Itinerary

The tour starts from Florence and leads you to the atmospheric Medieval gem of Monteriggioni. It was built in 1203 and became a strategic garrison town with its 14 towers, Dante called it the “ring-shaped citadel”. Here you can steep yourself in the past and prepare yourself for the wonders of Siena . Here your local guide will reveal to you its main beauties: the stunning Piazza del Campo, an open-air fish bowl, surrounded by softly-washed Siena stone architectural masterpieces. It really is a showpiece place, worth lingering in and drinking in the richness of the past. Visit Piazza del Duomo and be impressed by the imposing Cathedral, one of the finest achievements of Italian Gothic. Before leaving Siena you will be served a light lunch in a cozy restaurant where, together with genuine Tuscan products, you will savour traditional pastries. After your free time for lunch in Siena, continue on to San Gimignano: the home of the renowned Vernaccia wine. This Medieval town is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and once you're there you'll see why. The secret lies in its soaring towers that seem like skyscrapers! It is a jewel of art and architecture and also boasts one of the best ice-creams in the world! Here you're free to stroll around or just stop and take it all in. Next, Chianti calls. You will visit a rustic wine estate where, after drinking in the landscapes, you can taste and sip quality wines and try the plonk along with oils and local products. This is a tour made for the spirit and the flesh. A perfect way to mix quality culture and cuisine.

Surprise Highlight

Published on Jan, 2025

Tabitha (guide) and Luca (driver) were fantastic! This was the unexpected highlight of our visit. Definitely recommend doing the longer trip so you have more time to check out each of the towns. Our local guide in Siena was also fantastic.

Fantastic

Published on Jan, 2025

My husband and I chose to do a day trip outside of Florence to see a few extra places without the added stress of organizing all the minor details ourselves. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire day and would highly recommend this!

Wonderful teip to Tuscany

Published on Jan, 2025

Alex was one of the best tour guides I have had. He was so knowledgable not only about the particular tour points but other questions asked as well.

Enjoyed the day trip would do it again!

Published on Jan, 2025

Enjoyed the day tour with our guide. I was happy we took the walking tour in Siena. It was only about 30 minutes and we still had time for lunch and exploring the city. The wine tasting was fun too!

A good day spent in the...

Published on Dec, 2024

A good day spent in the Tuscany. Tour guide is attentive & spoke fluently in 2 languages. Small suggestion - reduce 1hr in Siena so that we can reach San Gimignano before it gets dark
