Impruneta and the Florentine hills – Half day
Olive trees are an ever-present part of the Tuscan landscape. Some trees are 300 years old and have silently followed the history of mankind. This excursion takes you to the heart of the Tuscan oil kingdom – the hills around Impruneta, San Casciano, and Tavarnelle. Here the olives are still collected by hand with the help of tall wood ladders leaning against the olive branches. The oil is still stored in enormous terracotta brick jars manufactured in Impruneta.

Simon, CanadaWe did the Barolo tour in March 2023. Driver Toni and guide Maria were really wonderful. They were on schedule and knowledgeable of the area. The van was very comfortable and they were flexible to pick us up in one village (Torona) and drop us off in another city (Genoa) which really helped our travel logistics. We highly recommend.
