Itinerary
Where we Visit : Florence, | Meeting Location : Airport
We have arranged for you to stay at one of Florence's top-rated four-star hotels, located on the Ponte Vecchio Bridge. The area is renowned for its beautiful jewelry shops. It is situated in the heart of Florence, just a 10-minute walk from the Duomo, Boboli Gardens, Santa Croce church (where Michelangelo is buried), and many other delightful streets filled with some of the best shopping opportunities in Italy.
Once you arrive, you will have the remainder of the day to relax and enjoy the enchanting atmosphere of Florence as you prepare for an extraordinary private tour of the city the following day.
You'll spend the night in Florence, and we can't wait for you to experience this magnificent city.
Where we Visit : Florence,
During the tour, you'll visit the Medici doors, palaces, and the stunning marble works throughout the city. You'll conclude your time at the Accademia Gallery, where Michelangelo's David is housed. You'll then have the rest of the afternoon to spend at your leisure. You can visit the Uffizi galleries, which contain numerous other works of art, enjoy fantastic shopping, or walk through the Boboli Gardens. We also offer cooking experiences in Florence and many optional tours. However, trying to do only a little is essential as Florence is like an open-air museum, and there's so much to experience just by walking!
The rest of the day will be yours to enjoy in Florence!
Where we Visit : Pisa, Lucca,
We will head first to Pisa, which is famous for its leaning tower in the square of Miracles. Of course, Pisa is touristy, but it's touristy for a reason: It is beautiful and it is a lot of fun to visit Pisa, even if just for the photos! Here, you can have a chance to climb the leaning tower if you wish. However, let us know in advance, as tickets are subject to availability!
Following time in Pisa, we will continue to Lucca, the walled city where you will enjoy free time for lunch and walk through this incredible medieval town. Lucca is also a fantastic center for shopping, music, and beautiful markets. You will have time for shopping before we continue to our final destination for the day, Castellina in Chianti, in the heart of the Chianti region, where you will be based for the next three nights at the beautiful Palazzo Squarcialupi, a terrific hotel in the center of town with a swimming pool, overlooking the vineyards.
The rest of the night and dinner will be at leisure.
Where we Visit : San Gimignano,
After our time at the winery, we will head to San Gimignano, one of the most beautiful towns in Tuscany. This town offers spectacular views of the valley. You will have some free time to shop around and climb the towers. San Gimignano is also famous for its gelato, so take advantage of the chance to try some of the best in Italy.
In the evening, we will return to Castellina in Chianti for dinner at leisure and overnight at the hotel.
Where we Visit : Siena, Montepulciano, Montalcino
In the afternoon, we will return to Castellina in Chianti for dinner at leisure and overnight at the hotel.
Where we Visit : Monteriggioni, Florence,
If you're not continuing your journey with us, it's time to say "Arrivederci" (until we meet again), but not goodbye to Florence! However, if you'd like to travel south to Rome and the Amalfi Coast or north to Venice or Milan and the Lakes and Dolomite mountains in Italy's incredible north, just let us know. We'll do our best to help you plan your next adventure in Italy!
