Mediterranean Coastal Journey

*The cable car to Montjuic is suspended at a height between 50 to 150 feet above ground; this activity may not be suitable for people with vertigo.

**On the rare occasion when the Sagrada Família in Barcelona should not be available, you will visit another top attraction instead.

***The Little Train tour operates from February to mid-November. In the other months, you will transfer to the Monte Carlo district by public bus.

****The boat ride to Portofino operates on a weather permitting basis between March and early November. When the weather is uncooperative, you will still visit Portofino, but you will travel there by public bus.

*****Travelling to Cinque Terre requires the ability to climb 3 one-foot-tall steps holding on to ‘pool-ladder’ style railings in order to board the trains. The trains are crowded, and seating is not guaranteed. Trains are subject to delays and prone to public transportation strikes. In the event of a major strike, we may swap the days of the Portofino and Cinque Terre visits. Access to the Cinque Terre can be restricted by the local government in case of severe weather alerts. In the rare occasion of a multi-day strike or weather alert, we will replace Cinque Terre with another attraction.

******Check in to your Tuscan villa accommodations will be after dinner, approximately 9:30 p.m. Villas and country estates in Tuscany are dotted throughout the region and we use different properties on this program. Some may be located in the countryside, removed from a city centre. Still others may be closer to the hustle and bustle of the region. Each one is unique, full of history, with many amenities, and brimming with true Tuscan flavour. This is part of the fun!

*******The truffle hunting activity takes place in the countryside on unpaved paths and in wooded areas. To participate you must wear comfortable, sturdy walking or hiking shoes. Waterproof shoes are recommended as mud and puddles are common in the area.
