Day 5 – Montepulciano Pienza San Gimignano

Enjoy a ride through the Etruscan countryside and head to Florence visiting Montepulciano, stop and taste some of the local wine. Continue on to Pienza and try some pecorino cheese, then proceed to San Gimignano, the Manhattan of Italy, before arriving in Florence. Overnight in Florence.

Day 6 – Walking tour of Florence

Visit the Accademia Gallery, home to Florences most treasured works of art, Michelangelos David and the Slaves then walk to Piazza del Duomo where you can admire Florence's cathedral standing tall over the city with its magnificent Renaissance dome designed by Filippo Brunelleschi. The tour continues with a visit of the medieval quarters where Dante Alighieri and Beatrice lived then onto Piazza della Signoria, the hub of the social and political life of the city since the 13th century. Presiding over everything is Palazzo Vecchio, Florence's city hall, and the 14th-century Loggia dei Lanzi, a beautiful arched gallery housing an impressive collection of Renaissance and Roman sculptures. The tour will finally take you to the Ponte Vecchio, a Medieval colorful bridge over the Arno river, for a visit and some shopping. 

Day 7 – Day Trip Pisa and Lucca

Today your driver will pick you up directly at your accommodation for a visit to the splendid maritime city of Pisa to see the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Field of Miracles. Next, your driver will take you to Lucca, one of the most famous and glorious walled cities of Italy. Lucca was founded by the Etruscans but actually, its origins are far more remote. In 180 BC the town became a Roman colony and from this period it has retained the rectangular grid of the Roman street plan.

Lucca is a rather small town but there are many interesting places to visit here: the Romanesque cathedral of San Martino, the church of San Michele, the Basilica of San Frediano with its exquisite mosaics, and the birthplace of the composer Puccini whose house is now a small museum. The more energetic of you can also rent bikes to do a Wall Bike Tour along the city walls. If there is enough time, your driver can take you to visit one of the magnificent villas on the outskirts of the city. Years ago, Luccas most illustrious families and foreign residents had their summer homes in this area. The beautiful gardens of Villa Mansi built by the architect F. Juvarra is worth a visit as is Villa Torrigiani with its luxurious apartments and grounds.

Day 8 – Transfer to Venice

Proceed the drive north through the Apennine hills to the romantic and mysterious Venice. Here we will drop you off at Piazzale Roma and where you may arrange a taxi boat to pick you up and take you to your hotel.

Day 9 – Venice 4-hour walking tour

Orientation tour to discover the city's treasures nestled amid charming squares, bridges and narrow streets. From Saint Mark's Square passing by the Doge's Palace, you will venture into the heart of this unique labyrinth of lagoons for a genuine taste of Venice’s enchantment.

If you like, at the end of the tour, your local guide can leave you close to a glass factory near the square where you can admire a "mastro vetraio" giving a demonstration of his art. In the alternative, you can choose to take a relaxing gondola ride for 30/40 minutes at an extra cost. Please ask our office for a quote.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING TICKETS: 

Please be aware that tickets are guaranteed only when booked.

Booking tickets this year has become almost impossible and we’re struggling to find slots available.

The Vatican opens availability 2 months ahead the selected date and the Colosseum opens availability one month ahead. We will do our very best to get the admission tickets for you but if by this time we are not able to secure tickets, then those are not guaranteed.

We will have to relay to other suppliers but it’s not guaranteed.

You will be notified in case of lack of unavailability and offered an alternative solution for you to still have a wonderful experience during your visit; for example at the Colosseum, you may decide to only see the Roman Forum which is another good attraction and instead of the Vatican we can take you to see other beautiful churches in Rome.

We will be able to provide a certain answer regarding availability 7 weeks ahead for the Vatican and  4 weeks ahead for the Colosseum, in refer to the selected date of your tour. 

You will be then free to decide how to move forward with your tour, of course.

This may cause some inconveniences, but we wanted to inform you in advance and be transparent with our customers regarding this whole situation.

Thank you very much for understanding.
