Mentioned below are other holidays that fall either side of this one. If you would like to book two or more holidays in a row, it will be your responsibility to make your own way between them, however we are happy to offer advice if necessary. The exceptions are tours that are specifically offered as 'pre-festival' or 'post-festival' tours – for these we provide a transfer between tour and festival where needed. Please note that our online booking process allows for only one tour to be booked at a time so please contact us if you would like to book more than 1 tour or music festival.

Excellent. A good balance between walking and looking.
Well-chosen, lovely walks and cultural places. Pienza and Radda were good centres in different terrains.This was a first time for Martin Randall for this tour, and I think it is a winner. We enjoyed everything about it, particularly the variety.Our lecturer and tour manager were an excellent team who complimented each other.Excellent. Faithful to brochure description of tour.
