Itinerary

  • Day 1

    Tuscany: San Gimignano, and Walk Strove to Colle Val d'Elsa

    After an informative morning welcome briefing with your CEO you will travel to San Gimignano for a visit before today's trek. Discover one of the most well preserved Italian medieval sites by marvelling at both the Gothic and Romanesque architecture of the historical centre, and by sampling some of the regional delights at lunch in town. Your trek begins after lunch, heading to the final destination of Colle Val d'Elsa.

  • Day 2

    Tuscany: Walk Monteriggioni to Siena

    After the hike, explore Monteriggioni’s charming streets and well-preserved medieval walls. Then, relax and enjoy a well-earned lunch with local flavors before heading back to Colle di Val d’Elsa, where you will have some free time to explore this historic town at your own pace.

  • Day 3

    Tuscany: Exploring the Chianti Region

    After a decadent and leisurely lunch, continue on to Greve in Chianti, considered the "gateway" to the Chianti region. Greve in Chianti is formed around a beautiful triangular piazza, at the centre of which is a statue of the explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, one of the town’s most illustrious sons, who went down in history for discovering the bay of New York. End the day relaxing with a cold drink at your Tuscan Villa perched above the vineyards.

  • Day 4

    Tuscany: Volpaia to Lamole

    After lunch, sample four varieties from the local Tuscan estates, continuing to learn not only about the process of wine making in Tuscany, but about the people who make their life here in Chianti. Tonight enjoy a special wine pairing dinner.

  • Day 5

    Tuscany: Visit Montepulciano and Walk the Gladiator Trail

    Your morning walk concludes just in time to sample another Tuscan favourite, pecorino cheese. A tasting of locally produced pecorino and ricotta cheeses is served with a glass of Montepulciano wine. After indulging in a glass of Montepulciano wine, it's only fitting to visit the town itself. A local guide welcomes you to this ancient hilltop town and provides an in depth walking tour of the old centre. Here we leave Tuscany and head into Umbria to Città della Pieve.

  • Day 6

    Umbria: Cooking with a Local Chef

    After you devour the fruits of your cooking labor, alongside a few glasses of delicious wine, the afternoon is yours to spend at leisure. A local guide will lead a walking tour of Città della Pieve, our home while in Umbria, known as the birthplace of renaissance painter Pietro Vannucci.

  • Day 7

    Rome: Your OMG Day

    Take a short orientation walk of Rome after arriving to the hotel. If you are up for more walking, join your local Roman guide and walk the historical centre, visiting Piazza Barberini and Piazza di Spagna. Drop a coin into the Trevi Fountain and sip a cappuccino in Piazza Navona. If you are ready for less walking, more adrenaline, hop on the back of a Vespa with a professional driver and whiz through Rome from Trastevere to the Colosseum and lots more.

Customer reviews & ratings

(4.56 out of 5)Based on 9 reviews

  • We got a nice overview of Tuscany on this trip. Very organized company and flexible with making last minute changes if the weather did not cooperate. The highlights for me were the Elsa River trek, farmhouse lunch and wine tasting at Molina de Grace Vineyard and the cooking class Citta della Pieve. The young man giving the provolone cheese tour was adorable. All of the tour guides in the various towns were very good and interesting. I would have to qualify my answer by telling them a couple of the hotel were a bit lacking. Most were great!

  • I had a wonderful experience seeing some of Italys harder to reach locations, this was my first trip with G adventures but it certainly won't be my last I really liked being able to easily get to less common tourist locations
