Top Versilia Half-day Tours

Take a break from the seaside crowds and venture into the Chianti hills without the hassle of navigating the winding country roads with this tour from Viareggio. Enjoy a scenic drive to the village of Vinci, where you can visit Leonardo da Vinci’s birthplace.

See a side of Tuscany that many visitors miss—and discover one origin of the region’s artistic heritage—when you book a small-group tour to the Carrara marble quarries. Within view of the Apuan Alps and home to famously pure marble (which was once used by sculptors the likes of Michelangelo), the quarries are still functional today. Go on a behind-the-scenes tour to learn how the stone is sourced. Complement your trip with a visit to the village of Colonnata, where you’ll taste its famed lardo: cured pork fat.

Explore the beautiful Chianti region on this small-group tour from Lucca. Travel by minivan to the hills of Tuscany to sample local wines from a few historic cellars.

Explore the idyllic coastal countryside of Versilia without the hassle of a guidebook or map with this guided cycling tour from Lido di Camaiore. Pedal along the seaside as far as Viareggio, then turn inland through shaded pine groves rich in wildlife to reach Torre del Lago. Take a break to admire the view and try to spot deer, wild boar, and herons before the ride back to the starting point.
