Whether visited as a day trip from Florence or arranged as a standalone trip, our favorite cities of Tuscany—Lucca, Siena, Pisa, Val d’Orcia, as well as the Carmignano countryside—are magnificently distinct, each offering a different glimpse into Italian life and culture. Explore the diversity of Tuscany with Context's private and semi-private guided tours.

Lucca is one of our favorite towns in Tuscany, and our half-day Lucca Tour is a great way to explore it. With a super-knowledgeable local historian at our side, we'll immerse ourselves in a mixture of history, language, local tradition, and contemporary life. Coming on a cruise ship and visiting Pisa for the day? Our insider Pisa Tour pairs us with a historian for three hours in order to make the most of the trip. For those renting a villa in Tuscany and spending more time exploring, we highly recommend our all-day Val d'Orcia Tour and our culinary adventure in Carmignano, two excursions for getting off the beaten path.
