Your private English-speaking driver will pick you up at the ports of Livorno or La Spezia and will be at your complete disposal for the entire duration of this amazing Tuscany Countryside Shore Excursion.

Volterra Visit

Your adventure begins in Volterra, a medieval town that offers breathtaking views. As you walk through its quaint streets, you will notice the many craft stores and alabaster workshops for which the town is so famous, and you will feel the charm of its past as you admire its buildings and one of the best-preserved Roman-era jewels in Italy: the Roman amphitheater.

Tour of Lajatico and Teatro del Silenzio

Your Bocelli Countryside Escape Tour continues to Lajatico. Located in the province of Pisa and nestled on a hill, this small town is the birthplace of Maestro Bocelli and home to the striking Teatro del Silenzio. The natural open-air theater is embellished with works of art of international artists and every July hosts the annual concert of Andrea Bocelli, its honorary president, which attracts fans from all over the world. When you breathe in the atmosphere of this place, you will understand why Andrea Bocelli chose it for one of his most important events.

Bocelli Family Vineyards Tour and Wine Tasting at Officine Bocelli Restaurant

Lajatico is also home to the Bocelli family estate, which has been winemaking for nearly three centuries and producing goods such as olive oil and honey. You will have the opportunity to take a tour of their vineyards, discovering more about the winemaking process, and to taste their wines. In fact, a member of the Bocelli family will welcome you at Officine Bocelli and take you on a guided tasting of their whites and reds before leaving you to visit the Museum, located in the same building.

Bocelli Museum Visit and Lunch at Officine Bocelli Restaurant

The Bocelli Museum is a magical place for the fans of the great tenor. Inside you can retrace the Maestro's successes, observe the photos of his most important events, and get excited by looking closely at the costumes used on stage, his musical instruments, and other objects capable of telling the story of the artist. Before leaving for Pisa, it is a good idea to refresh yourself: a delicious lunch of Tuscan flavors will be waiting for you at the Officine Bocelli Restaurant. Buon appetito!

Tour of Pisa and Piazza dei Miracoli

After a delicious lunch, you will visit the beautiful city of Pisa. Although it is known worldwide for the Leaning Tower, the city offers many historical and artistic sights, and many of them are located right next to the tower. In fact, you will visit Piazza del Duomo, also known as the Square of Miracles, that will captivate you with its Baptistery, the Campo Santo, which is a monumental cemetery, the Cathedral, and its bell tower, which is the Leaning Tower itself!
