Nestled in the heart of Italy, Tuscany encapsulates the quintessential spirit of the country through its panoramic landscapes, historic cities, scattered hill towns, and its exceptional culinary traditions. Known for its vast sunflower fields, lush vineyards of Chianti, and picturesque olive groves, Tuscany is a melting pot of natural beauty. It is home to Florence, famous for its masterpieces of Renaissance art and architecture such as Michelangelo's "David" statue, the Duomo basilica, and cheerful squares echoing with history. Tuscany is also renowned for its rich wine-making heritage producing some of the world's best wines, creating an inextricable link between the land and its culture. Every nook savors a slow pace of life, an exquisite Italian experience seeping in rich arts, history, and gastronomy.

Italy, nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea in Southern Europe, is a country known for its iconic contributions to art, history, fashion, food, and music. Home to an incredible 55 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the country is famed for monuments like the Colosseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the Vatican City - the smallest country in the world. Italy is the birthplace of the Renaissance, a period that produced artists and scholars such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo who left an unparalleled cultural legacy. Internationally renowned for its cuisine, Italy is the land of pizza, pasta, and world-class wine, inviting its visitors to indulge in its rich and diverse gastronomic culture. The breathtaking landscapes of the Amalfi Coast, the romantic waterways of Venice, and the rustic charm of Tuscany offer a compelling blend of sightseeing delights and leisurely pursuits.

Italy

When traveling to Italy, normal security precautions are recommended, as stated by both the Canadian and Australian governments. However, be mindful that the United States Government suggests exercising increased caution due to potential terrorism threats. Stay vigilant and aware of your surroundings at all times.

Tuscany is fantastic. We bumped into a citrus festival in one of the small cities...😁😊😊
Also, Florence is unbelievable. I couldn't stop staring at the cathedral. The Italian food is incredible and not just the pizzas. It's worth trying the pastas, pestos, olive oils, cheeses, and fruits as well.

It was exremely expensive for me, but it woth every penny. In some cities you have to be aware about the pickpocketers specially in crowded places. But other than that I couldn't recomend it enough.

I cycled from Florence to Pisa with Intrepid in September 2023 and it was a great trip. I loved visiting the small towns in Tuscany - the food was some of the best I had in Italy. The people in the smaller towns were lovely - a lot more welcoming than in the bigger cities. While some of the hills were challenging, the support van was helpful. I would recommend doing this tour whole heartedly. I felt very safe and comfortable no matter where we were and no matter the time of day. It was under CAD3,000 thanks to a sale and you could pay for some extra excursions. Some of the accommodation wasn’t the best but it was passable.
