Special journeys to be remembered

Incentive travel programme coordinated on the ground in Florence, Tuscany
Our role in your project

Working alongside you, on the ground.

A journey of this kind is never only a schedule of services. It carries a concept, an expectation, and the anticipation of the people who will experience it. Whether the programme is being placed by an agency for its client, or built by a company for the professionals who have earned it, the standard of the delivery is what everyone will remember.

You bring the client relationship, the objective and the vision of the programme. We bring the local presence: the relationships built here over the years, the coordination of every supplier, and the team accompanying the group from arrival to departure. The excellence is delivered together.

We design programmes for groups of up to 40 guests. Our team works in English, Portuguese and Italian, from the first presentation through to the assistance provided on the ground.

Italian roots, multicultural team

A local team with multicultural experience.

Tuscan Lands Travel was founded in Italy, and our team lives and works in the regions we operate. That local presence is what gives us access to the estates, the families and the suppliers who make these programmes possible.

Beside that, our team brings genuine multicultural experience across the North American, Latin American and European luxury markets, working in English, Portuguese and Italian. Assigning a professional who speaks your client's language is the minimum standard. Understanding the cultural expectations behind the request, how your guests prefer to travel and what they consider hospitality, is what distinguishes a programme at this level.

Method

Every project begins with a concept.

Before any property is considered, we establish what the journey is meant to be. Whether it follows a central theme, whether it is a programme of discovery or one built around a slower rhythm, how much time the group will spend within the property itself, whether the setting is coastal or inland. These decisions shape everything that follows, and they are made together with you.

From that foundation we develop what we call the project design: the structure of the journey, presented as a concept proposal before any commitment.

01

The alignment session

A working conversation rather than a presentation of services. We look at the objective behind the programme, the profile of the guests travelling, and the tone the company wants the journey to hold. Everything that follows answers to this brief.

02

The project design

Working from the brief, we define the bases, the rhythm and the preliminary itinerary. Only once that structure holds do we move to the selection of properties, and the experiences are designed around the shape of the journey rather than added to it.

Our selection focuses on boutique properties and five-star hotels, each assessed against the same considerations:

  • Capacity for meetings and private events within the property
  • Standard of service and hospitality throughout the stay
  • Accessibility, including for larger vehicles
  • How much daily movement the location requires of guests
  • Whether experiences can be operated on site
  • Comfort, privacy, and the possibility of a full buyout
03

The concept proposal

The design is presented as a complete concept: the structure of the journey, the territories, the character of each day. Once you have reviewed and validated it, the work continues through a formal consultancy, where we move into the commercial proposal and the detailed selection of venues and services.

We work by project rather than by individual service, because coordinating a programme as a whole is what allows every element to work together on the day. For companies who prefer to manage the coordination internally, we also offer venue sourcing as a dedicated consultancy.

Signature experiences

Beyond the extraordinary.

Private access to a museum before it opens, or a cocktail reception in its rooms after closing. A pizza cooking show where your whole group takes part, ending at a long table outdoors with music, in the atmosphere that only an Italian evening and the Tuscan landscape can offer. These are among the formats that have worked beautifully for our guests, offered here as inspiration rather than as a catalogue. Each programme is designed around the concept it serves.

Where your guests stay

Why we love boutique properties for these programmes.

The renowned hotel groups have earned their reputation, and they remain part of our selection. Beside them we place particular value on boutique properties: the ones that exceed expectations in the detail of their welcome, in the quality of the hospitality, and in the way they receive a group as guests rather than as a booking.

These properties also tend to offer the most interesting formats for exclusive use. We work with residences of eight rooms taken in their entirety, and with properties able to accommodate considerably larger groups, always selected against the concept of your programme.

Ground services

The ground arrangements are part of the experience.

A journey of this standard depends on more than a well-considered itinerary and a refined selection of properties and experiences. It depends equally on how your guests are received, moved and accompanied throughout: a distinguished welcome at the airport, luxury transport, logistics coordinated personally by our team, and assistance in the language of your travellers.

  • VIP airport service, with Fast Track and porter assistance
  • Luxury ground transport: sedans, vans and coaches
  • Executive class rail travel between cities, with a private assistant and porter service
  • Programmes for accompanying guests, including private cultural days and luxury outlet shopping with a personal shopper
  • Dedicated on-site assistance in English, Portuguese and Italian

Peace of mind

In Italy, operating tourism services requires a local licence and mandatory insurance.

Tuscan Lands Travel is a locally licensed company holding the full complement of guarantees required by Italian legislation.

We specialise in luxury FIT travel, incentive programmes and corporate retreats, and we remain a regional company by choice. Local presence is what allows a programme of this level to be genuinely personalised, whether that means a reserved winery visit, private access outside opening hours, or the coordination of an entire journey.

We place real value on partnerships where the work is genuinely shared and every party benefits, and above all on protecting the reputation of the agency or company that entrusts us with their guests.

Let's talk about your guests.

Schedule a conversation with us. We will look at the objective behind the programme, the profile of your guests, and the concept the journey should hold. This is where we begin designing, together, a journey your clients and employees will remember: one that recognises the people it was created for, and brings them the essence of what Central Italy has to offer.
