Seductive Siena
Home of the thrilling horse race, Palio di Siena, history oozes from every nook and cranny of this medieval city. On a Just You tour, you’ll see all the highlights, and there will also be time for you and fellow single travellers to make your own discoveries too.
Via di Città is a good place to shop, especially for food, and you’ll find some of Italy’s finest delicatessens on this street. For a true taste of the city, try panforte, a rich cake bursting with fruit and nuts, particularly popular at Christmas. This is the perfect gift for someone special at home.
Flavours of Florence
In the company of your Just You Holiday Director you’ll discover the beauty of Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance. The city is packed with artistic and architectural treasures, from the magnificent Duomo and Uffizi Gallery to Michelangelo’s David, the Ponte Vecchio and elegant historic piazzas.
There will also be time for you and your single travelling companions to wander through the enchanting streets at leisure. For a true taste of Florence be sure to visit the bustling Central Market. The stalls here are just bursting with the finest Tuscan produce; the choice of fresh fruit and vegetables, fish, meat and cheese is quite breathtaking.
From pizza to pasta and truffles to torte, this is the perfect spot for a bite of lunch too. If you are feeling hungry why not try a bistecca fiorentina. This giant porterhouse steak comes from the highest quality Chianti beef and is traditionally served rare.

Lavish Lucca
Banking and silk guaranteed Lucca’s status as one of the wealthier Tuscan cities and this is reflected in the food too. When you visit Lucca on a Just You tour be sure to try some of the local specialities. Traditionally the pasta here is made with more egg yolks giving a richer colour and flavour to the dough. Tortelli Lucchesi is stuffed with meat and topped with a delicious ragu. If you are looking for something sweeter pop into a bakery or café and ask for buccelato. This local cake is often served with whipped cream and is the perfect accompaniment to a frothy cappuccino.
With a Holiday Director on hand throughout, the specialist knowledge of Local Guides and the company of fellow single travellers, why not make Tuscany your next travelling adventure?
