What people love about Tuscany Tours for Seniors
- Tuscan Treats
Very good tour. Good value for the money. Loved all the sights and off the beaten path adventures.
- Rome and Tuscan Highlights
The optional first meal at vineyard was a little pricey but the food was good there was free flowing house made wine that was good Nd the dancing party atmosphere was fun worth the expense. The be my guest dinner at another family owned vineyard was great. The food was delicious and again plenty of wine. The experience shopping and cooking with the chef near Florence was amazing. They had us make ravioli, salad and an appetizer. The wine tasting was delicious and they had unique sparkling wines. Luckily we did do all the cooking. The food was fantastic and the assortment was amazing. The best part of the trip were the people and these events. The scenery was beautiful, the cities and town architecture was great. Plenty of time on the bus but this trips offers a chance to stay behind if you like. The weather was hot and sunny I wish I booked in Sept to November but really enjoyed the trip. I was disappointed that the hotel didn't have a pool.
The hilltop towns were all incredibly beautiful! Our guide Esther was very organized, fun and made our trip as comfortable as possible. The pace was perfect with a mix of guided tours, classes and demonstrations with enough free time to pursue our own interests. The location of Pieve a Salti was incredible as were the highlights of the Ricasoli Wine Estate and Brolio castle and the Fattoria San Donato for the pasta making class. The only caution is that the hotel rooms are comfortable but are in very old buildings that have been renovated.
