Ciao! Tuscany is one of the greatest destinations in the world. The majestic scenery comes from the large tracts of agricultural land carefully placed amongst the rolling hills lined with cypress trees and crossed with the famous “stradebianche” or white colored dirt roads. It’s hard to say whether Tuscany is better known for its food or its wine but one can surely say that the combination of both together with the landscapes and the people make it the perfect vacation! This trip takes place May 19-27, 2027. There are only a few slots left. The total price for this land package is $4,750. This tour begins on Wednesday May 19th at 4.30pm at the hotel in Florence.
