there, too much of a tourist feel for you, Tuscany tours will give you
the beauty of the countryside scenery that only Italy has to offer.

reason you may want to think about Tuscany is the art and architecture,
if you like that kind of thing. They are famous in that region for
both.

found in the central part of Italy. You will see the most incredible
landscapes in all the world which is the reason so many artists have
used it as their inspiration in some of the most spectacular art
pieces.

Florence is the capital of this region and we know the history of art
that is a part of this great city.

Europe's 1000 most important artists from the second millennium lived
there, in the city of Florence. Tuscany, and more specifically Florence
is a must see for it was the home of the great artist Leonardo da Vinci

He spent his
youth there working in a studio owned by a well known Florentine
painter. Leonardo da Vinci is most famous for his paintings of the Mona
Lisa, and The Last Supper. They say that he gained his artistic style
by painting the landscapes while growing up in that region.
On your
Tuscany tours, you will be able to visit the hamlet near the hill town
where he was born. And that would be a wonderful way to complete a
wonderful vacation in this beautiful region of Italy.
