6 Days Tuscany With The Kids 12+ Adventure Tour Package
Duaration: 6 Days / 5 Nights Priced From: $5,995 pp dbl. occ. Dates: Aug Start/Finish: Florence / Florence


There’s no place like Tuscany for accessing your teen’s inner artist. Or chef. Or bocce champion. Moreover, keeping them happy gives you time to enjoy gorgeous bike rides, historic towns, succulent food and wine, and fabulous luxury hotels.
While you’re taking a historical walking tour of Siena with our art historian friend Lucia, kids are having a ball making the local dessert called cenci; as you taste vino nòbile in the cellars of the famed Avignonesi estate, teens are creating clay masterpieces with local artisans. Naturally, there are plenty of activities together – like when we roll up our sleeves to make the local specialty, pici pasta with garlic and tomato sauce.
Trip Highlights
• Cycle through the glorious Val di Chiana, the largest valley in the Apennines
• Stop for a cappuccino in the piazza of a medieval village
• Catch a private falconry demonstration at the Medici fortress
• Take a walking tour of Cortona with a local artist
• Indulge in homemade tiramisu at the home of our good friends, the Lungarella family
• Pedal to Pienza via gently rolling hills and olive groves
Tour Accommodations
Relais Villa Petrischio, Farneta A beautiful villa built in the 1800s, the Relais Villa Petrischio is set in the midst of a cypress and pine tree forest. It offers stunning views over the entire Val di Chiana and expansive, private grounds which you may choose to explore--when you’re not relaxing in the pool or your finely decorated room.
CasaBianca, Crete Senesi
The CasaBianca, an elegant 15thC villa hotel overlooking the rolling farms of the Crete Senesi, is one of the highlights of our time in Tuscany. Our gracious hosts, Alba & Luigi Scaperotta, produce their own wine and olive oil, and give us a pizza-making demo using the villa’s original wood-burning oven.
Grand Hotel Continental, Siena Located in the heart of Siena, the 5-star Grand Hotel Continental is a recently converted 17thC palazzo, originally designed by the baroque architect Giovanni Fontana. Ponder the history of this majestic, beautifully frescoed building as you sip prosecco in the courtyard.
