ACTIVITIES - www.accidentaltourist.com

We have many activities, and we try to add new good ones, and improve our “classics”.
Each activity guarantees:

We run it with as few as 1 guest and a maximum of 8;
It is hosted by friendly, knowledgeable, English speaking hosts;
It enjoys a relaxed pace, homey atmosphere, beautiful views and plenty of genuine food/ quality wine.
It take you to our private, family, historical home.
It will cost you only if it has met your expectations..
It is accessible to Accidental Tourists club members only*.

For one day you will breathe clean air, forget about the crowds, and become part of a Renaissance scenery. Each season will offer you its country charms: sunflowers in the summer, grapes in the fall, the new olive oil in the winter, and a thousand different herbs and flowers in the spring.

Time will stop, and you will truly live a day in the life of Tuscany.

For total cost, meeting point and departure/return time, see each activity.

*So we ask that you become a member of the Accidental Tourist Cultural Association. Here is why:

– As a member, you have access to historical private properties which can’t comply with the standard tourist requirements such as wheelchair-accessible bathrooms, fire escape and commercial kitchen.

(Ours is not a museum, but a real private home built 870 years ago! )

– When you book more than one activity, your deposit/membership fee will be discounted form the second one.

– When you become an Accidental Tourist member, you are entitled access to all our activities including barter program and hospitality exchange.

_ The membership fee is built in the final price, and it serves as a deposit: so there is no extra cost to become a member; just discounts, if you already are one.

Majla, I hope this note finds you well. As I look through old photos & reflect on this year, I realize that our day with you may have been our best. It was beyond doubt the most meaningful to our daughter, Helen, about to leave for university. In a summer of tumult, she was so calm in your kitchen. So present, so taken by the kindness. She loved working with her hands. I think something shifted in her brain, or maybe her heart. When we left, she said to me on the walk home, “Steve is the happiest person I’ve ever met – She realized – he had designed his life. Lived as he wanted to live: fully, with richness, beauty, and kindness.” She saw a carpet of options unrolling before her. Her life would no longer be a box.
Finally, thank you for all you do to make this world a more beautiful place. If you ever feel it goes unnoticed, it does not. Your fingerprints are all over my child.
Fondly,
