Take a Dream Vacation to Tuscany

Photographer Stephen Banks, who joined the Wayfarers Walks in Tuscany this summer says it is a ‘must-do’ vacation for anyone who enjoys taking pictures.
‘You know you’ve had a successful trip when you end up with more than 1,500 images with which you’re pleased!’ he said.
“Walking through ancient towns, with churches and castles, through stunning landscapes in the sunshine – I was spoiled for choice!
‘The first thing that struck me was the size of the landscapes. I knew Italy was a relatively small country, but when you’re standing on top of the town hall in Montepulciano, for instance, and you see a vast expanse of countryside, penned in by mountainous peaks, and a huge sky above, you realize what a joy it is to photograph.
