Tour Operator
Company owners Gene and Jo Ann Taylor have a genuine passion for active living. By that, we mean not living life sitting on a couch and watching it go by on a television screen, or staying so close to home that we could only dream about what the rest of the world was like. Always adventuresome and active, we decided to make it our life’s work. So in 1989 Jo Ann quit Nike and Gene left a national marketing and management company and together we founded The Walking Connection. From the beginning our concept was to create a community of like-minded people who enjoy walking, hiking, being outside, and for many, traveling and exploring some of the world’s greatest destinations by foot, kayak, hot air balloon or occasional zip line.
Being active and enjoying life is at the very core of who we are and what we do. Our company is not simply about fitness, exercise and being healthy. Though those are a big part, we are also about enjoying the great wines of the world, the unique flavors of local cuisine, meeting people of different cultures and taking long walks, just to see what’s around the next corner.
We are also rooted in adventure travel. We lead exciting journeys that balance active exploration with exceptional comfort. We criss-cross the globe searching for just the right places to visit and then create amazing itineraries that provide our traveling guests with authentic experiences. Whether walking through a bustling city market, the narrow passages of a rural village or hiking to a distant mountain top, we connect our guests to each other as well as to the local flavor, culture, cuisine and of course, great walks that are in nearly every corner of the world.
Walking is the connection…
…to an enriched lifestyle.
Walking is the connection…
…to the greatest destinations in the world!
As established leaders in the providing healthy living information, especially geared toward fitness walking, training and hiking, in 1992 we added a new component to our list services, which at the time was just beginning to gain popularity in the fitness, lifestyle and travel industries – active adventure travel. Our recipe for success is pretty simple. We take the existing active lifestyles of our clients, learn about their personal preferences and combined them with our professional planning skills to to create and personally lead remarkable travel adventures. Our goal is to treat every guest as special. And we do our best to make you a lifelong customer and guest by working tirelessly to earn your trust, over and over again, year after year.

Itinerary:
Please note that the details of this itinerary are subject to change. Many of the planned activities are organized according to availability, events or seasonal dates, appropriate weather conditions, schedules of hosts, or the discretion of our guides. We make every effort to provide the experience described in the itinerary with the understanding that some things may change.
Activity Level:
This tour is one of our Self-Guided Walking Adventures, rated easy to moderate with challenging sections. Walks average 4-6 miles per day, with longer options on some days. In this region defined by striking geography, elevation gains and losses average 900 feet daily, with one day including a descent of 1,550 feet. There are steep ascents and descents on terrain that includes loose gravel; steep, high, and ancient stone steps; old stone mule tracks; and asphalt. The Path of the Gods drops sharply on one side and is not recommended for anyone suffering from severe vertigo. A walking stick is highly recommended even if you do not usually use one. On almost every walk in this exuberant Mediterranean destination, you enjoy gorgeous coastal views of the Amalfi Coast, the Isle of Capri, and the Bay of Naples, also taking in evidence of history stretching from the Phoenicians and Greeks, through Roman and medieval periods, up through the 19th and 20th centuries.
