group or special program then there could be up to 12 persons.
