Enjoy with us some of the best of the Tuscan area in all its splendour and authenticity in only one day.
Itinerary
The first stop is at San Gimignano for two hours, one of the most charming towns in Tuscany, thanks to its typical medieval look. Here you have one and half hours to discover this fascinating city. San Gimignano is famous for the fourteen characteristic towers and for the local white wine “ Vernaccia”. We drop you off and pick you up at San Giovanni gate.
The tour continues at Siena for two and half hours into the heart of Tuscany. A town surrounded by medieval walls. Siena is famous all over the world for its Piazza del Campo where we drop you off, a large square in the centre of the town with its characteristic shell shape where the Palio (horse race) takes place twice during the year. The tour will conclude at the Cathedral where we will pick you up.
The tour finishes with a stop for one and half hours at a small winery to taste the most celebrated Chianti red wine and extra virgin olive oil, products of this region, and you will relax far from the hustle and bustle of Florence having a snack with cold cuts, bread and sheep cheese (not included).
