Itinerary
Morning time – At your custom Florentine hotel or Florence Train station or Florence Airport will be greeted by our English Speaking Driver, who will be holding a ‘’Greeting Paper’’ with your name on it. In an elegant and comfortable Mercedes Benz vehicle, he will chauffeur you to Volterra through panoramic Tuscan routes.
Upon your arrival in Volterra, our English Speaking Driver will begin the visit of the city with Volterra’s Ancient Roman Theatre. You will visit an authentic Alabaster laboratory, where you will witness the ancient craftsmanship first hand and have a chance to shop for unique pieces. Finally, they will visit the medieval Piazza dei Priori, located in the heart of the town’s centre.
The tour will then proceed with a visit to the Teatro del Silenzio amphitheatre in Lajatico. This unique outdoor venue, built in 2006 by Andrea Bocelli, hosts the Maestro’s annual Teatro Del Silenzio concert – held every summer in July or August. The tour will then continue in Lajatico’s city centre, the Maestro’s hometown, which he often reaches by horse from his home in the countryside.
You will then be chauffeured to the Bocelli Farmhouse property, also located in Lajatico. You will begin with a guided visit of the Bocelli vineyards in Poggioncino, adjacent to the Farmhouse – enjoy the external view of the Farmhouse. Our knowledgeable driver will educate the guests on the history and growth of the acres of grapes.
The tour will then move to the Officine Bocelli Restaurant, where a member of the Bocelli family will host a wine tasting experience for our guests. You will be introduced to the various types of wine produced by the family, the history behind the brand, as well as have a chance to sample the family’s oil and honey products.
After the wine tasting and before lunch, guests will have the chance to visit "Casa Bocelli" museum located on the first floor above the restaurant. The Museum shows Maestro Bocelli's achievements, incredible pictures of his artistic career and some belongings from his childhood.
For lunch, the Office Bocelli Restaurant will serve to clients a four course meal which includes: antipasto, first course, second course with a side dish, dessert, wine, coffee and water. Again, guests will taste typical Tuscan food.
At the end of the lunch time, you will have an opportunity to shop the products at the boutique located within the restaurant.
The final stop on the tour will be Pisa: clients will be chauffeured to Piazza dei Miracoli where they will have time to shop or enjoy a gelato at a cafè. They will also have time to admire externally the Baptistery and the world famous Leaning Tower.

Fantastic attention to detail. From the moment I booked they were so helpful. Every question answered. The quality of everything once I was on the trip was first class. I would highly recommend this company. One.if the best trips I've ever been on
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had such a fantastic experience — it was a pleasure having you with us. We truly appreciate your feedback! 🌟
Our driver Blendi was wonderful. This was the best day of our trip. He was very professional and courteous. We will definitely use this service again when we are back in Italy
Thank you for your review! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great experience with Great Italy Tour, it truly means a lot to us. Arrivederci! GIT Team
Our trip with the Great Italy Tour was unforgettable! The team organized a program before the Andrea Bocelli concert with a visit to the family vineyards, wine tasting and a delicious lunch. The trip filled us with new experiences, emotions we will definitely never forget!
We had a fabulous time attending the Teatro Del Silenzio tour with Great Italy Tours. The Andrea Bocelli concert was fantastic and such a unique experience. The tour included seeing the Bocelli family’s Beach Resort, Winery, and Restaurant. All were wonderful and such a special memory. The entire Bocelli family along with their staff were so nice. Great Italy Tours couldn’t have made the whole trip so easy and their staff were just as nice and accommodating. Our tour guide/specialist; Lorenzo and our initial contact agent, Roberta, were so pleasant to deal with. You can see that Great Italy Tours is not just a place to work, but a family that give pleasure in providing great service and a wonderful experience to their customers! Thank you all for a memory of a life time! Doug and Patti
Very special team! We went to Andrea Bocelli's show in Lajatico and everything was great. Thank you, Roberta and all the team for taking care of us in every moment during this absolutely special day! Our warm regards, Mônica and José.
The hotel views were amazing! The guide, knowledgeable. Easy peasy, show up and load into the bus. Delicious food too. Loved the concert and the Bocelli vineyard, beach club and farmhouse restaurant experience. One suggestion I have is to offer salads with the meal. So much pasta! And a bus to the hotel would be welcomed too!
this was the most magical trip , making memories as a family , we were looked after from pick up to drop off, all the team were fabulous with us , nothing was too much trouble , our driver Georgio was fantastic
Fabulous trip for the once a year Bocelli concert at Lajatico, Italy with Great Italy Tours in July 2024! Special wine tastings, lunches, dinners, guided museum tours, visits to Florence, Siena, Pisa, and the grand finale of fabulous seats for the Andrea Bocelli concert in his home town ❤️🎉👏🏼and amazing English speaking drivers Giuliano and Andrea who were with us every day.
We are Bocelli fans, but the opportunity to have the "Bocelli Experience" for a week we could not pass up. Everything was perfectly planned. We had a variety of activities and had an English speaking driver for the week. The ABF Charity event was fabulous before the concert with outstanding seats. Couldn't have been any better. Highly recommend.
Maurizio and the entire Great Italy Tour team are THE BEST! They take care of every detail ensuring that your trip is fabulous. We are repeat customers...this was our 5th time using Great Italy Tour and we won't even consider using another company. We have opted for customized itineraries and each time they seem to outdo themselves. We highly recommend Great Italy Tour!
