Siena and San Gimignano
Siena's most prosperous era pre-dated the Renaissance and consequently much of the fabric of the city is in the older Gothic and Romanesque styles. The Gothic and Romanesque Cathedral built in stunning black and white marble with a magnificent interior is a must see. The city is also home to an important religious center. As the birthplace of St Catherine, Siena has a church devoted to her worship. The 700-year-old university is still in operation, holding summer school in Italian. And the Piazza del Campo, sometimes overlooked by the giant campanile of the Palazzo Pubblico, is possibly the most complete Gothic piazza in Italy. Siena is probably most famous for its Palios, barebacked horse races. It has hosted a special event since the l4th Century … attracting crowds from all over the world. San Gimignano is situated in Tuscany just south of Florence. It served as an important relay point for pilgrims on the via Francigena to and from Rome. The patrician families, who controlled the city, built some 72 tower-houses (up to 50m high) as symbols of their wealth and power. Only 14 have survived, but San Gimignano has retained its feudal atmosphere and splendid appearance. 09.00 Departure - 19.00 Return
Pisa and Lucca
Located on the river Arno and just a few kilometers inland, Pisa is famous for its "Piazza dei Miracoli", with the Cathedral, the Leaning Tower, the Baptistery and the Camposanto. This monumental complex is one of the greatest examples of Romanesque architecture and sculpture. And Pisa, the capital city of the Province of Pisa, is one of the most beautiful places in Italy! Its splendid buildings, with their spacious layout, rise proudly from grass lawns and are surrounded by the Camposanto and crenellated walls. The tour continues to Lucca. This walled, ancient city is admirable not only for its architectural masterpieces - the Cathedral and the Church of San Frediano -- but also for its roads, buildings and squares. “Piazza del Mercato" has kept its original oval shape dating back to the days of the ancient Roman amphitheatre. 08.30 Departure - 19.00 Return
Tuscany Coast
This is a full-day tour of Maremma. It begins south of Livorno and forms a coastal plain running to the very southern end of Tuscany. Famous for cowboys (the butteri), Etruscans and naturally heated springs, this is the relatively undiscovered bit of Tuscany, featuring several large nature reserves, well-kept hill towns and countless Roman and Etruscan ruins.
This tour has several stops along the route. Talamone: This small town is dominated by the massive Sienese fortress (seat of the Museum of the Natural Park of Maremma) and surrounded by walls. It stands on the promontory in front of the sea. Porto Santo Stefano: The town is built on a terraced ground and is dominated by an impressive fortress, and Porto Ercole: Hercules is said to be the founder of this beautiful resort over Tyrrhenian Sea, dominated by a fortress and by the pure shapes of Forte Stella.

Portofino
The splendid bay of Portofino, surrounded by the greenery of the promontory, is a typical ligurian fishing village. High, colorful houses huddle in a semicircle around the piazzetta. It is now one of the world's most famous and exclusive resorts. This town is a favorite among international celebrities, yet still retains an atmosphere of days gone by … rich with traditions of the sea and local craftsmen. Don’t miss Brown Castle or a walk up to St. George's church and lighthouse. Trails leading up the mountain and down to San Fruttuoso offer an unforgettable opportunity to appreciate the natural beauty of this idyllic spot. 09.00 Departure - 19.00 Return
Deruta and Cortona, great ceramic shopping
GREAT CERAMIC SHOPPING: Deruta is a picturesque hill town in the Province of Perugia, in the Umbria region of Italy. Long known as a center of refined majolica manufacturing, Deruta is still known for its ceramics, which are exported worldwide. With local clay great for ceramics, production began in the Early Middle Ages. The region reached its artistic peak in the 15th and early 16th centuries. Highly characteristic local styles, such as the "Bella Donna" plates with conventional portraits of beauties whose names appear on fluttering banderoles with flattering inscriptions are especially popular. In the 16th century Deruta produced the so-called "Rafaellesque' ware, decorated with fine arabesques and grottesche on a fine white background. Deruta produced some of the finest Italian majolica.
Cortona is one of the oldest cities in Tuscany and was founded by the Etruscans whose work can still be seen in the foundations of the town's massive stone walls. Made famous by Frances Mayes’ book, Under the Tuscan Sun, Cortona was a major seat of power during the medieval period, able to hold its own against larger towns like Siena and Arezzo. Its decline followed the defeat by Naples in 1409. The city was then sold to Florence and lost its autonomy.
