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.

Trip itself was great- a little confusing to get checked in for the bus in the morning- All the sites were excellent- A note to guides: please count guests as they re-enter the bus after every excursion- they almost left one behind- All in all, I would highly recommend this tour, very reasonable!

It was an ok tour. We were expecting a smaller bus but it was big and full. The guide was fluent in English and Spanish and gave her presentations in those. She was knowledgeable of the areas and took us to the places safely with good pointers. We were given freedom to wander and see the cities as we wanted.Perhaps a bit more time in each place but we saw a lot. The wine was great, the dinner so-so.

We had a great time. Siena was very busy due to it being the day of the horse race but great to see the actual track where they run. The guide in Siena was very knowledgeable and passionate about Siena. I thought we had the right amount of time at both Monteriggioni and San Gimignano
