Pack A Fork

Maybe you've already checked Florence off your Italy list.
Or, maybe you've been waiting for the right reason to return.
That's why Gems of Tuscany includes an optional 3-day Florence extension.

After experiencing the Tuscan countryside, you can continue on to Florence for guided walks and visits to some of the city's highlights, including the Arno River, Ponte Vecchio and Accademia Gallery.
You'll also discover a different side of Florence in the Oltrarno district, including a visit to a Florentine artist's workshop where you'll have the opportunity to make a print from an original copper etching.
And if you've already had enough Florence, you have the option to return home after your countryside experience.

It's your trip.
Explore both options at packafork.com.

Why did I create Pack A Fork? I’ve learned over the years that travel is as much about the people you connect with as the places you go. Our world opens up through experiences. I wanted to create opportunities for like-minded travelers 55+ to travel together, make new friends and meet locals to learn about their life's work. It's all about connection!
