FALLING IN LOVE AROUND TUSCANY

Our journey starts from the hilly Tuscany, apparently not so easy to ride, but hey! It depends on where you are! An easy path could be the one from Pisa to Florence. The path takes you from the leaning tower of Pisa to Lucca and finally to the famous Duomo of Florence, to an engaging family advenutre. The path runs across the countryside of Delve and Calci,  and Vinci, where Leonardo da Vinci was born. An engaging way to taste local products and enjoying local life, while strolling into the absolute beauty of the Tuscan countryside. Florence will be the last step, with its gorgeous views and museums. The good news is you can book a Tapsy Tour in both Pisa and Florence and involve your children into a fantastic half-day tour to discover the best highlights!
