🔎 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐢 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢 𝐞 𝐧𝐮𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐳𝐞 𝐝𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞 ☘️

Qualche tempo fa avevo lanciato questa richiesta, ma era un po’ prematuro. Adesso invece 𝐓𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 è un tour operator a tutti gli effetti, pronto a collaborare con professionisti ed appassionati per creare un’offerta originale e ben organizzata.

📌 𝐂𝐡𝐢 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐨:

✔️ 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐢 (ambientali, turistiche ecc., con regolare abilitazione)
✔️ 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐢 𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢 (ceramica, pittura, tessitura, scultura… qualsiasi forma creativa è benvenuta)
✔️ 𝐄𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢 𝐝𝐢 𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐢 𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢 (botanica, erboristeria e foraging ecc.)
✔️ 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢 𝐞 𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢 𝐝𝐢 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 : alloggi, spazi e locali disponibili a ospitare corsi e attività

📬 Se rientri in una di queste categorie 𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐢 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢 𝐝𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞, scrivimi in privato o lascia un commento.

Sul mio sito 𝐰𝐰𝐰.𝐭𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬.𝐜𝐨𝐦 potete trovare informazioni sull’agenzia e il suo stile.

👉🏻 Soprattutto vorrei 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐧’𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚 𝐩𝐢𝐮̀ 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚, meno aderente alla narrazione che ci hanno cucito addosso (con le esperienze fasulle ed artefatte) e più descrittiva dell’anima dei nostri posti, in modo da renderla più 𝒔𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒆 (nel vero senso della parola) e più decentrata rispetto alle mete canoniche

Ogni idea é la benvenuta e sarà valutata con attenzione!

Tuscany tours beyond the ordinary: Authentic experiences and local treasures, designed for those who seek the true spirit of Tuscany

Pienza peeking through the branches of a blooming peach tree, wrapped in the soft colors of spring 🌸✨

☘️🌿 𝟱𝟬 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 🌿🌱

Right now, the Val d’Orcia is drowning in green—every possible shade, from the softest lime to the deepest emerald. A masterpiece painted by spring itself, shifting with every breeze, every cloud, every ray of sun. If Pantone had any decency, they’d pay us royalties for this spectacle!

🌿💚

Picking up where we left off in the video the other day, let’s dive even deeper into the beauty of the Strada del Pozzo along the Via Francigena. Walking here feels like stepping back in time, surrounded by history, nature, and a peaceful silence that makes every step feel like a journey of its own. 🌿🚶‍♂️

𝐓𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐲 is vast and incredibly varied. When someone asks me for a tour in "Tuscany," I never know quite where to begin.
👉 Are they thinking about 𝒓𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒚𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒔, or perhaps 𝑹𝒆𝒏𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒂𝒍 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒔? And yes, Florence is actually "𝑖𝑛 𝑇𝑢𝑠𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑦" and happens to be its regional capital, but this region is so much more than the sum of its postcards.

Take the 𝑽𝒂𝒍 𝒅’𝑶𝒓𝒄𝒊𝒂, for example, the epitome of Tuscan beauty with its sweeping landscapes, cypress-lined roads, and hilltop towns like 𝑷𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒛𝒂, 𝑆𝑎𝑛 𝑄𝑢𝑖𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑜 𝑑'𝑂𝑟𝑐𝑖𝑎, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑀𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑜. It’s here you’ll find Brunello wine, Renaissance squares, and even ancient thermal baths in 𝑩𝒂𝒈𝒏𝒐 𝑽𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒊. Just next door, the 𝑪𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒆 𝑺𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒊 offers a wilder, almost otherworldly terrain of clay hills that looks like Tuscany’s moody cousin.

🏞️ These areas, the most iconic and photographed 📸 in Tuscany, are located in the province of 𝑺𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒂, a stunning medieval gem, with its cathedral that houses what Vasari called “the most beautiful floor in the world and ”Piazza del Campo”, the city’s heart, unique in its kind, famous for hosting the famous Palio horse race 🏇🏼

🌳 Heading south, the 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒎𝒂 unfolds in all its rugged glory, beginning with its Etruscan heritage. Towns like 𝑷𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒈𝒍𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒐, 𝑺𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒐, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑺𝒐𝒗𝒂𝒏𝒂, carved into tuff stone, transport you back thousands of years. Further south, the Monti dell’Uccellina, part of a vast nature reserve, features iconic cattle, the elegant Maremman horses, and the traditional "𝒃𝒖𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒊"—cowboys who still practice their craft 🐴
🌊 Meanwhile, the 𝑨𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒐 coastline impresses with dramatic cliffs and chic harbors like Porto Ercole. The Colline Metallifere, with towns like Massa Marittima, reveals a mining heritage wrapped in medieval allure. And let’s not forget the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago, from Elba’s shimmering beaches to Giglio’s tranquil retreats 🐬

🖼️ In the 𝑽𝒂𝒍 𝒅𝒊 𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑺𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒆, 𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒑𝒖𝒍𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒐 reigns supreme, offering Renaissance elegance and its famed Vino Nobile. The rest of the Val di Chiana stretches north, with towns like 𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒂 and 𝐿𝑢𝑐𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑎𝑛𝑜 adding their own dose of history and charm. To the east, the 𝑪𝒂𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒐 takes you into the forested heart of Tuscany, where spiritual retreats like 𝐿𝑎 𝑉𝑒𝑟𝑛𝑎 and castles like the one in 𝑃𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑖 bring history to life 🏰

Further north, 🖼️ 𝑭𝒍𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 naturally takes the spotlight, with its art, architecture, and sheer cultural weight. But Tuscany doesn’t stop there. 𝑳𝒖𝒄𝒄𝒂, with its medieval walls and quiet renaissance elegance, offers a slower pace, while the 𝑳𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒂 in the far north enchants with its castles and rugged beauty. Nearby, the 𝑮𝒂𝒓𝒇𝒂𝒈𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒂 is a green oasis of mountains and tranquil villages like 𝐵𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑎. Towards the sea, we find 𝑷𝒊𝒔𝒂 with its leaning tower, 𝑳𝒊𝒗𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒐, and the northern coast…

𝐓𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐲 isn’t just a region; it’s a collection of worlds, each with its own flavor and story. It’s impossible to capture it all in one trip—or even one lifetime. So, when someone says, "Show me Tuscany," I just smile and ask, "Where would you like to start?" ❤️

Perched on a hill near San Quirico d’Orcia, the Croce di Prata stands wrapped in the morning mist, creating a magical, ethereal atmosphere. Surrounded by cypress trees, this spot offers stunning panoramic views, especially when the fog blankets the landscape. A perfect moment captured in time. 🌫️⛅️

The breathtaking view of the Basilica Cateriniana di San Domenico (the Church of Saint Catherine) from the viewpoint of Via di Diacceto 🌿⛪. Perched on the Colle di San Domenico, this historic church dominates the Siena skyline. Built in the 13th century, it is dedicated to Saint Catherine of Siena and is an essential site for those exploring the city’s rich spiritual and architectural heritage.

💫The "Croce di Prata" (San Quirico d'Orcia) is another of those "postcard-perfect" places the world envies us. Add a skilled little drone, Mount Amiata and Belvedere peeking through the mist, and a surreal day...

In December, Pienza gets into the holiday spirit ❤️

...Picture an autumn day, with a drone capturing views from the old road that leads from Montepulciano to the nearby village of Montefollonico, as the "Pearl of the 16th century" poses beautifully in all her splendor...

Pearls of Tuscany Experiences

☀️ At the golden hour of the morning, a hot air balloon floats in the sky of the Val d’Orcia, silent and majestic, as the sun rises and bathes the golden fields in a warm light.
👉🏻 Pienza is nestled in the background, a jewel among gentle hills, while the soft morning breeze caresses the landscape. It’s a moment of pure magic, where the beauty of Tuscany merges with the dream of flight ✨

Symbol of ancient farming traditions, the scarecrow watches over the Tuscan fields, weaving together stories of hard work, land, and magic. Each season, it reminds us of the beauty in simple gestures and the deep connection between people and nature. 🌾✨
