This is a special tour for people wanting to learn more about Italy’s Renaissance period – a cultural movement that changed the world.

On a fascinating 3-week journey we’ll visit numerous sites, some of them internationally-renowned, some of them little-known gems. Vast palaces and country villas, magnificent cathedrals and quiet chapels, elegant piazzas and ornamental gardens, all of them home to seminal works of Renaissance art and architecture.

The tour will be led by expert art historians, as well as Tamarillo Active Travel’s directors Marina Mantovani and Anthony Norris. These experienced guides will introduce the art and the characters behind them - the patrons, politicians and popes whose rivalries fuelled this intense period of growth and the artists, architects and scientists whose strokes of genius drove development forward.

For anyone wanting to stretch their legs and breathe the country air several guided walks will be offered along the way.

More about the  accommodation:

We'll be staying in a succession of 4-star hotels, with two or more nights at each place to allow you time to relax and enjoy them. 4 nights in Rome, 2 nights in Orvieto, 3 nights in Siena, 2 nights in Volterra, 3 nights in Lucca and 7 nights in Florence: the itinerary has been carefully designed to be packed with experiences but never rushed.
