Italy, 9 Days · Tailor-made by car
Tour from Umbria to Tuscany
A journey to the very best of Italy: its World Heritage cities, its characterful medieval villages, its idyllic landscapes, its priceless works of art and its mouthwatering cuisine
Few destinations in the world manage to trigger so many emotions as the regions of Umbria and Tuscany do! Come and enjoy this fascinating self-drive tour that meanders through UNESCO World Heritage Sites framed among undulating hills and sweeping fields of sunflowers, vineyards and olive trees. An itinerary that combines major cities such as Rome, Perugia, Siena and Florence with some of the most characterful villages in the Italian countryside. Discover one of the most famous routes in Italy which fuses art and architecture with vibrant local festivals, heavenly landscapes and simply delicious cuisine. The land of Dante, Puccini and Michelangelo cherishes an incredible heritage from the Etruscan era that can still be admired in all its splendour. Medieval fortresses, superb Renaissance works, majestic Gothic cathedrals, famous basilicas, powerful cities, fortified medieval towns, magnificent villas and palaces that narrate a past of stylish parties and refined banquets. .. Before setting out on this tour, you should remember that Tuscany and Umbria are the largest showcases of the Renaissance in the whole world. Between the 14th and 15th centuries, these lands witnessed the birth of great maestros such as Pisano or Brunelleschi, which has led to palaces, monuments and churches even in the tiniest of villages being adorned by priceless works. Such is the art and history housed by the main museums of Rome, Perugia, Siena and Florence that it's pretty much impossible to cover everything in one trip. This is also a tour of 'la dolce vita', so characteristic of this part of Italy. Discover the attractions of the wine trail in the Chianti valley, famous for its picture-postcard landscapes of meadows and vineyards, centuries-old wineries, renowned restaurants and excellent ruby-red wines.

Important remarks
- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.
- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.
- Parking in central Florence. The best way to enjoy Florence's historic centre is to park your car and explore the old town by foot. Please note that car parks in the city centre are usually more expensive. Depending on your hotel's location, here are some recommendations. There is a public car park in Piazzale Michelangelo, very close to the centre. It is usually filled early in the day due to its location. Another option is to leave your car in one of the car parks outside the city centre and take public transport, such as the tram or bus. For example, you could park in the Villa Costanza car park off the A1 motorway and, from there, take tram # 1 to the city centre. Near the centre, you'll find parking in Via del Sansavino and Via del Gelsomino. Another option is to go to the car park in Firenze Impruneta (formerly called Firenze Certosa), and from there take bus 37 to central Florence in 20 minutes. For more information, please check the official website of the municipality of Florence: http://mobilita.comune.fi.it/muoversi/muoversi/parcheggi.html. In the Firenze Parcheggi Sp section you'll find a list of car parks managed by the Firenze Parcheggi Spa public agency.
- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.
