    Discover Tuscany on a guided day tour from Florence to the medieval cities of Siena, San Gimignano, and Monteriggioni. Enjoy views of rolling hills and vineyards, with a stop at a Chianti winery for a traditional Tuscan lunch and wine tasting.

    First arrive in San Gimignano, a tiny medieval town that has remained intact through the centuries. Sitting upon a hilltop, it is famous for its numerous towers, frescoes, and other art treasures. Enjoy more free time to discover this fascinating city on your own.

Afterward, you will cross the Chianti rolling hills and then arrive at a small and typical winery. There, taste 4 wines, and sample balsamic vinegar and other locally produced products. Your final stop is in Siena, where you will have free time to walk along the narrow medieval streets, admiring the splendid palaces, the Cathedral, Libreria Piccolomini, and the famous shell-shaped Piazza del Campo.

    Our guide (Sandro) was absolutely amazing and helpful which was a plus to this fabulous tour. He provided a lot of local info of the places. He planned every steps of our journey thoroughly to ensure none in the group gets lost. The wine tasting and lunch (vegetarian) was well catered for. Highly recommend the 30yr balsamic vinegar. Tour itinerary went exactly as described with ample free time to visit the cities. Coach itself was comfortable and easy to spot.

    Great day with Sandro. He has an excellent sense of humour and made sure all needs are cared for and that we stuck to times. We thoroughly enjoyed the lunch and the visits to the medieval towns. We explored Siena on our own and with guidance of Sandro it was easy. Highly recommended!
