Our journey will begin with an in-depth walking tour of Florence.
A local guide will bring the city alive as we stroll by the likes of the Duomo, Piazza della Repubblica and the Ponte Vecchio.

This evening we’ll be free to explore Lucca at our leisure. Accommodation: Hotel La Luna (or similar)

A rocky coastline dotted with candy-coloured villages – today, we’ll turn our attention to the awe-inspiring Italian Riviera! After winding our way along this sublime stretch of shoreline, we’ll find ourselves in Cinque Terre: a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Having spent some time getting to know the area with our expert Tour Leader, we’ll return to Lucca for an evening spent at our leisure. Accommodation: Hotel La Luna (or similar)
Day 4 Lucca – Pisa – Volterra
Infamous and impossible to miss, the Leaning Tower of Pisa makes for a staggering first port of call today.
There will be plenty of time for photographing this iconic landmark as we explore the Campo dei Miracoli at our own pace.

Today we’ll make tracks to San Gimignano: home to a magnificent piazza, meandering stepped streets and some beautifully preserved architecture.
While we’re here, we’ll sample some exquisite creations of a local gelato maker – before we’re treated to an indulgent Tuscan wine tasting. Before the day concludes, we’ll pay a visit to medieval Siena – an open-air museum of Gothic architecture and home to the magnificent Duomo. After taking in the town’s historic sights on an orientation tour, we’ll journey onwards to Pienza – our home for the night. Accommodation: Hotel Corsignano (or similar)
Day 6 Pienza
Pienza’s timeless charm and enchanting rural backdrop makes for a serene spot to spend this morning exploring at our leisure.
