Treasures of Tuscany

Ten-day Tuscan rail journey from London through Florence, Pisa, and Siena

Great Rail Journeys' Tuscany tour spans ten days from London to the Côte d'Azur, with nine nights based in Montecatini Terme, a picturesque spa town in the Tuscan countryside. The journey opens with Eurostar Plus from London St Pancras, crossing France and the Alps by First Class rail to Turin. From Montecatini Terme, the group makes day trips by train and coach to Florence for a guided tour of the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio, to walled Lucca where you can cycle along the ancient ramparts, and to Pisa's Field of Miracles. A coach excursion ventures to medieval San Gimignano for a vineyard tour and dinner at the family-run Tenuta Torciano estate, while a separate day explores Siena's Piazza del Campo and Renaissance Duomo. The return leg travels by First Class train along the Ligurian coast, passing the Cinque Terre, to Saint-Raphaël on the Côte d'Azur before heading home aboard Eurostar. The tour suits history-lovers drawn to Renaissance Florence and medieval towns, food-and-wine travellers interested in estate dining, and those seeking guided comfort with a UK Tour Manager present throughout.

Price history

Across 5 checks, this price has fallen £200 since 4 Jul, to £2,299.

Each point is a day we checked this operator's own page, not a weekly average, and the line holds flat between checks rather than guessing at movement we did not see. 3 of 5 points are a live read of the operator's page. Hollow points are values shown when the trip was first listed here and never confirmed with the operator.

What to know before you look closer

The single supplement is substantial at GBP 480 (nearly 20 percent of the double price), reflecting the operator's premium positioning.
The group size can reach 30 travellers, larger than some boutique operators.
One day (Day 7) in Montecatini Terme is entirely free; dinner that evening is independent, not included.
