Day 1 - Arrival in Rome
You should arrive at the airport to take your flight to Rome from your selected airport. On arrival, a coach will take you to delightful Arezzo in the heart of Tuscany and an ideal base for our series of visits during the next few days. We stay four nights on a half-board basis at the four-star Hotel Minerva, located about half a mile from the medieval city walls. The rest of the day will be spent at leisure, allowing you time to settle into the hotel and start exploring if you wish.
Day 2 - Siena
After breakfast, we drive to lovely medieval Siena which was, during the 12th and 13th centuries, one of the world’s largest and richest cities and a similar size to Paris! Included experience: Guided tour of Siena.
Day 3 - Florence & the Uffizi Gallery
Florence
Today we visit Florence, pearl of the Renaissance, a superb and beautiful city and deservedly on the map of the traveller since the days of the Grand Tour.
The Uffizi Gallery
This afternoon we enjoy a reserved visit to the Uffizi gallery, with entrance fees included, quite simply one of the world’s most monumental art collections. It contains work by Botticelli, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, Titian, Caravaggio, Michelangelo
Day 4 - Arezzo
On this morning’s walking tour we learn of the fascinating stories behind the many ravishing views you’ll encounter in Arezzo’s historic centre. In common with other places on this tour, the area flourished in medieval times, coming under the rule of the Medicis around the 15th century. This afternoon, you can enjoy free time exploring the city or relaxing in one of the local cafes while watching the world go by.
Day 5 - Assisi
Today we leave Tuscany after breakfast, driving firstly to Assisi, where we enjoy a guided tour. This delightful medieval town, with its flower-hung streets, lovely views over the Umbrian countryside and fountain-splashed piazzas is famous for a single event – the birth of Francis, the most revered saint in Italy. We have ample time to visit the basilica together with the town, arriving in Rome early evening. Our hotel in Rome is the four-star Welcome Piram Hotel where we stay on a bed and breakfast basis. This evening, we will enjoy dinner at a local restaurant.
