Tuscany is truly the best of Italy, with stunning cities, artistic masterpieces, extraordinary landscapes, and incredible food and wine! It’s the perfect setting for an enriching yet relaxing holiday.
Our home base will be charming Viareggio, a small resort town with wide sandy beaches, lovely parks and pine forests. Relax at the seaside, shop along the lively beachfront promenade, and explore the beautiful countryside.
The town is close to Florence, Siena, Pisa and Lucca, all of which we will see on our tour. We will also visit stunning Cinque Terre and medieval Bolgheri, taste incredible Chianti wines (this region produces some of the best wines in Italy), sample delicious local specialties—and bask in the beauty of this incredible region.
We offer 2 hotels for this program. The Hotel President is a four-star hotel overlooking the seafront promenade and the beach. Facilities include a pleasant lounge, bar and restaurant, with comfortable, well-appointed guestrooms. The Grand Hotel Royal is a four-star hotel combining classic elegance with luxurious service overlooking the seafront promenade and the beach in classic rooms along with a large swimming pool and lush gardens. En route to Viareggio we will spend an overnight in Rome— “The Eternal City”, including a half day city tour, lunch at a local restaurant on the day of arrival, and dinner at the hotel.
