The Best of Tuscany

Independent 8-day Tuscany rail trip through Florence, Siena, Lucca

Railbookers runs The Best of Tuscany as an independent rail package, so travelers set their own pace rather than following an escorted group. The trip covers 8 days and 7 nights, starting and ending in Florence with stops in Siena and Lucca. In Florence, the package includes a cooking class to learn Italian recipes alongside sightseeing among the city's art and landmarks. From there it heads into the Chianti countryside to learn about winemaking, and on to Siena for a look at its historic center. It suits travelers who want a short, food-and-wine-focused introduction to Tuscany by rail rather than a long multi-region tour. Prices start from $999 per person.
