Description
UNESCO World Heritage-listed Siena and San Gimignano are two of the brightest jewels in Tuscany’s crown, and this thrilling half-day tour takes in both – with round-trip transportation from Florence included. Explore medieval Siena on a guided walking tour, and gain insight into the history of must-see sites like the Piazza del Campo. Enjoy free time to wander around the hilltop village of San Gimignano, and soak up the atmosphere at your leisure. Your day ends with a traditional Tuscan dinner at a local Chianti winery, followed by a cellar visit.
Travel in Comfort from Florence to Siena
Begin your tour with a pickup in central Florence by comfortable air-conditioned minivan, and relax on route to Siena. On arrival, enjoy a guided walk tour of the historic city, and learn the secrets of top attractions such as the Piazza del Campo – where the famous Palio horse race takes place every year. Your expert guide will share the story behind the Palio, and the 17 medieval districts that historically competed against each other.
Before leaving Siena, or heading to San Gimignano, there will be a surprise food-tasting for you!
Marvel at the Medieval Skyscrapers of San Gimignano
Leaving Siena behind, our next stop is San Gimignano – a medieval hilltop village famous for its iconic skyline. There’s no direct train line to the village, and many people ask how to reach San Gimignano from Florence. Our tour whisks you there with ease, with free time to explore at your own pace.
Wander along the ancient streets, admire the elegant Romanesque and Gothic architecture, and soak up the atmosphere at your leisure. Delve into the village’s history, browse traditional products, and you could even head to the top of one of the towers if you’re feeling brave. The scenic views are certainly worth it!
Traditional Tuscan Dinner at a Chianti Winery
Continue onward to a boutique winery nestled among the vineyards deep in the Chianti countryside. As the sun sets behind the rolling Tuscan hills, sit down to an unforgettable evening meal of seasonal delicacies, with wine pairings selected by the winery’s own experts. You’ll also have the chance to visit the cellars with your guide, where vintage Tuscan wines lie slowly maturing in their mighty barrels.
When your time in the Chianti winery comes to an end, return in comfort to central Florence to conclude your tour.

Faultless
We booked this on a whim and it ended up being our favourite day. A really practical way to get your bearings on day one. We went back to Chianti on our own the next day. Great that wine Tasting was included. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Florencia.

Repetiría sin dudar
Una experiencia redonda. Nuestro guía tenía un manejo del grupo impecable, nadie quedó atrás. Lo de Piazza del Campo fue el momento del día. Cinco estrellas bien merecidas.

Ideal para conocer la ciudad
Contratamos esto casi sin expectativas y terminó siendo lo más lindo del viaje. Cambiamos la fecha dos días antes y no hubo ningún problema. Muy buena relación precio calidad. Se agradece que venga con transporte de ida y vuelta desde Florencia en una cómoda minivan. Una experiencia que vale cada minuto.

Contentos con la experiencia, aunque no todo fue perfecto. Cambiamos la fecha dos días antes y no hubo ningún problema. La zona de Piazza del Campo Hollywood de noche es otra cosa. La comida estuvo muy rica y las porciones generosas. Correcto el guía, aunque el micrófono le fallaba cada tanto. El único punto flojo fue el aire acondicionado, que no daba abasto. Se puede mejorar, pero no me arrepiento de haberlo hecho.

Altamente recomendable
Superó lo que esperábamos. Capital de San Gimignano fue una sorpresa, no estaba en nuestros planes. El recorrido está bien pensado, no se repite ni da vueltas de más. Una experiencia que vale cada minuto.
