[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do Rome, not Tuscany.  Reason:  DO NOT plan to drive a car there if this is your first visit especially if it's only a week.

You can do plenty from Rome and have more options for train travel to smaller locations for day trips/hikes. [/quote]

I would not drive a car around the cities, especially since parking is impossible, but you do need a car to explore the Tuscan countryside.  The best way to travel from Florence to Rome is the high speed train.[/quote]

NP here. Is there no way to see Tuscany via public buses or arranged tours (like van tours, arranged by the hotel)?

I was hoping not to rent a car, deal with parking, etc[/quote]

I would contact the hotel concierge directly.  You can almost arrange to hire a local taxi driver for daytrip excursions if bus tours aren’t available.  It’s not cheap of course.

Driving around Tuscany is quite easy, but we had to return the car to Florence which was really quite tricky.[/quote]
