Spotlight on Buddy Bombard’s - The Medieval Splendor of Siena and its PalioExperience Tuscany - for 7 days/6 nights, as Buddy Bombard takes you from the medieval streets of Siena to the ancient rooftops of San Gimignano, and across just about every historic cobblestone in between. Each morning our balloon adventure will go across the rolling hills and olive groves of Tuscany, with its gothic abbeys, quaint lost-in-time villages and mighty hilltop castles. Then depart by private car to dine as the luncheon guests of local personalities in their villas and grand ancestral castles, with guided exploration of their estates. Included is coveted premium seating for Palio—Europe’s most passionate medieval pageant and festival dating to the 13th century and culminating with a horse race around Siena’s town square. Evenings are spent as the dinner guests of a frolicking and frenzied contrada (neighborhood) participating in the next day’s Palio race, or at festive dinner parties hosted by Buddy Bombard and featuring authentic and fine Tuscan cuisine. Home during Buddy Bombard’s 5-star trip is, appropriately, 5-star Hotel Grand Continental, Siena, where we’ll stay for 6 nights. >>>read more |
