Travelscene on Capri and The NSW National Trust offer spectacular Discover Tuscany programme
One of Australia’s leading independent travel agencies, Travelscene on Capri and The National Trust of New South Wales have joined forces to offer an exclusive package for travellers looking for a truly unique European holiday opportunity.
Following what is considered to be the future model for travel agencies by offering special interest tours, fee for service netting higher yield, the programme offers travellers the opportunity to experience the best of the heartland of Tuscany in Spring with an extraordinary “behind the scenes” journey, visiting private gardens and villas, markets and festivals, charming villages and towns and meet local artists and craftspeople.
Departing on 15 May 2007 and returning on 29 May 2007 this fantastic tour gives travellers the chance to experience the wonders of the Tuscan landscape first hand, visiting castles, monasteries and villas that date back to the 16th century.
The tour will only tak a small group of up to 20 people, ensuring they will have a chance to explore the real Italy in style and at a relaxed pace that will guarantee they have time to enjoy the local cuisine and wines and experience the warm hospitality this area has to offer.
Expert local tour host, Ugo Mariotti, will provide travellers with a unique insight into everyday life in Tuscany. A delightful and most informative guide, his wealth of knowledge and fascinating anecdotes will provide guests with a taste of the real Tuscany, and his local contacts will open doors that very few other people will ever see.
On this tour guests will only have to unpack twice staying at two excellent properties which have been selected to ensure maximum comfort and ambience. “Il Chiostro” – a historic hotel in the centre of the small Renaissance town in Pienza and Hotel Antico Pozzo located in the centre of San Gimignano in a superb 15th century townhouse.
This incredible tour is just $7,150 per person twin share land only (subject to availability, conditions apply) and includes:
Transfer on arrival from Rome airport to “Il Chiostro”, and on departure from Antico Pozzo to Rome airport.
All the sightseeing, scenic drives and excursions described in the itinerary, fully escorted by our local professional Tour Manager, Ugo Mariotti.
