Detailed Description
Of the diverse collection of Cinque Terre tours, this 13-day tour gives you all the art that Tuscany and Cinque Terre have to offer in unique ways that only Italy can showcase. Tuscany offers more than the Florentine museums that house some of the Renaissance’s most renowned names. The art of Tuscany is spread across the region itself, the rolling green hills, the earthy smell of vineyards and olive orchards that stretch to the horizon. Castle towers and walls surround towns and sit between homes as if they still belong. Find fresh made pasta that will melt in your mouth. Tuscany is also home of the nicely spiced Chianti Classico.
Let Tuscany open its door to you in Greve, the gateway to the Chianti region. The town of Castellina in Chianti and San Gimignano boast their large towers that rise high above the Tuscan hills. Florence provides insight into another world, where art from the likes of Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Raphael are housed. This is where Brunelleschi’s Duomo towers above the city and can be seen from almost anywhere. Tuscany is not just to be seen, but tasted; Tuscany is as much food and wine as it is rolling hills and Renaissance art.
Cinque Terre is five small towns situated along the Italian Riviera. The towns are separated by a hiking trail with the sweet smell of giant basil plants on one side, and the salty Mediterranean Sea on the other. The basil looks like trees and smell like sugar, while the water is almost see-through. You can also take a boat-taxi between towns; feel the sea breeze in your hair and the salt water on your lips. Or, the fastest way between towns is the local train. The rolling hills and museums are less than two hours away but Cinque Terre is in a world all its own.
Whether you love art in its traditional sense, or enjoy experiencing art as a lifestyle, this tour is made for you.
