Best places to start your Tuscany tour
Most of our travelers kick off their Tuscany tours from Florence - about 33% start here in the Renaissance city. Rome comes in as the next popular choice, while Pisa and Montecatini share third place and Venice fills the fifth spot. You'll want to plan ahead - our booking patterns show most people lock in their Tuscany trips around 100 days before travel, just over 3 months out. This early planning really matters in summer when the good tours fill up fast. Our guests often mix in special activities like cooking in old farmhouses, visits to Montecatini's thermal spas and guided walks through less-visited hill towns. The agriturismo stays are a real highlight - you get to live the day-to-day pace of rural Tuscan life while enjoying meals and wine made right there on the estate. We've found May and late September hit that sweet spot for weather and crowds, with nice temperatures and lots of local festivals and harvest events happening.
Discover Tuscany tours for every budget
Our popular 3-day Florence packages work great for travelers watching their budget, mixing city visits with wine experiences in Chianti. You can stay in Florence and take guided day trips to explore the countryside. People really like tasting Chianti Classico, Brunello and also Super Tuscans at local estates, paired with aged balsamic and truffle oils. Many appreciate having free time to visit Florence's museums independently while getting expert guidance during wine tours. The guides make a big difference - Veronica and Lorenzo get mentioned often for their deep knowledge of both Florence and wine production. These tours connect well with younger visitors too; groups in their 20s tell us it's an ideal first taste of Tuscany without breaking the bank.
Our luxury tours center on exclusive wine experiences and villa stays in restored Tuscan estates. Top picks include private cooking classes in centuries-old properties paired with premium Brunello di Montalcino tastings. Travelers particularly enjoy intimate sessions at family vineyards in Bolgheri, where exceptional Super Tuscans are produced. Several tours mix in visits to glass workshops in Colle Val d'Elsa and private access to medieval tower houses. We're quite particular about accommodation - think converted palazzos overlooking Chianti's rolling hills. Our guests often mention loving how cultural visits blend with indulgent moments, like going truffle hunting before unwinding at thermal spa resorts.

Where can I find authentic Tuscan experiences away from the tourist crowds?

What are some unique ways to experience local culture beyond wine tasting?
Get your hands dirty at a cooking class in a place like Fattoria San Donato where you'll learn to make pasta the traditional way using local ingredients and ancient grains.
