What does SHARED TOuR mean in your descriptions? How many people does this mean? I do not want to visit sites with large groups of people.

"Shared tours" means that the itinerary includes small group experiences (usually around 20 participants), and you will be joining other guests during the tours. If you feel this may not be the right fit for you, we kindly suggest looking for private tour options that better suit your preferences.

Does Day 4 or 5 include the Val D Orcia? Is there cooking lessons we can enrol during free day in Siena? Does your tour also offer additional day tours to other areas like Voltera and Luca?

Yes it is possible to explore on your own during days off: the best tip is: have a look at Tuscanydailytours.it , to have an idea about available excursion and activities. As concerning Val d'Orcia, the visit is included, but i really do not know on what day, because, as you can check on the itinerary, the order of visits may change depending on the day of departure of the tour

How much extra per night is it to upgrade to 4* hotel

by checking availability on this tour page, you can see both rates, with 3 or 4* hotel accommodation.

We had such a lovely time on this trip. Everything went smoothly and Simone, Luigi, Martina and everyone we dealt with could not have been more helpful. Montecatini Terme was a lovely little town and a good place to be based for the week for our Tuscany excursions. They were extremely accommodating even taking us to our accommodation in Lucca at the end of the tour. Would definitely book either them again - it couldn’t have been better!Show more
