GGCC Announces Chamber Trip to Tuscany

The Gaithersburg-Germantown Chamber of Commerce (GGCC) invites members of the chamber and the community to experience true Tuscan Culture departing on October 27, 2015.

The GGCC will be offering a fully escorted tour of the region of Tuscany. Tuscany is the place where movies are filmed and fantasies run wild. Perhaps it’s the cities of Florence, Pisa, or Siena that invoke feelings of culture, art, or arouse the senses as do the smells and taste of the Chianti region. The fact is that Tuscany is home to some of the most famous tourist attractions in all of Italy. It is here that budding artists come to learn from the masters, and the world of fashion takes it cues. Tuscany is where romantics rekindle the flame and celebrate their love.

“This is truly an amazing opportunity to discover all that Tuscany has to offer. Tuscany is what many people around the world envision as a true representation of Italy. We will take it all in as the Gaithersburg-Germantown Chamber of Commerce brings the dream of traveling to Tuscany to life,” said Marilyn Balcombe, President & CEO.
