Be ready to be amazed....You'll arrive at Florence, then be whisked away in an air conditioned bus to the startling white mountains of Carrara where Michelangelo got the marble he used to carve his magnificent "David" and dozens of other master works.  Then, you'll settle in at a gorgeous little Agriturismo in the Lunigiana area of Tuscany...land of 100 castles.  It only gets better from there, as you travel through Tuscany's amazing landscape and tour some of Tuscany's most famous cities.  And...to top things off, you'll enjoy a day in the justifiably world famous Cinque Terre area of Liguria.
