Another trip to Tuscany, to which our clients have been going for years. The varied program will provide an opportunity to get to know the "many faces" of this beautiful region of Italy, which has delighted and inspired for centuries. What inspires the greatest admiration are the magnificent landscapes of picturesque hills with cypress trees and towns, with a wonderful play of lights. This is what it is like in Val d'Orcia. On the route is also Volterra, the oldest history of which is associated with the mysterious Etruscans, and the newest with ... vampires from the "Twilight" saga, the romantic ruins of San Galgano, the Sant'Antimo Abbey beautifully integrated into the landscape. Magnificent Florence is a place where you can come back a thousand times, and Pisa will always charm you with marble wonders on a green lawn. Tuscany is also the beautiful Tyrrhenian Sea, where the tiny Pietrasanta lies, a mecca for sculptors for centuries. Tuscany is also a land of wine and good food, so you cannot miss regional products at a typical fattoria dinner. Convenient accommodation schedule, comfortable coaches, professional pilots and the traditionally excellent atmosphere in the group guarantee a successful trip and many wonderful memories. Route in Italy: approx. 2,300 km.
