We have been coming to Tuscany since we met as study-abroad students in 1985. Then, I was the North American publicist for the Italian Tourism Board (ENIT), and since then we have spent more than 365 days in Florence and Tuscany with our family and closest friends. Now, we want to share Tuscany with you in a way no travel company can offer.
Highlights include:
5-star hotel with picture perfect view of Arno
6th generation Florentine guide for walking tours, line-free access and day trip to hill towns
Leading scholar on Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo at your disposal
Private tour of the Uffizi Galleries, Palazzo Vecchio and Accademia
Behind the scenes tour of the oldest vineyards in Tuscany, white truffle hunt and truffle lunch, and latest harvest of the highest rated organic Tuscan olive oil
Cooking class overlooking the Ponte Vecchio after provisioning at Mercato Centrale
Guests of the most important wine family in Italy, wine tasting and Michelin star meal in their private dining room in the palazzo.
Private shopping at the most exclusive boutiques and an optional half day trip to The Mall
Walk 20,000 steps a day, climb towers and see vistas few get to experience. You will likely lose a few pounds too.
And this is just the beginning. If you are the least bit interested, email me (craig@slmag.net) for more information and to receive a detailed itinerary. Space is limited to 5 couples per week.
$10,000 per person (4-star hotel) or $12,000 per person (5-star hotel) excluding airfare and discretionary alcohol, but includes 4 or 5-star lodging, meals, excursions and gratuities.
