Enchanting Tuscany

Enjoy a wonderful 12 or 14 day tour to Italy and enchanting Tuscany. Blessed with beauty, wine and an unparalleled artistic legacy, Tuscany with its rolling landscape has long been considered the embodiment of rural chic, while its cities harbour a significant slice of the world's Renaissance art

Tuscany’s sublime countryside is the perfect destination for a driving holiday far away from the crowds, yet within easy reach of two of Italy’s most popular cities, Florence and Pisa. Hilltop towns overlook emerald hills cloaked in the vines or olive groves from which the region’s famous tipples and oils are produced and to the west of these enchanting landscapes is the Tuscan Riviera which is home to the popular beach resort of Viareggio.

Florence boasts more world-class art than many countries. Some people never venture beyond the region's crowded capital, but with some of Italy's most striking Gothic architecture (Siena), the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the walls of Lucca are all an easy trip away. Stupendous art, soul-aching countryside, stirring wine and lip-smacking cuisine is what this enviable region is all about. From the Etruscan marvels at Fiesole to the della Francesca's of Arezzo, from the towers of San Gimignano to markets of Pistoia, there are delights for even the most experienced travellers.
