Overview
This self-guided walking tour takes you through the area south of Siena,
through the Tuscan landscapes about which you have always dreamed. You will walk in the
rolling hills rendered so memorably in books, films and paintings: from the
world famous vineyards of Montepulciano and Montalcino, the home
of the Nobile and Brunello wines, to walled medieval and Renaissance
boroughs. One mid-trip transfer moves you through a lengthier section of road,
allowing you to enjoy your trip to the fullest.
Each day, you will visit superb churches and abbeys, stay in comfortable accommodations, and
eat in quintessentially Tuscan restaurants and inns. Bellisima!
Difficulty:
Moderate - Most days consist of rolling ups and downs with few steep climbs.
Equipment:
Maps, route directions, and Portable
Media Player are included in the tour cost. You should provide your own daypack and,
optionally, trekking poles.
Accommodations:
Accommodations consist of three-star hotels and B&Bs.
We spend a lot of time finding hotels with local charm, friendly proprietors,
and excellent locations. If you would like to upgrade, we will reserve your
room in a nearby four-star establishment when possible or upgrade your room in
the initial hotel when not. For some nights in small villages no upgrade
option is available and the upgrade price below reflects this.
On this tour, we use one two-star hotel in a small village famous for its nearby monastery where no other lodging options exist. On another night, we stay one night in a four-star accommodation. The upgrade price below includes an additional five nights in an upgraded
hotel.
Price:
All prices below are in US dollars, per person, for a minimum group size of two.
