Included excursions
Full day Isle of Elba - Today we enjoy a very special excursion, enjoying a boat ride to the beautiful Isle of Elba. Situated off the Tuscan coast, Elba is the third largest of Italy's islands. You'll find unspoilt, rugged scenery, beautiful beaches and a pleasant Mediterranean climate. Sample some delicious local delicacies in one of the cafes or restaurants, or why not visit the Villa del Mulini, the house in which Napoleon was famously exiled, now a popular tourist attraction.
Full day Cinque Terre - Cinque Terre consists of five beautiful villages that literally cling to the coastline. The villages remain unspoilt, and offer an insight into how life used to be. We journey between the villages by train from La Spezia station.
Full day Lucca and Pisa - A visit to the ancient medieval Tuscan city of Lucca, one of Tuscany's best-kept secrets, with a pretty maze of cobbled alleyways; and Pisa, home to the iconic leaning tower.
