Following on from the phenomenal success of our Andrea Bocelli Tours in Tuscany in July 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 in Sicily, we have now secured tickets for Andrea Bocelli's amazing Open Air concert at in Tuscany.

This excellent 4 or 5 day tour departs either on 10 or 11 July 2012. The concert itself will take place on the evening of Thursday 12 July 2012.

Andrea's last four concerts have been total sell-outs and it is not difficult to see why. In concert he is absolutely magical and his stage presence ensures he holds his audience in the palm of his hand. Andrea's special guests are themselves top performing artists.

The 3 night tour includes a walking tour of Siena and the 4 night tour includes walking tours of the Florence, Boboli Gardens in Florence and San Gimignano plus lunch at a Castle in Chianti.

Our Tour Managers will accompany the groups, along with our local guides who can recommend the best restaurants and places to visit during your stay.
Call Glyn or Emma on 01889 882170 for further details.

For those wishing to extend their stay in Italy we are able to book rail/concert/garden/museum tickets and internal flights and hotels in other regions.

............ CUSTOMER COMMENTS ..........

Hello Glyn and Emma
John and I had a really great time in Sicily this year and it was a bonus that Andrea was staying at our hotel and that we actually managed to meet him! It’s been a talking point with our friends ever since! The hotel was in a spectacular position and the concert seats were exactly as you had promised  - right at the front.  This was our first experience with Discovery Travel and I await details of your forthcoming concerts – and hopefully further Andrea Bocelli ones.  We hope to hear from you soon and well done for the Sicily Tour.

John and Penny Grayson, July 2011

To the Discovery team,
"Many thanks for the wonderful break in Tuscany. We had a fantastic time at the Andrea Bocelli concert in July. Aimee the tour manager was lovely, very helpful and approachable. We were most impressed with the upgrade to the Luxury Boutique hotel that Emma recommended. The organization was faultless and all the timings went to plan. The Upgraded seats were right at the front with the best view of the concert. We would like to have a private driver in the future if you could arrange this for us. The whole trip from start to finish was expertly organised"

Mrs Doherty July 2008

“We really enjoyed the Puglia area. The hotel that you recommended and the tour was just what we were looking for.”

Mark Askew, Executive Head Chef at Gordon Ramsay stayed at Medieval Lodge, Puglia

Dear Glyn, Emma & Aimee,
"Thank you so much for a wonderful time in "Tuscany". It was a dream come true for me. To see Andrea Bocelli and be that close to him! I am still on cloud nine!
Thinking of you all and the laughter we had".

Veronica Staples July 2009, 2010 and 2011

"I write to pass on my sincere thanks for a wonderful time. The arrangements made by Discovery Travel were first class. The flight was good, transfers smooth, the Hotel - Grand Hotel Villa Medici was excellent and the seats at the concert were magnificent. The tour guides Glyn and Silvia were most helpful, informative and great company.
All in all the trip was first class and we thoroughly enjoyed the splendid experience. Thank you for a great time and please let us know if you are planning similar trips in future."
