Description
Your memorable journey starts with the charming San Gimignano, world famous walled town located on a hilltop, which remained intact through the centuries, renowned for its tall towers, wonderful frescoes and many other valuable works of art: here the tour leader will lead you to the historical center, where you will have around 2 hours of free time for a fascinating discovery.
A short distance from San Gimignano you will visit the charming historical hamlet of Monteriggioni (*), an amazing small medieval village enclosed by its famous walls, which remained standing to this day: free time for inside visit.
From Monteriggioni, crossing the gently Chianti rolling hills, a short ride will take you to a cozy Winery, where you can relax and enjoy the fantastic world of Chianti with its wine and typical products: tasting of three fine wines followed by a Chianti style lunch: 3 course with 'zero food miles' products which ends with "cantucci e vin santo".
Later on, getting to Siena, you will meet your professional local guide who will lead you on a comprehensive guided tour of the historic center, starting from the famous Basilica of San Domenico, a jewel of Renaissance art built in the 13th century and dedicated to St. Catherine of Siena, of which preserves a relic. Then strolling along the narrow medieval streets of the city, flanked by splendid palaces and historic shops, passing through Piazza del Campo, of which the Palazzo Pubblico (Town Hall) is the focal point, you will get to the spectacular Cathedral of the 12th century (inside visit if option selected), of which you can admire the magnificent architecture and the splendor of the polychrome marbles.
You will also have some free time to FINAL your perfect day enjoying the unique atmosphere of this amazing city, before the return to Florence in the evening.
Please note that the order of the visits may change
(*) From November to March, the itinerary does not include the stop at Monteriggioni and the return to Florence is approx 30 minutes earlier

Contratamos esto casi sin expectativas y terminó siendo lo más lindo del viaje. Nos dejaron en Florencia sin ninguna vuelta de más. La camioneta estaba impecable y con lugar de sobra para las valijas. Para lo que incluye, el precio es más que razonable.

Worth every penny
We came away delighted. We were speechless at Florencia. A full day outdoors that flies by. Punctual and smooth, no hiccups. If only every tour were run like this.

Buena experiencia
Vale la pena, con algunos detalles a pulir. Nunca hubiéramos llegado a San Gimignano por nuestra cuenta. El guía sabía mucho, aunque a veces costaba escucharlo con el ruido de la calle. Se hizo un poco largo en la parte del medio.

Uma das melhores coisas que fizemos em Florencia. Incluir amostragem de vinhos e produtos zero food miles tira o estresse da chegada. Conhecer um pouco de Motoristas Profissionais no caminho foi um plus. Conhecer um pouco de Rápido no caminho foi um plus. Chegamos ao hotel mais rápido do que dizia a reserva. Sem esperas longas em nenhum momento. Obrigado pelo dia que nos proporcionaram.

Buena elección
Contentos con la experiencia, aunque no todo fue perfecto. Que incluya cata de vinos y productos free food miles te ahorra el estrés de llegada. Pagamos bastante menos que otras opciones y la experiencia fue igual de buena. Nos dejaron en Puntual sin ninguna vuelta de más. Nos cambiaron el vehículo asignado sin avisar.

Justo lo que buscábamos. Toscana fue una sorpresa, no estaba en nuestros planes. El guía respondió hasta las preguntas más raras con datos precisos. De lo mejor que contratamos por internet.
