A little over two years ago, I started to take small groups of women that were friends, friends of friends, and family on small group tours ranging anywhere from 7 to 9 nights. As of this year, I have had the pleasure of co-leading three such groups with another authentic tour planned for May 11th- May 21st 2024. This tour is called Authentic Umbria & Tuscany and will be based in beautiful Orvieto. To encourage solo travellers, each room is a single (unless you want to share) in a lovely B&B right in the centro of town. Tour is limited to seven women total.
We will again be participating in a festival with locals and make a floral design with a group of people from Orvieto. Last year we won second place! Below are some photos of our experiences on the tour this past May.
Please feel free to PM me for more details if interested.

This is great news! Unfortunately, I also think it will make this very busy placed even more so .

The new route will make the ruins of the ancient city more accessible for visitors

One of my favorite villages in southern Tuscany . Very few tourists venture here .

La Fortezza di Radicofani veglia da sempre sul borgo e sulla valle, e indica la strada a chi si immerge nella scoperta di vicoli nascosti e angolini segreti.

This would be fascinating to see! What do you think?

Tourists visiting the Pompeii Archaeological Park will be able to see the newly discovered thermopolium, an ancient 'fast food' counter, from 12 August.

New info with regards to traveling to Italy.

While such measures have prompted protests in France and divided Americans, Italians are enjoying a season of rationality under Prime Minister Mario Draghi.

Classic Tuscany. Wouldn't it be great to hike or bike on this lovely road with this glorious vista before you?

The Val d'Orcia awaits you!
