The Best of Tuscany Tour is an amazing way to see the marvelous Tuscan countryside in just one day! Visit Siena, one of Italy's most enchanting cities and historical rival of Florence. We then move on to visit San Gimignano, one of Tuscany's most famous hilltop towns, it's 'skyline' dotted with 14 medieval towers. The last town, Monteriggioni, will charm you with its medieval walls and buildings,which are some of the best preserved in Italy.
We also take you to a private wine estate and farmhouse for an authentic Tuscan lunch served with the estate's wine. Try pecorino cheese with honey, ricotta with herbs and sun-dried tomatoes, a variety of Tuscan salami and hams, eggplant with fresh mushrooms, fresh barley with basil and tomatoes, bruschetta, as well as try the wine estate's Vin Santo with cantuccini. This typically Tuscan dessert consists of a glass of sweet dessert wine and crunchy almond biscuits. These are just some of the many dishes that may be served as the menu changes daily.
See one of our client's review of our ArtViva Best of Tuscany Tour:
"Having spent two weeks in Italy and doing a few tours through different companies I must say Artviva surpassed any other tour organization.
Our guide was Stefan and from start to finish he was the most insightful, funny and charismatic tour guide I have had the pleasure of touring with. Not only was he informative about the sights visited he went out of his way to make sure we were informed about the do's and don'ts of Italy to maximize our experience not only for the day of the tour but for our entire vacation.
The tour itself was great. Multiple city stops allowed us to see the what the Tuscan region had to offer. The winery stop was enjoyable and the meal provided was excellent.
I would most certainly reccomend Artviva tours to anyone looking for a top notch experience. Thank You Artviva for making our vacation that much more memorable."
