A couple comments to help...Untours are normally for 2 weeks in one =
location, and recently they've begun limited offerings of one week in =
each of two locations. But Untours does not offer anything shorter, =
such as you are contemplating. But have you looked into the Untour =
locations in northern Italy, where you could spend 2 weeks and possibly =
get around to many of the sites you want to see? Untours incountry =
Italian staff can help, altho what they offer is not intended to be =
anything close to an escorted tour.
If you haven't already done so, go to http://www.untours.com/index.asp =
for more info.

Dear idylltourists, We are notg particularly experienced travellers =
(England, France, Greece) and are initmidated by the thought of driving =
around northern Italy. We are interested in art particularly and wnat =
to visit the usual art destinations for tourists plus some that are off =
the beaten tour track--e.g. Piero's "Legend" in Arezzo. =20
Our question is this: Has anyone combined a "regular" escourted =
tour, say of Tuscany and perhaps Venice, with an Untour experience of, =
say, five days? Is the driving in Italy difficult? Is a plan like =
this one practical? Does anyone know of flexible tour plans that might =
fit our wishes?
Any and all advice will be much appreciated.
