Tuscan Cities

Program 5a

Lucca - Pisa - Florence

We have chosen 3 of the most interesting cities in Tuscany for our excursions. You will have the opportunity of touring in a small group with a local guide who will show you and explain things which are not part of the usual touring experience. The highlights of the program are:

  • Florence - its center and palaces
  • Pisa - Miracle Square with the Leaning Tower, and the River Arno
  • Lucca - its center and ancient ramparts.

An elementary knowledge of Italian would be useful but is not necessary.

Program 5b

Florence between the Renaissance and the future

Few cities that have as many historical, artistic and cultural attractions as Florence. It would be presumptuous to suggest that the time available would be sufficient to truly get to know this city, but we have prepared an interesting selection for "Florence between the Renaissance and the future" It begins with an afternoon of lessons on the architecture so you arrive there well prepared, and then you will have a day to get to know its famous monuments and streets with an experienced teacher. Stops include the Florentine palaces, the works of Filippo Brunelleschi, as well as the River Arno and the surrounding hills. A basic knowledge of Italian is necessary.
