VBT Bicycling and Walking Vacations, The Italy Travel Expert, is pleased to announce a new bicycling vacation in the northwest corner of Tuscany. Cycling Italy’s Middle Ages: Lucca to Pisa, joins VBT’s line of Italian vacations with six fall departures starting Sept. 7, 2014.
“We have been leading active tours in Italy for over 20 years and our travelers want even more in this amazing country,” said VBT President Gregg Marston. “Our product development team responded by putting together a unique new trip with historic sites, accommodations, bike routes and cultural experiences.”
This new tour highlights Pisa and Lucca, as well as more off the beaten track destinations such as Montecatini and Vicopisano. As with any vacation with the Italy Experts, VBT brings travelers closer to the local culture through fascinating off-the-road experiences such as home-hosted meals, museum visits, guided tours, and unique accommodations. A few highlights:· Meet descendants of the Ginori Lisci family—of the world-famous Italian housewares brand—for a prepared lunch on the manicured grounds of the Ginori villa.
· Cycle along undulating rivers, through quaint villages and even atop Lucca’s famous city walls.
· Discover the Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa.
· Visit the Leonardo da Vinci museum, Castello dei Guidi, in Vinci.
· Enjoy a cocktail at Terme Tettucio.
The 10-day experience starts from $3,845, including roundtrip international airfare from New York (JFK), stays at authentic three-, four- and five-star Italian accommodations, 15 meals, use of a custom VBT bicycle and helmet, van support and the services of two local, Italian VBT trip leaders. VBT also offers a seven-day, land-only package from $2,845.
