Does the sound of world-class art collections, charming medieval hill towns, and sweeping hillsides full of vineyards sound good to you? If the answer is yes, then plan to join the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce as we embark on an adventure to explore Tuscany in October 2025. Located in the central region of Italy, Tuscany is known for its landscapes, history, artistic legacy, and influence on high culture. It is regarded as the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and the home of Michelangelo’s famous sculpture David, not to mention the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Tuscany’s immense cultural and artistic heritage is expressed in the region’s churches, palaces, art galleries, museums, villages, and piazzas. Florence, one of the world’s most important watercolor centers, is often nicknamed the Art palace of Italy.

This nine-day experience, scheduled for October 14-22, 2025, features visits to several Italian cities, including Tuscany’s capital city of Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Siena, the villages of Cinque Terre, the Chianti region (home of Chianti wine), and San Gimignano. Accommodations for the entire stay will be at one luxurious hotel in the beautiful, tranquil hillside city of Montecatini, conveniently located in the central part of Tuscany. An optional two-night Rome extension post-tour is available. Treat yourself to capital city, immersing yourself in the rich history of this ancient city, including a stop at the Vatican. 

Competitively priced at $3799, the trip includes round trip international airfare out of Omaha, first-class hotel accommodations for seven nights, ten meals, fully escorted tours with experienced tour guides, optional tours, and plenty of free time to explore Tuscany on your own, and at your own pace. Travelers who make a deposit by March 31, 2025, will receive a $100 discount.

This will be an unforgettable experience you won’t want to miss! Let us take the stress out of international travel. Simply relax as the itinerary is meticulously planned for you, and tours are pre-scheduled, allowing you to make the most of your time in Italy and see all the sights. As an added bonus, you will travel with others from the Siouxland community, giving you an opportunity to meet new people and build lasting friendships.
