• Day 5 - Lucca

  Today we enjoy a half-day visit to the beautiful Tuscan town of Lucca on our included excursion. Hidden behind imposing Renaissance walls, the town still follows the layout set by the former Roman colony founded in 180 BC. We include a guided walking tour of the city to take in some of the key highlights, before having free time to explore at leisure.

  Meals - Breakfast, Dinner

• Day 6 - Free Time or San Gimignano & Siena

  Relax and enjoy a day at leisure exploring Montecatini Terme or alternatively join our optional excursion to the hilltop town of San Gimignano and picturesque Siena. We discover both of these wonderful locations with a local guide.

  San Gimignano is a medieval town that owes its famous skyline to the rival families who tried to outdo each other by building taller and taller towers. Of the original 76 towers, only 13 still survive today.

  Set on three hills, Siena is drawn together by winding alleyways and steep steps, whilst the Piazza del Campo stands at its heart, and the Duomo and Santa Maria della Scala serve as additional cultural landmarks. En-route, take in the stunning views over the rolling Tuscan countryside from the comfort of your coach seat.

  Meals - Breakfast, Dinner

• Day 7 - Florence

  We leave Montecatini and make our way to the Renaissance city of Florence. An included guided walking tour reveals many of the stories behind the buildings and personalities that have shaped the history of this magnificent city.

  You will later have time at leisure to explore the endless historic sights, see the shops in and around the centuries-old Ponte Vecchio, or even have your portrait painted by one of the street artists who usually gather in the square next to the medieval Duomo.

  We continue to our overnight hotel in northern Italy.
