Italy Luxury Tour Review: Florence, Tuscany, Horseback Riding, Wineries, Culture, 12-Day Trip

From the moment I embarked on my journey to Tuscany, it was clear Zicasso’s travel agency had orchestrated something truly special. The heart of my incredible experience lies in the exceptional tour guides. They were not just guides, they were like local friends, brimming with enthusiasm and profound knowledge of Florence's rich history and culture.

The highlight of my trip was undoubtedly the horseback ride in the Tuscan vineyard. It was an experience right out of a dream. The beauty of Tuscany's landscapes, combined with the gentle nature of the horses, made for an unforgettable adventure and I loved that I had the opportunity to experience something so special.

Equally impressive were the visits to local wineries. Each allowed me to delve into the world of Italian wines, offering a blend of traditional winemaking techniques and a modern approach. The wine tastings were not just a sensory delight, but an educational experience, thanks to the passionate vintners who shared their stories and knowledge with such warmth. I was never able to enjoy wine in the States due to allergies, but experienced nothing but pleasure tasting the Chianti varieties on this trip. Thank you for turning me into a wine lover!

The encounters with artisans in Florence also left a lasting impression. Meeting these skilled individuals, who carry on Florence's legacy of craftsmanship, was inspiring. Their dedication to their art provided a unique window into the soul of the city. I was truly touched by Giuliano Ricchi and purchased many items from him and his wife. Their passion behind their craft was a gift in itself.

What made my journey truly remarkable was the seamless organization by the travel agency. Every detail, from accommodation to transportation, was meticulously planned, allowing me to immerse myself fully in the beauty and culture of Florence without any worries. I would like to reiterate that I felt incredibly safe as a small woman traveling alone.

In summary, my trip to Florence, facilitated by my travel agent, was nothing short of magical. It was a perfect blend of culture, adventure, and relaxation. I returned home with a heart full of memories and a deep appreciation for the incredible experiences that were so thoughtfully curated for me. I cannot wait to explore more of Tuscany and will definitely request my travel agent’s services again.
