There’s a rhythm to walking that’s perfectly matched to Europe. It’s in the cobbled alleys of Lisbon, the sun-dappled vineyard trails in the Douro Valley, and the hidden staircases of hillside villages along Italy’s Amalfi Coast. When you explore on foot, you don’t just see Europe—you feel it, taste it, and live it.
CI Azumano Travel designs journeys for those who want to move, experience, and indulge. This isn’t about racing from landmark to landmark. It’s about pacing your trip so you can linger at a market stall, pause at a scenic overlook, and follow your senses wherever they lead.
The Experience: Footsteps That Lead to Flavor
Some of Europe’s best experiences can’t be reached by tour bus. A bakery in Porto that opens for just three hours a day. A Provençal trail that leads to a family-run café tucked in the lavender hills. A hillside trattoria in the Cinque Terre that only reveals itself after a long, winding walk.
We help travelers build itineraries where movement enhances indulgence. You might spend your morning hiking through olive groves near Lake Garda, then settle in for a leisurely lunch with fresh pasta and local wine. Or start your day with a pastry class in Paris, followed by a walk along the Seine to catch sunset at a rooftop bistro.
Our advisors know how to layer experiences that feel organic and immersive. Whether you want to walk from village to village in Catalonia or just be sure your hotel is steps away from the best espresso in Rome, we make it happen.

If You Go: Tips for a Food-Focused Walking Journey
– Comfort is key: Bring well-worn walking shoes and stylish layers for long days on foot.
– Plan your pace: Our advisors can mix active days with restful ones so your itinerary always feels energizing.
– Eat what you see: Street food, bakeries, and farm-to-table cafés are part of the discovery. Don’t skip them.
– Stay flexible: Some of the best meals and views aren’t in the guidebooks. Leave space in your day (and your appetite) for the unexpected.

Some of the most memorable journeys aren’t just about where you go, but how you get there—and what you taste along the way. Europe rewards the traveler who slows down and follows their feet.
