Small Group, Private Transfers – Covid-19 note*

ArtViva has only high quality small group tours. Usually you’ll either be in a car or a minivan as you travel through the Tuscan countryside. No big buses, or groups of 100 plus like some tours! *For this reason in the current months we are unable to run the small group semi-private version of this tour as we are not able to maintain social distancing. Please book a private tour from the calendar if you wish to join us this summer.
