Tuscany with the kids

Tuscany is a vast and varied region and encompasses some of Italy's most famous masterpieces and landscapes. For centuries it has been the Mecca for famous artists and aristocrats who came on a "grand tour" of culture and enjoyment.
Now you and your family can retrace those same steps and be enchanted by this wonderful region while driving through sublime landscapes dotted with medieval hilltop villages, picturesque farmhouses nestled amidst vineyards and a patchwork of rolling, undulating hills that are so thrilling to drive through.
Behind the wheel of a classic Italian family car, be captivated by the picture perfect scenery and surprised by the amount of fun activities you can do with the kids. Spend some quality time visiting ancient parish churches, small castles, enormous underground caves, learn to make Pizza and savor incredible ice creams.
Admire the many vineyards and olive groves on your way to some of the region's most famous towns - go for a bike ride on top of Lucca's city walls - stop to visit Florence, the jewel of the Renaissance and the towers of San Gimignano, learn the secrets behind Siena's Palio and why the leaning tower of Pisa has stopped leaning.
This discovery trip is not only about the great names of Tuscany, but also about the off the beaten track places - so we stop for a cappuccino in Monterrigioni and toast to a memorable trip with a glass of the famous Chianti wine right there where it is produced, in Greve in Chianti.
This leisurely and relaxed trip achieves a perfect balance between quality time with the family, learning about the history, art and gastronomy of the "old continent" and a wonderful driving experience through an unspoiled countryside.
This is truly an experience where all ages learn by living and take great pleasure in doing so.
