10-day tour: Florence Siena & Rome

 
 
"Thank you for the best week in 30 years that Jim and I have had as far as a vaction. You did everything you promised...plus more! We would be happy to travel with you again in the future."  Jim & Susan Amis
 
Combine three of the most incredible destinations on earth: timeless Rome, breathtaking Florence and its neighbor to the south: Siena during the Palio. Take a midnight walk to Rome’s trevi fountain and get your feet wet as our guides serve champagne and strawberries. Wander Renaissance Florence and wonder, “What century is this?” as the Duomo Cathedral bells toll. Walk back in time as you cross the Ponte Vecchio before seeing Michelangelo’s David. After a day of sight-seeing, enjoy a rooftop dinner overlooking Florence’s Renaissance skyline. From Florence, it’s on to Siena and the 700 year-old Palio race. Once checked into your hotel, you’ll experience Siena’s Palio like a local. Your Spyns guide and personal concierge will escort you to the well-known sights (like the Duomo and Piazza del Campo) but also some lesser-known places as well. Get caught up in Palio fever at a pre-race dinner in your chosen district (or contrade in Italian). On race day, it’s up to the Spyns balcony for an unbeatable view of the race. Watch a pre-race procession that hasn’t changed in over 400 years before cheering on your contrade to victory. After the euphoria, join us for a private send-off dinner in one of Siena’s newer restaurants…only in business for 150 years. La Dolce Vita!
