Chianti. No place in Tuscany sounds more evocative and spellbinding than this, a land blessed with a timeless landscape, ancient boroughs, excellent wine and lavish food. A pleasant drive through gently rolling hills takes you to Greve, a delightful borough so perfectly nestled in the scenery to deserve the title of Gate of Chianti, where some time at leisure gives you the chance to browse the center and enjoy its relaxed rhythm of life. Then you head for a local farmhouse, where, after having been shown around their grapevines and cellars, you indulge in a delicious wine tasting accompanied by local specialties, savoring all the colors and the perfumes of this enchanting region.
Continue the tour to Montefioralle, a charming hamlet adorned by stone walls and climbing roses, awaits you for a peaceful stroll along its windy cobbled streets, back to a time when the maximum speed was the one allowed by your own legs. On the way back to Florence, stop in Badia a Passignano, where the imposing estate of its Middle Age abbey reminds you that, once, this place was much more than the lovely promenade it is nowadays. The view of Florence from a particularly enjoyable panoramic point will end the tour and turn the experiences of this day into the most cherished memory.

The small group tour will allow guests to fully enjoy the experience of being thrown back to the time when Rome was the center of the known world and its Emperors could overthrow the fate of lands and people with one gesture. The driver will pick guests up at their hotel and take them to the foot of the Colosseum, where the guide will be waiting to introduce guests to what is definitely more than the biggest amphitheater ever built.
The games and the fights which took place on the arena were more than combats, they were the way the Emperors had to gain consent, to hold the power and also to avoid troubles by diverting people s attention from political and economic issues. Once the visit of the Colosseum is over, continue to the Forum, the center of Rome s political life from the very beginning of its foundation. Here people gathered to do business, to appeal the courts, to cheer politicians or to question them, or simply hung around waiting for time to pass. The remains of the most noteworthy buildings are still visible today, to remind us that the present is always built on the past.
