Via Francigena Taste of Tuscany tour from Siena to Radicofani is designed to minimise long walks and maximise enjoyment of Tuscan history, culture, food and wine. In addition, our experienced guides will give you tips on photography and sketching along the way!
Our Taste of Tuscany tour begins with two days in Florence, followed by two days in Siena. After that, we enjoy the highlights of Via Francigena walking stages 34, 35 and 36.

But, best of all are the Italian cooking classes!
