The name of this escorted Italy tour – Gems of Umbria and Tuscany – says it all. We will visit medieval hill towns & see some of the most beautiful gems that call central Italy home. We will begin & end in Rome, and in between we’ll overnight in Spoleto, San Martino in Campo, Siena and Orvieto. Bonnie says - having visited a few of these towns in 2014 makes me excited to return and devote more time in these gorgeous areas of Italy. This tour is a great value! The tour includes Brunello wine tasting,
olive oil tasting at an authentic mill, full buffet breakfast daily, 2 special lunches with wine in Narni and Montalcino, 5 three-course dinners with wine, including special dinners in Rome, Spoleto, and Orvieto.

After an extensive tour of the ancient city of Pompeii, we’ll head east to the Adriatic coast to celebrate our Thanksgiving in Bari, Italy!
Southern Italy in November affords mild, sunny touring weather with cool starlight nights. You’ll learn firsthand why Lecce is called the “Florence of the South” with its baroque buildings and public squares. Your heart will melt when you see the white-washed stone city of Alberobello and the picturesque Sassi village houses of Matera. The island of Sicily is the great melting pot of the Mediterranean where Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, and other Europeans left their architectural marks, culinary touches, academic influences, in addition to a most charming personality. We will slow our pace the last five nights and savor the sites and flavors of the Taormina Riviera, Agrigento, and Palermo. Tour opportunities include Mount Etna, Syracuse, Valley of the Temples, and the churches and cathedrals of Palermo.
