If you’re looking for a vacation package deal that doesn’t involve being herded around like sheep from tourist attraction to tourist attraction via an oversized tour bus, then this is the deal for you. For as little as $1,189 you’ll get six nights in hotels in Tuscany, breakfast every day, detailed maps & directions – and you’ll get to create your own walking tour of Tuscany.

Yes, basically you pay someone to tell you where to walk. Which may seem odd, but this way you won’t get lost. And you know you’ve got the lodging part covered. Plus, someone else is hauling your bags from hotel to hotel, so you can just walk and enjoy the scenery without worrying about carrying a heavy pack through the Tuscan hills. Okay, it’s not the vacation package for everyone, but if you’re intrigued here are the details:

• This deal is good on trips through October 31, 2008.
• There’s no booking deadline – it’s based on availability.
• Airfare isn’t included in this deal.
• There’s no tour guide who’ll be hanging out with you; maps & directions will be at your hotel when you arrive each day.

Be sure to read all the deal details before you book.
