Individual tours
through Tuscany 2024 & 2025

Magnificent Renaissance cities, excellent wines, art, cypress-lined avenues, rolling hills and medieval villages… These are clichés, but they are also reality, and yet they are far from being all that you will experience on your tour of Tuscany. Of course, cities such as Florence with the Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi Gallery, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and the Medici Palace are just as much a part of it as Siena Cathedral – a masterpiece of Gothic architecture made of white and black marble.

Highlights such as the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the medieval old town of Lucca, which is surrounded by a mighty city wall, or the impressive towers of San Gimignano are almost a must for culturally interested visitors.

What makes your tour of Tuscany unforgettable is precisely this mixture of unique art and cultural experiences, culinary delights, traditional workshops where products made of ceramics, terracotta or alabaster are still made using ancient techniques. Would you like to delve deeper into the history of Tuscany? Then follow in the footsteps of the enigmatic Etruscans, who left behind a wealth of stone evidence in the form of necropolises and wall remains, as well as sculptures, grave goods and wall paintings.

Tuscany is also a real treat for nature lovers. On your tour, you can look forward to numerous hiking trails through the Chianti region, where culinary delights are also not neglected.

The varied and contrasting landscapes of the island of Elba and the lagoon of Ortobello are a treat for the eyes and soul, as are the beautiful coastal walks in the Maremma. If you want to get up high, you should not miss the alpine landscape of the Apuan Alps, where numerous circular hiking trails and routes invite you to explore.

If you prefer flat terrain, you will probably enjoy hiking along the numerous lakes in Tuscany, which not only offer beautiful views and bird watching, but also fantastic spots for a picnic.

The cuisine of Tuscany is simple, rustic and extremely tasty. Bread, and unsalted bread at that, plays a major role here and will accompany you everywhere on your round trip through Tuscany. Fettunta or one of the many crostini variations are often served as a small greeting from the kitchen. Soups are also popular – rich ones such as ribollita or pappa al pomodoro. Vegetable soups such as carabaccia, zuppa di porri or fagioli are also extremely delicious.

Compared to the rest of Italy, the pasta dishes are rather modest. Pappardelle, for example, are delicious – wide ribbon noodles that are often eaten with meat sauces such as game, hare or even rabbit. Meat dishes are generally very popular in Tuscany. Whether boiled, roasted or braised, as bistecca or arista alla fiorentina, ossobuco, stracotto or peposo – the range of meat dishes is immense.

This also applies to vegetables, with beans and black cabbage, cavolo nero, being the frontrunners here and used in numerous dishes. Why not enjoy a picnic in the countryside? With pecorino, finocchiona, an aromatic fennel salami, cantuccini and a good bottle of Chianti or Montepulciano in the basket, this becomes a culinary experience.

On our Tuscany tours, you can of course also book guided tours of the most famous cities and culturally significant sites. However, we also want you to get to know and understand the country and its people better. That is why we have selected experiences that provide a glimpse behind the scenes.

For example, you can explore the world of perfume by visiting the Villa of Lorenzo Villoresi, who is considered a pioneer of Italian niche perfumery. Follow the path of the scent from the plant to the finished perfume in the bottle. Or discover the tasty world of Tuscan cuisine on a guided tour in Lucca – a tour of pure pleasure!
