What People Say

12 Days in Tuscany stands out as a unique and memorable experience. Through Shelley and her team of local and international guides and experts, we were exposed to the beauty and depth of Tuscany, its rich architectural treasures, its magnificent landscapes and gardens. The combination of glorious setting, workout for the mind and body, and some wonderful new friends, made this a trip that I would happily want to repeat.

Imagine traveling to Italy and never feeling like a tourist. Shelley has discovered the best of everything Tuscany has to offer -- its landscape and artistic treasures that awaken the senses -- and generously shares it with her guests. Over the years she has discovered the best of everything to share with her guests, creating a vacation experience that is restorative, adventurous and educational. She weaves an experience of art and architecture, culinary excellence and yoga into a lovely adventure.

The hour of yoga with Ian at the end of the afternoon relaxed us and let the many images of the day settle into the mind.

The only downside to Travel with a Twist is that the trip must eventually end. We found great value for money, wonderful new friends, and a superb venue. You have to go!

My trip to Tuscany was filled with many memorable moments. The highlight I recount first every time is the moment I stood beside an art conservationist at the Restoration Studio in Florence, as she swabbed a cotton ball with distilled water across a Raphael canvas of a Madonna & Child, bringing the cerulean blue sky to vivid brightness. My heart skipped a beat as that truly was the moment of a lifetime.

12 Days in Tuscany was one of the best holidays I've had. Although I've traveled throughout Italy three times, I experienced Italy's magic and splendour for the first time on this trip. Shelley's attention to detail and her knowledge of the places we visited was impressive. Each day's excursion exceeded my expectations. Staying in one place meant we weren't lugging our luggage every morning or rushing frantically from one tourist attraction to the next. The amount of free time during the trip and the optional yoga allowed us time to relax and reflect. I treasure the memories and look forward to the next trip.
