Tuscany Tours Tuscany Tours is a travel company based in California. We create amazing small group tours and independent travel plans in Italy, France and Spain.

Why travel with Tuscany Tours? Pam Mercer and Sam Hilt, creators of Tuscany Tours, are familiar with living “la dolce vita.” They fell in love with Italy decades ago. They became pilgrims in a foreign land, discovering little treasures along the way: the untraveled hilltop hamlet, the family-owned trattoria, the little-known museum, the picturesque piazza and the best gelateria. They became expert

s on the Italian experience, the food, art, history and the sights. And they are the kind of people who soaked up the charm of Italian life and embody the spirit. They enjoy sharing their discoveries and adventures. So establishing Tuscany Tours 20 years ago was a natural extension of their own personalities and passions. They decided to create the best small group tours in Italy. Their success can be attributed to their meticulous planning, their extraordinary knowledge of Italy and its treasures and their own love of the land and the people. Small group tours with Tuscany Tours focus on authentic experiences that arouse senses and create memories. All-inclusive, 7-10 days, small group tours introduce travellers to the authentic Italian lifestyle and culture: Italy's exquisite cuisine, signature wines, and vibrant historical, artistic and cultural landscape. Participants walk in the footsteps of emperors and peasants. They see art that defined western civilization. They sit in outdoor cafes and drink cappuccino like a local. Pam and Sam know that travel in a foreign country can be stressful. So they purposely designed no-stress tours. Tuscany Tours negotiates all the details so tour members can relax and enjoy a fine wine (or two) while soaking in the rich culture of this timeless country. Our guides are local, experienced and fun. Plus, Sam or Pam accompanies every adventure. Most importantly, Tuscany Tours understands that your small-group tour must be the ultimate experience. We are dedicated to our tour members, preoccupied with detail, concerned with comfort, and are pre-disposed to satisfy curiosity and maximize enjoyment. Additionally, Tuscany Tours specializes in customizing travel itineraries for private groups of six or more including: wine clubs, friends circles, incentive trips, cooking weeks, and simple family vacations. We offer customized, bespoke private travel itineraries for couples – all crafted with the same love that goes into our signature small group tours. It’s been said that if we're lucky, we find our passion early in life - whether it’s culinary or cultural, material or metaphysical, visual or visceral. And if we are luckier still, we discover a place that nurtures our passions, that frees our senses. For Tuscany Tours, Italy is that experience. If you dream of “la dolce vita”. Now is your time to live that dream. Tuscany Tours wants to share the passion with you. Visit us at http://www.tuscanytours.com to request an itinerary for your next adventure.
