Experiences in Tuscany

Overview

Trying to list everything Tuscany is famous for is like asking how much pizza, pasta or gelato you’re going to eat when you visit. The answer is, a lot more than you originally would have thought.

In a lot of other regions around the world, culture is something you choose to participate in, something you go for. In Tuscany however, it’s something you live, breath and feel even as you’re simply strolling through its winding lanes and narrow alleyways.

Tuscany is the true birthplace of the renaissance, where some of the greatest artists in human history, Leonardo Da Vinci and Michaelangelo, to name a couple, at some point or another, liked to call casa (or as we’d say, home).

And this fact is reflected in the graceful, dignified poise that the entire region holds itself in. Every town and city is dripping with cultural riches, just waiting to be discovered.

So whether it’s staring in awe at the enchanting art and architecture of Florence, feasting on traditional Tuscan cuisine in Pisa, or roaming the lesser-known marble quarries of Lucca, the only issue you’ll have is deciding which part of this idyllic region to start in.

    Best Time to Visit Tuscany

    General

    The best months to travel are generally from April until June and from September to October. These months offer the best weather possible for sightseeing, wandering and exploring, during the summer months the heat can get a little overwhelming.

    If you want to save money, visit Tuscany in August. Italy’s vacation time is in August, so a lot of the locals are elsewhere on holiday, meaning August is considered off-season in Italy. The positives are that you won’t have to worry about the crowds, but due to the low number of visitors, you might find some shops, restaurants or attractions closing early.

    • In many cases, less than 10% of the money spent on a holiday actually ends up in the pockets of the local community. Tourism leakage is a serious problem, and it means many people are not able to reap the benefits of the tourism happening in their own back yard. We work with small, local suppliers and ensure that they receive a fair amount for every holiday we sell.

    • The climate is changing, and the travel industry is a key frontier in this battle. On the one hand, pollution from travel, erosion from over-tourism, and waste from careless travelling can make the problem much worse. But on the other hand, travel affords unique opportunities to help people connect with the natural environment in a close-up, personal way, and support locals in protecting their local environment. We are committed to offering experiences that match our sustainability criteria.

    We educate and provide guidance to travellers, hosts and agents.

    • Travel can help build a better world, but it has to be done properly. We are not just finding experiences that are better for local communities and better for the planet. We are committed to helping everyone travel better. From the moment they book with us until the moment they arrive home, we actively help our travellers with resources and guidance. This helps them travel more mindfully, and ultimately, offers a deeper, more rewarding experience.
