You don’t have to be staying in Florence to enjoy a day in Tuscany, we are pleased to offer our popular tour to two of Italy’s most famous towns: Cortona and Arezzo from your accommodation in Rome.

If you enjoy the magnificence of the Tuscan countryside, and films that inspire your soul and make your heart sing, this tour is ideal for you!  Already widely recognized in its own right, Cortona’s fame rose with the wildly popular book and movie “Under the Tuscan Sun”. Arezzo was featured in the award winning film “A Beautiful Life” and is also the hometown of the actor in the movie Roberto Benigni.

Your journey will continue through the picturesque countryside to Tuscany, one of the most charming and well recognized regions of Italy filled with strikingly beautiful characteristic panoramas.

AREZZO 

Many of Italy’s towns are ancient....and certainly Arezzo and Cortona are no exception.  Arezzo’s early beginnings extend as far as the Paleolithic Era, and in 9th century BC it became an Etruscan capital named Arretium (notice the similarity of the town’s current name). 
 

Over the many centuries Arezzo grew and prospered to become one of Tuscany’s leading cities possessing remarkable monuments, museums, historical buildings and churches. Arezzo is also Italy’s prominent center for goldsmiths, and you will be charmed by Arezzo’s elegant gold jewelry and treasures.

During your visit to Arezzo you will have free time to explore the town where ancient traditions reverberate from every corner.  Not to miss is the famous Piazza Grande, the graceful medieval square surrounded by an eclectic assortment of beautiful Medieval and Renaissance churches, towers, and palaces (palazzi).

Food in Tuscany is always delicious as Tuscans traditionally take pride in their local cuisine. Your driver can offer some suggestions for a local restaurant or trattoria, but you will find something delightful in any eatery you wish to lunch at.

CORTONA

Cortona’s rich history reaches far beyond its Medieval buildings and remains of ancient Etruscan city walls.  A popular local quote refers to the city as such: “Cortona: the Mother of Rome”.

Cortona’s history reaches far beyond its Medieval buildings and remnants of Etruscan walls.  Legends proclaim of ancient events connected to Cortona include Noah’s Flood, the story of Troy, and tales of Ulysses and Pythagoras. Traditions and mysteries aside, historical documents reveal Cortona as a once formidable Etruscan capital, whose remnants can still be seen in its 3,000 year old Etruscan walls.

You will have free time to enjoy the charming squares and narrow medieval streets lined with cafes, boutiques, art galleries, and shops that sell an abundance of local products from wine to gastronomic delights and souvenirs.

History and art lovers can also visit the MAEC Etruscan Academy Museum inside Palazzo Casali in Piazza della Signoria, or Diocesano Museum in Piazza del Duomo.

Cortona offers its visitors a delightful opportunity to enjoy a leisurely day under the Tuscan sun.

From here you will journey back through the lovely countryside to your accommodations in Rome.
