Full description

Embark on a scenic guided tour from Florence to the charming Tuscan towns of San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, and Siena. Stroll around the historic villages and enjoy a delicious Chianti Hills wine and balsamic vinegar tasting. Upgrade your experience with tickets to Siena Cathedral.

Start at San Gimignano, the world-famous walled town located on a hilltop, which has remained intact through the centuries and is known for its tall towers, frescoes, and many other works of art. Take around 2 hours of free time to explore the city center.

Visit the historical walled hamlet of Monteriggioni. Cross Chianti’s rolling hills to a cozy winery where you can relax and enjoy three wines and balsamic vinegar, followed by a Chianti-style three-course lunch.

Enjoy a guided tour of Siena’s historic center (if selected in the option), starting with the 13th-century Basilica of San Domenico. Stroll along the narrow medieval streets of the city, flanked by splendid palaces and historic shops. Pass through the Piazza del Campo and visit the cathedral, if you select the option. 

Take some free time in Siena before returning to Florence.

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!
