a curated Small-Group TOUR TO Tuscany
The Grand Tour of Tuscany is a curated 8-day small group tour to Italy’s most fabled region. Designed for only 6 to 12 guests, we provide an intimate and leisurely experience, exploring both the must-see attractions and hidden gems that showcase the rich cultural heritage and local traditions of Tuscany.
After meeting in central Rome, our Tuscany trip goes to a luxurious villa on the rolling hills of Val d’Orcia for the first three nights. Surrounded by olive trees and the vineyards of Montalcino in Southern Tuscany, we enjoy a delightful lunch and wine tasting at a medieval castle. We also partake in al-fresco cheese tasting at an organic farm in Pienza and experience an enchanting evening in the picturesque village of Bagno a Vignoni, complemented by sumptuous dinners and a glimpse of the evocative Abbey of St. Antimo.
We take an intriguing look behind the scenes of Siena‘s famous horse race, the Palio, before continuing to the heart of Lucca, where an elegant palazzo will be our home for the next two nights. Nothing is like experiencing Lucca as a local, especially in the evening when day-trippers are gone, and immersing in the Italian lifestyle in one of Italy’s most charming small cities.
Our Tuscany tour package includes a fun four-wheel ride to the top of Carrara’s marble quarries, the chance to step inside the leaning tower of Pisa, and a private cooking class with a local chef to indulge in Lucca’s tempting foodie scene.
For the final two nights, we stay in central Florence at a hotel that features a quiet inner garden and rooms overlooking the city’s rooftops.
We will skip the line at the Accademia Museum to admire the original David by Michelangelo, a true Renaissance masterpiece, before exploring the city in a way that large groups simply cannot.
From insightful and engaging local guides, dramatic scenery, and stunning architecture, our comprehensive Grand Tour of Tuscany is a hassle-free journey of discovery, pampered with small touches along the way that will leave you in awe.
If we could give our Grand Tour of Tuscany more than five stars, we would. Marco was an amazing tour manager for our eight day trip. We stayed in lovely hotels and villas, indulged in amazing food/wine, and saw the beautiful region of Tuscany. Although there were many highlights, our trip to the Carrara marble quarry and to one of the contrada’s Palio museum really stand out. I cannot say enough about Meet Piemonte’s service. This was our first “guided” multi-day tour, and we will be back for another with Meet Piemonte. Thank you Marco for an unforgettable trip.

To enjoy our Grand Tour of Tuscany, you should be in good health and able to walk reasonable distances. This is not a physically demanding tour, however, there will be a lot of walking, often on uneven steps, cobblestones, uphill and downhill.

Why a Tuscany Trip with Meet Piemonte?
Meet Piemonte Tour Operator has designed an unforgettable journey through the heart of Tuscany, where breathtaking natural beauty blends with a rich cultural heritage. The benefits of joining our Tuscany tour package begin with the design of a slow-paced itinerary, blending free time and group activities, without the rush of a large group’s schedule. Such Tuscany trip includes exclusive activities like the four-wheel drive up to Carrara marble quarries, the visit of a Contrada Museum competing in Siena’s Palio, a private cooking class in Lucca, and much else that an independent traveler would not be able to book on his own at the same price and with our drivers and guides taking care of all logistics.
The paragraphs below explain why our Grand Tour of Tuscany is a comprehensive tour package designed by a team of Tuscany-native local guides who bring insight and many other benefits.
A Comprehensive Grand Tour of Tuscany
Our Grand Tour of Tuscany covers all the highlights of the most fabled Italian region. We pride ourselves on including three nights in our Tuscany trip to Val d’Orcia, in Southern Tuscany, often dismissed due to its distance from Florence. The iconic rolling hills of Val d’Orcia have been the backdrop of many movies, like The Gladiator, for the beauty of the landscape. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Val d’Orcia boasts quaint towns like Pienza and Montalcino and secluded hidden gems like the medieval Abbey of Sant’Antimo, in addition to the world-famous wine region of Brunello di Montalcino and the tall Mt. Amiata in the background. This dormant volcano, thousands of years ago, originated Val d’Orcia’s rich soil composition and its natural hot springs like the ones of Bagno a Vignoni.
After enjoying the countryside, our Tuscany trip moves for two nights to Lucca so that our small group can enjoy it as a local, especially at night when day trippers are gone. Lucca has an incredibly charming and relaxed vibe, with its mix of medieval history, Renaissance elegance, and a laid-back Italian lifestyle. The city is famous for its well-preserved walls, which you can walk or bike along, in the evening or after breakfast, as locals do. The streets are narrow and atmospheric, filled with local boutiques, cozy cafes, and family-run trattorias serving authentic Tuscan dishes.
There’s a strong sense of tradition, yet it feels less touristy than Florence or Siena, making it a perfect place in our Tuscany tour package, to soak in the Dolce Vita at a slower pace. We explore Siena, climb with a four-wheel drive to the mountains where Carrara marble is extracted, step into the charming Pietrasanta, and take the iconic picture of the famous leaning tower of Pisa.
Our small group tour to Tuscany ends with a two-night stay in the heart of Florence, steps away from all major attractions, in a quiet hotel where you can retreat after a day of shopping and sightseeing. Tuscany is a treasure trove of art and culture, offering countless opportunities to immerse yourself in its rich artistic heritage.
Our comprehensive Grand Tour of Tuscany blends some of the world’s most celebrated masterpieces, from Renaissance paintings to stunning sculptures, and marvels at works by legendary artists such as Michelangelo. Beyond the museums, our Tuscany tour package takes you to explore the rich cultural traditions, such as artisan workshops in Pienza, to witness traditional crafts such as pottery, weaving, and painting, giving you a deeper appreciation for the skills passed down through generations.
A Tuscany Trip with Native Local Guides and Hosts
With the incredible support of a team of Tuscan-native tour guides who are also friends, our Grand Tour of Tuscany goes beyond the mass-market standard fares and gains access to unique venues, celebrated restaurants, and interactions with local hosts that add charm and value to the travel experience.
Guides play such a game-changing role in our small group tour to Tuscany. A native of the region and with an excellent command of English, the local experts of our Tuscany trip go beyond dates and history. Walking down the streets of Florence, Siena, or Lucca, they bring to light the local culture and outline details that would be dismissed as insignificant by the inexperienced eye. In Siena, because of these local connections, we gain access to an exclusive Contrada Museum, normally not open to the public. Learn more on our blog about Asti and Siena’s Palio Horse Race.
Avoiding lines and crowds, we go from iconic landmarks to less-visited towns that few tourists ever get to see because of the size of our small group tour, with only 6 -12 guests. Local guides will enhance your experience with fascinating stories, ensuring this Tuscany trip leaves you with a deeper understanding of the region’s treasures.
A Grand Tour of Tuscany with Luxurious Accommodations
Meet Piemonte Tour Operator, handpicked each accommodation included in the Grand Tour of Tuscany. Following the philosophy that our small group tours stay in charming rooms that are much more than a place to sleep, the atmosphere and vibe of Tuscany are reflected in the accommodation. The first three-night stay in a century-old Tuscan villa surrounded by cherry, olive, and chestnut trees is a dream come true. While enjoying top-notch bathroom amenities and the latest in bed comfort, our Tuscan villa delivers the coziness and warmth of a private home, yet is elegant and luxurious. From the original furniture to works of art, to a rich and freshly-made breakfast, the villa is a retreat that reconnects with the quintessential Tuscan countryside, where the Mediterranean breeze blends with the fresh air from the peaks of extinct volcanoes.
The following two nights of this Tuscany trip are in a boutique hotel in Lucca, a former historic palace that a local noble family used to call home. The spacious and elegant rooms are the result of a careful and detailed restoration that combines the preservation of the original structure with modern comforts. Located behind one of Lucca’s most popular piazzas, the hotel’s position is ideal for experiencing the town like a local, strolling along the city walls, or enjoying shopping and dining opportunities, all within easy walking distance. Nothing like being in Lucca when the crowds leave!
In Florence, our Tuscany Tour Package includes an oasis of peace is an elegant hotel with an inner quiet courtyard, perfect for escaping and relaxing after sightseeing. Florence’s crowds can be tiring, so having a place to recharge just a couple of blocks from all major attractions is a real bonus. Regain energy before going out again!
A Tuscany Tour Package with Seamless Logistics
Our all-inclusive Tuscany tour package is meticulously designed to offer a seamless experience from start to finish. We understand that travel can often be stressful, which is why we handle every detail for you. From the pick-up in central Rome to driving on the winding roads of Tuscany, from securing a timed entrance to Florence’s Accademia museum and booking restaurants and offbeat activities, you can relax knowing that everything is taken care of.
The Tuscany trip is then focused on enjoying the beauty of the region without worrying about logistics. You can expect a comfortable journey as we provide modern vans or minibusses throughout the tour. And even when we climb Carrara’s mountain slopes up to the marble quarries on a bumpy and fun four-wheel drive, you will be pampered with extra touches. Sit back, relax, and fully immerse yourself in the experience.
Unparalleled Cuisine in our Grand Tour of Tuscany
Indulge in the finest wines and savor the delicious local cuisine through a selection of celebrated restaurants for a complete overview of local rustic recipes alternated with modern, urban re-interpretations.

Meet Piemonte Tour Operator, which invests a generous budget and resources in this Tuscany Tour Package to deliver unforgettable culinary activities, such as cheese tasting at a Pecorino di Pienza dairy farm or lunch paired with Brunello di Montalcino in a medieval castle. Dining in a historic trattoria of Lucca and Florence and an upscale restaurant in Montalcino, mentioned in the Michelin guide, are gastronomic journeys that tantalize your taste buds.
One of the highlights is the opportunity to participate in a cooking class in the heart of Lucca, one of Italy’s finest foodie towns.

This hands-on experience not only enhances your culinary skills but also deepens your appreciation for the region’s rich food culture.
Wine tasting is an integral part of experiencing Tuscany, and our Tuscany trip includes visits to some of the region’s most renowned vineyards, in the area of production of Brunello di Montalcino..
