Hi !
About 90% of tourists usually head straight to Pisa and Florence – and yes, they’re amazing – but this tour offers something a little different. It’s a bit more off the beaten path (especially Volterra), and it's a real treat to explore the heart of Tuscany through these two charming villages.
Give this experience a try: you won’t regret it!
You’ll travel in a comfortable Mercedes van, with a driver/guide who will explain what you're seeing throughout the day.
The standard departure time is 8:30am, but it can be customized to fit your schedule.
