Description - What to expect

Meet your English-speaking tour leader just before 09:00 am and start your Tuscany Tour from Florence in the comfort of an 8-seat minivan towards historic Siena, where you’ll be enchanted by the architecture of the Cathedral and the Palazzo Communal in Piazza del Campo, home to the famous Palio horse race held in July and August.

Next to your Tuscany Tour from Florence, drive to San Gimignano, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the most famous walled medieval hill town in Tuscany. The town is also known as the "Manhattan of Tuscany" due to the many old towers. Benefit from your knowledgeable guide and learn all about the area and its history. Spend some time wandering around the town through its narrow alleys and try some of the Tuscan delicacies in the local shops. Don't miss trying some of the famous gelato produced in the area.

On the way to Siena, you’ll also visit Monteriggioni, where you’ll have the opportunity to see where the Hollywood sensation, Gladiator was filmed. Here you will be able to marvel at wonderful views of the Tuscan countryside from the ancient walls and do your shopping in the small shops selling locally made souvenirs.

Continue your Tuscany Tour from Florence winding through the rolling hills of Chianti admiring the endless strips of vineyards, olive trees, cypresses, and everything that makes this land a dream-like place. Stop at a local winery surrounded by vines, flowers, and olive groves for a wine and olive oil-tasting experience. Then drive back to Florence where you will be expected to be at around 6.00 pm.
