Tuscany Tours for Young Adults
Ready for a Tuscan adventure? Florence’s streets invite long strolls, the kind where you lose track of time, and driving through Tuscan countryside in a vintage tuk tuk brings unexpected joy. Wine and olive oil tastings in scenic settings educate your palate, and San Gimignano's towers and world-famous gelato make quite the combination. A hands-on cooking class ties everything together nicely, meaning you’ll have to go back to learn even more.

In Florence spend evenings around Via dei Benci where bars and restaurants buzz with activity. Walking tours followed by aperitivo give you both history and local culture.

Everything easy enough to find and navigate. The wine tours and tastings were included which made it very cost-effective."
