Upon arrival in Florence you will take the drive to your home base for the next six nights. You’ll be surrounded by lovely Tuscan countryside, in a perfect location for sightseeing. Your rental car gives you the flexibility to take day trips to the destinations you've always dreamed of.
Start your Tuscan adventure off by paying a visit to explore the city of Florence, capital of the Tuscany region. Stroll down the cobblestoned lanes, through the majestic squares, and across the ancient bridges that are sprinkled throughout the city.

Enjoy the first part of your day exploring the historical city of Lucca. Enclosed within imposing Renaissance Walls, this historical city is the perfect picturesque day trip.
In the early evening, make your way to Villa Casagrande for your included wine tour and tasting.
You'll have the morning at your leisure. Take a drive through the country or to Arezzo, one of the wealthiest cities in Tuscany. This charming city is stunning yet compact, being ideal for a short half-day of exploring.
Upon returning to the Villa Casagrande, enjoy a fun, hands-on lesson in pizza making!
Take the drive to Pisa today, where you can see its famous leaning tower up close. Spend some time at the famous Knights' Square where you can discover remnants of its Renaissance past, and explore the Gothic buildings that are sprinkled through the city.
Today consider taking a drive to Siena, one of the most beautiful medieval towns of Italy. Take a stroll to the magnificent Piazza del Campo, then pay a visit to one of the most breathtaking examples of Romanseque-Gothic churches: the Duomo in Siena. This stunning building will have you in awe from the intricate exterior to the colorful interior.
Depart Italy from Florence airport (FLR). Be sure to return your rental car to the rental area before proceeding to check-in.
