Enter the heart of Siena, and start the visit with your guide. Take off through the town's narrow streets and hear stories about Siena as you go. Skip the line to see the interior of the magnificent cathedral, and pass through the shell–shaped Piazza del Campo, where the Palio horse race is held twice a year. After your walking tour, enjoy some free time to enjoy Siena at your own leisure. Move on to San Gimignano, and admire the unique Tuscan landscape as you drive through marvelous scenery surrounded by olive trees, vines and old stone buildings on your way. Stop at a family owned wine estate to relax and enjoy a traditional Tuscan lunch for a taste of country hospitality. After lunch, take an easy drive to San Gimignano to finish your day. Famous for its splendid skyline of tall medieval towers, have free time to explore on your own. Discover the main street full of typical shops, have a look at the Collegiata (main church), or enjoy a gelato. Return to Florence in the late afternoon.

    This tour was well run and made the perfect stops with the perfect amount of time at each stop. Stefano, our driver, and Alessandro, our tour guide, we’re amazing and so patient. Especially because we were traveling with 4 small children. The tour bus was super clean and fairly new (with air conditioning, a must in the Summer!). I highly recommend this tour if you want a taste of Tuscany and only have a day. Also, it was very family friendly.

    This tour was a perfect introduction to Tuscany. Our tour guide, Ellie, was very knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations for Siena and San Gimignano. We saw many churches while we were in Italy, but the Siena Cathedral may have been the most impressive. The wine estate was charming. Lunch was tasty and we now have a better understanding of Chianti wines. We appreciated the smaller size of the group.

    We very much enjoyed our tour with Ellie and Angelo. It was a great way to see a little bit of Tuscany beyond Florence. Siena is absolutely amazing and San Gimignano is a treasure - time between tours with Ellie and free time was well balanced and we didn't feel rushed. The wine at lunch was a highlight. ;)
