We are looking to go tour wineries in the tuscany region, best between 5-7 days. We would like to start in Rome, and end in Rome as well, might you have any recommendations here? We will be in Italy during October 2023

If you prefer to visit a tour winery in the Tuscany region, I suggest the European Dream tour. See the Best of Switzerland, Italy, and France in 11 days on an Expert-Led Guided Tour. It starts in Venice and ends in Paris. On day 3 of the tour, head into the Apennine Mountains and the peaceful landscapes of Tuscany. Meet your Local Host for a guided tour through the house of the Italian Renaissance diplomat and writer, Nicolo Machiavelli. Visit the Italian garden with views of the Florence Cathedral and the historic cellar. Savor a tasting of wines made from the vineyards surrounding the home, accompanied by delicious samples of local Tuscan fare.

We have just 7 days in Tuscany area - No extra days (between cruises) We will be in Tuscany 1st.Sept.2023 - Is there a 7/8 day Tuscany tour? Can you suggest who could assist.

Sounds like you have a wonderful holiday planned for next year! As you've a fairly tight timetable, Insight's Country Roads trip won't fit in well, since the closest departure is 3 September and it concludes on 11 September 2023. We would recommend a departure with one of our sister companies, Trafalgar, who operate the Rome and the Tuscan Highlights. This holiday commences 01 September, and while it's officially a nine-day trip, Day 8 sees you arriving into Rome, so you could depart that evening to join your cruise (although you would miss the Farewell Dinner). Alternatively, the Italian Holiday with Trafalgar may also suit - this is a 7-day trip commencing 01 Sep and runs from Rome to Rome, concluding on 07 September. Would either of those options suit you? Please let us know, we'd love to see you on board.

This tour was an opportunity to meet up with friends from New Zealand that we had met on a previous Insight tour. It was great fun to travel with them and Insight Vacations once again. The travel itinerary was packed full of exciting places to visit and experiences to enjoy. Hotels are of a high standard in central locations. Mitja was very knowledgeable providing lots of local info but was also good fun and kept things moving along at a manageable pace for all. I totally love Italy and wouldn't hesitate to there again with Insight Vacations!!Show more
