NEW YORK - June 25, 2013 - PRLog -- A new twist on the travel guide makes Tuscany a top pick for family getaways this summer.
The lure of rich art, culture and cuisine of Tuscany (Italy) makes it one of the most idyllic vacation spots on the globe. Yet, those traveling with kids may find it intimidating without intelligent insight on family friendly accommodations, outings and attractions suitable for younger generations. For those that have been dreaming of a trip to the region but have felt it a daunting prospect with the whole family in tow, this is the easy path to creating an unforgettable and well-rounded trip that everyone will love.
This unique travel book offers a comprehensive guide to “Tuscany with Kids” providing a detailed map of the region, highlighting all of the best sights and activities for families, along with interactive ‘kids’ missions’ that will turn children into little detectives. Plus, discover plenty of practical and up to date tips on travelling in Italy and travelling with toddlers to teenagers, without the stress
Written by an experienced journalist and author who has been living in and traveling throughout Tuscany for nearly a decade reading brings to life a vibrant passion for the area and its history, and serves up one of the most in depth excursions into Florence and Tuscany, with a fresh and stimulating new look at Italian culture, art and food.
Just as importantly, it cuts out what would otherwise require hours upon hours of research on the web, filtering through unreliable information.
The adventure packed new work covers all of the main attractions in Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Siena, the Val d’Orcia, the Maremma, northern Tuscany and more.
Rather than just providing the usual stale list of museums and attractions the destination offers, this practical publication dishes up fun and interesting daily itineraries that simplify travel planning and ensure visitors are able to effectively combine the true charm of Tuscany, Italy with a robust menu of kid-friendly activities so that the whole family can have a wonderful time, and experience a memorable vacation they’ll look back on fondly for decades.
Choose from plans incorporating seasonal events, medieval festivals, races, horseback or Segway tours, adventure parks, beach outings, wine tasting and cooking classes for all ages as well as hands on art.
However, what really makes it stand out for families is the featured ‘Kid’s Corners and missions’ provided with each itinerary. Here even the youngest readers and most unengaged teenagers will be converted into travel geeks and inspired explorers. How much does the Leaning Tower of Pisa weigh? How did medieval noble men train their falcons? And what was life really like in the Medici palace in Florence? The Kid’s Corners incorporate fun stories and anecdotes, from everything about wild pirates to knights to legends of Florence’s crazy rulers and will keep children occupied during travel to make the entire experience a pleasure.
Author Ariela Bankier says “I decided to write this guide because I felt there simply weren’t any good enough options for families travelling to Tuscany. There is so much to see and do here, and I am sure this guide will help families build a vacation to remember”.
