There are few better ways to start your day than to walk up to the 17-foot-tall David, Michelangelo’s masterpiece. This wonderful tour of Italy's Renaissance capital begins at the Galleria dell’Accademia and continues to the stunning Gothic architecture of the Piazza del Duomo, where you will see Florence Cathedral and the Baptistery. Then you’re off to the political center of town, the Piazza della Signoria, which is also a splendid open-air museum built on the site of a 1st-century Roman theater.

This tour lets you look before you leap into Florence. Start at the Piazzale Michelangelo, a wide terrace on a hill that affords superb views of this iconic city.

Florence is a vibrant medieval city, and the town center is a compact labyrinth of alleys and piazzas begging you to stroll and explore.

Experience all that is magical about Lucca in perhaps the best way to do so – by bicycle. Cars are mostly banned inside the city walls, making exploration by bike a true pleasure. Follow your guide into the heart of the city to see the Piazza San Michele, overlooked by the ornate Palazzo Pretorio and the ancient Church of San Michele in Foro. Riding on, you will visit the Piazza del Mercato, Cathedral of San Martino and Church of San Frediano, a melting pot of art and history. You will then enjoy a Tuscan snack atop Lucca's tree-lined walls.

The northern Tuscan city of Carrara has produced marble since the Roman era. In the city’s quarries, up in the Apuan Alps, you’ll explore the history and heritage around this celebrated material with a quarryman-guide. Relax on the drive up the coast from Livorno. In Carrara, you’ll transfer to 4x4 vehicles to head up to the mountain quarries, where you’ll meet your guide, Marco Bernacca. Bernacca’s family has worked here for four generations and now owns quarry 177, one of the oldest in the world.
