View Full Itinerary

Along Europe's Scenic "Yellow Roads"

From under the Tuscan sun to the Italian Riviera... discover the stories behind the brilliance of Renaissance painters and sculptors from an art historian in Florence... prepare pasta with a chef and learn the finer points of olive oil tasting... 

For the culturally curious, this journey through Italy is a feeling that you've become much more savvy after an art history briefing. It's walking through the medieval alleys of Siena... or bicycling atop the walls of Lucca. It's laughter. It's sharing vino made from grapes in the vineyards you've just walked through and kicking back. It's about becoming a part of day-to-day Italy... and new views on life... Hear a recital by a concert pianist in his private palazzo and chat with a master of art restoration... discover the beauty of natural marble and Cinque Terre villages overlooking the sea, connected by walking trails...

Guided Bike Tour in Lucca

A cooking class in the Tuscan hills

Day 6

Learn culinary secrets with a hands-on demonstration, tasting and lunch in the Tuscan hills

In case you were wondering, Tuscany is indeed all about the food... as you'll see for yourself at a hands-on cooking lesson with local chefs at Fattoria Colle Verde, one of the region's foremost wineries and olive oil producers. You'll do some olive oil tasting, some wine tasting, and dive into a pasta-making class to help create a lunch that can best be described as delizioso.

Cinque Terre has the most spectacular views I have ever seen. Hiking is amazing, beaches that are beautiful, and the food... delizioso!
