Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters...
Hello & Welcome from Rita Jean & Kat, sisters, friends and travel partners. We are thrilled to share our Tuscany Tour scrapbook with you. 

In September of 2022, my sister, Rita & I took our first trip to Europe. Visiting Italy was a dream we shared and choosing to take the Rick Steves 12 Days of Tuscany tour (featuring visits to Florence, the Tuscany countryside, the best beautiful hill towns (including Siena and Volterra), the island of Elba, and finally Lucca) was a no-brainer. Choosing to travel with Rick Steves was easy, too. His company has a well-earned, first-rate reputation for offering the highest quality travel experience at fair and affordable prices. We'd never travel with anyone else. 

 

Throughout our site, we share our best tour memories (which is to say, all of them), of the awesome food, wine, incredible history, and (of course) the stunning art we experienced throughout our trip. 

 

Our most cherished memories are of the great people (now friends) we toured with, and the fabulous people we had the pleasure of meeting at each stop along the way.  Andiamo! (Let's Go!)
