SPOTLIGHT ON TUSCANY + VENICE May 4-15, 2022
Imagine a trip to Italy that avoids the teeming tourist crowds, while taking you to the enchanting vineyards and rolling hills of Tuscany! That’s what you’ll experience in May, 2022 when you embark on Collette Vacations “Spotlight on Tuscany” tour, accompanied by Caryl Olson of Cruise Planners.
No constant packing and unpacking… you’ll enjoy an eight day stay in the charming resort and spa town of Montecatini Terme. It’s located in the heart of Tuscany, perfectly situated for the included day trips to Pisa, Florence, San Gimignano and Cinque Terre, the stunning cluster of cliffside villages that together comprise a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
At Cinque Terre, you’ll discover a magical land nestled between the mountains and the Mediterranean as you travel by rail and boat to discover a colorful string of fishing villages along the breath-taking, rugged coastline. It’s a spot unique in the World, and one you’ll always remember!
Look forward to a stop in charming Lucca, said to be Italy’s best kept secret. View World War II artifacts at the Museum of Liberation. Florence is called “The cradle of the Renaissance” for its impact on art and culture! You’ll visit the Piazza del Duomo and the Academy Gallery to see the statue of David.
Travel to Pisa for a look at the famous Leaning Tower and a taste of Tuscan cuisine via a Cooking Class that will culminate in a memorable dinner! In San Gimignano you’ll visit a hilltop village that’s one of Tuscany’s most picturesque places, an enchanting medieval town with 14 towers overlooking vineyards.
But Tuscany is only the beginning… as you will continue your Italian Adventure in VENICE!
The City of Canals… The City of Love… Venice.
Stroll the winding streets along the canals, marvel at hundreds of arches and bridges, be surrounded by the one-of-a-kind feelings—and the architecture-- that make Venice truly a place like no other!
