We start the day with a visit, by funicular, to the magnificent town of Orvieto perched on the cliff tops with breathtaking views over the surrounding vineyards. Later we head for the deserted town of Bagnoregio, once a thriving medieval town but now boasting just 15 residents! Early evening we arrive at our hotel for four nights set in the heart of the Tuscany region.

Tuscany (1 Days)
Today we experience essential Tuscany. We spend the morning exploring the Chianti region by bike, ending at the beautiful Castelo Meleto where we will taste the famous Chianti classic wines and enjoy a light lunch. This afternoon we return to Siena, home to Tuscany's most celebrated festival the Palio with its famous bareback horse race. Time for you to visit the Cathedral, Palazzo Pubblico and Piazza del Campo, arguably Italy's most picturesque piazza. Why not join us for a sunset dinner overlooking the rolling Tuscan hills? Magical!

Tuscany (1 Days)
We leave Siena this morning for Pisa and its famous leaning tower. We continue to Volterra and later this afternoon we stop at one of the most beautiful beaches on the Tuscan coast. Some time to swim in the Mediterranean sea, soak up the sun and relax.

Tuscany (1 Days)
Join our local guide this morning who takes us into the countryside to find fresh locally grown specialities. We visit Cafaggiolo castle built in the 14th C and considered one of the finest examples of Renaissance architecture. We arrive into Florence for our guided tour including the Basilica of Santa Croce, Giotto's belltower, Piazza della Signoria and the Duomo. See a demonstration of Florentine leathercraft. Why not join us for a traditional Tuscan meal on our last night in Siena?
