Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2006 | Tuscany offers a "dolce vita" mix of hearty cuisine, fascinating history, and gentle beauty. First we'll learn about the original Tuscans — the ancient Etruscans — at Volterra's Etruscan Museum, then we'll tour a hill town that was important to both the Etruscans and the Romans, head into the woods for a truffle hunt, eat slow food Italian-style during Sunday lunch in Chiusure, and finish in Montepulciano, where we'll get passionate about the local wine. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #tuscany

One thing I have to say is that Steve's voice is very soothing. I saw many tour documentaries, but Rick Steve's is the best.

In the world, there are beautiful landscapes, more beautiful landscapes and a third category - those that are uncomparably unique. That's where I place Tuscany! Thank you, Rick, for your wonderful video. Barbara
