What people love about Central Italy Tours for Seniors
- Discovering Florence
Great trip! The organizer worked with our arrival schedule to make first attraction timing to meet less stressful - appreciated that. The private tours of the Uffizi and Accademia Galleries were super - the guides were knowledgeable and open to any question. The day trip to Tuscany was memorable - the free time at Monteriggioni castle town on the hill and San Gimignano allowed us to explore on our own. The wine (and incredible tasting balsamic vinegar) tasing event at Poggio ai Laghi also in Monteriggioni was a superb and fun event. The presenter was both knowledgeable and entertaining. Well worth the trip!!
- Easy Pace Italy (Classic)
This was my first tour to Italy and it was fantastic. Our tour guide Caroline took care of all of us with our needs. Our driver Carlo was great as well making sure the coach was always clean. This was like taking a history class, but with wine
