| Overview |
Venture into the heart of central Tuscany - a landscape characterised by remote hilltop villages and scattered cypress trees, undulating vineyards and aromatic olive groves. Its gently rolling hills are familiar as the classical backdrop of Renaissance art, and its charm is eternal, the perfect merging of medieval and modern worlds. This route takes you along ancient paths and dirt tracks, past Tuscan farms and forests, culminating in the magnificent medieval city of Siena. In just five days, experience one of Italy's most enchanting regions and truly immerse in local culture as the path rises and legends unravel before you.

| Itinerary |
Days 1-2 San Gimignano to Colle Val d'ElsaThe City of Towers houses a rich array of religious and secular frescoes and monuments. Loosen those limbs with a little exploration or sample local specialties such as salami and cheese before the journey begins. Meander over the medieval landscape to charming Colle Val d'Elsa, boasting a charming Old Town connected by 'tunnel' streets, rich in ancient buildings and fascinating museums. This town is renowned for its crystal so be sure to put shopping on the top of the 'to-do list'. Day 3 Colle Val d'Elsa to MonteriggioniHeavy ramparts form a full circle around Monteriggioni, remnants of its military past and a walk along the evocative ring of walls harks back to a bygone era. Afterwards, why not relax with a glass of chianti? Days 4-5 Monteriggioni to SienaWalk forth to the heart of Tuscany - Siena - a treasure trove of Romanesque and Gothic art and architecture. Sit back and reflect on the journey over a piece of panforte, an almond and honey cake that this region is famous for.

| Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends. - Maya Angelou |
