As we get close to departure dates, we can only hope you're getting excited about your upcoming adventure to Italy! So many of guests signup for our Tuscany expeditions close to 2 years in advance, and we know it sometimes seems so far off... But we always say, "it'll be here before you know it!" And here we are! We know some of you are leaving as early as today, so as they say in Italy; Buon Viaggio!
You've talked about so much stuff over the past 9 months... So remind us, what all is included with our Tour? As you already know, like most all Tours, airfares are not included... And with our alternative Tuscany Expeditions we leave it you to get the car you want... Over the last 24 years, we 've tried adjusting the price and including these things, it just didn't work... It was just way too complicated to deal with everyone's individual departure airports, and their wants & needs for their personal flights and cars... But we include so much more than most Tours do!

When you add up everything that’s included, you just won’t find a better value! At Adventures to Tuscany, our goal is to totally exceed your expectations in every possible way. It starts with our experience... We've personally been touring Europe for almost 40 years and we're in our 24th year of organizing our Tour Groups. In a world of big mass-market bus tour operators, we're a teeny-tiny, very specialized boutique expedition company, and we only take four to five Tour Groups each year... But we're honored & proud that so many of our guests who have traveled with us, choose to do it again, and again... and sometimes again & again!... You guys know who you are, and many of us have become like family! We know our success depends on providing you with the very best value, including one-on-one personalized assistance... and the very best and most unique travel experiences you've ever had. We work hard every day to do that, and we hope you are already recognizing that! For those of you who are new to us, our hope is that you feel this already... and we hope you'll consider traveling with us again... If we can improve your experience in any way at all, please let us know.
We can't wait to see the world with you...
