About this trip
Tuscany | Summer 2024
“There is nowhere like Tuscany. Its beauty is not only physical, but meta-physical. It has inspired the world’s finest artists and architects, composers and singers. No camera can capture its beauty, nor can any author describe it adequately.
Tuscany is one of the most beautiful areas in Italy, boasting many famous attractions such as the city of Florence, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, San Gimignano, and of course, incredible nature. The area is full of wineries, rolling hills, charming villages and historical and cultural sites.
