Stay in one place and explore Tuscany! Rolling landscapes, savory wines, delicious food and stunning architecture. This can only be Tuscany. Unpack once on this journey among Italy’s most charming towns. Included tours and free time.
You’re an on-the-go traveler. You don’t want to miss a thing, so walking and standing for longer periods of time (1-2 hours) isn’t a big deal. You can navigate hills and uneven ground, climb into various modes of transportation (tuk-tuk, cable car, zodiac, etc.), and could possibly anticipate changes in elevation. You can expect some longer days balanced with free time to recharge or set out on your own adventure.
