Tours of Tuscany: Activities to Enchant You

The tours of Tuscany are among the most sought after destinations in the world.  The popularity of region was helped by the best-selling novel “Under the Tuscan Sun.” Now everyone wants to experience renewal and rebirth that comes from this beautiful part of the world.

There are as many ways to tour this region of Italy as there are people to experience them.  There is truly something for everyone “under the Tuscan sun”.   A sample itinerary includes a hotel in the historic center of Florence where you can walk to see the art of the Renaissance.  You can visit Chianti and sample the wine of the same name, sold around the world.  Siena is a must-see locale with its stunning gothic cathedral.

Large tour groups are common all around Italy and are identified by their familiar colored umbrella held high so that no one straggles from the group.  However there are many smaller, more personal tour companies that specialize in intimate groups.  These companies can gain access to more authentic local hot spots like cafes and restaurants where a large group could not be accommodated.

Like the large tour companies, smaller firms can take you anywhere you want to go and they’ll provide a custom presentation along the way such as slide shows preceding new locations.  A one-week tour like this costs approximately $3,400. for the land costs of hotel, most meals, and entrance fees to museums, galleries and monuments.

There are times when travelers wish to remain in the country to make other plans after the structured tour is completed and most tour companies will help you with transportation to your next destination.    Whatever method you chose, a large tour company or a small one, make sure you bring your camera for tours of Tuscany because the sights are too lovely to pass by.
