This full-day bus tour starts in Florence and heads to San Gimignano, a medieval hilltop town famous for its towers. You will have about two hours of free time to walk the narrow streets, visit artisan shops, and take photos of the skyline. After San Gimignano, there is a brief stop at its main piazza to learn about the town’s merchant history. Next, the tour passes by the 14th-century walls of Monteriggioni, where your guide will explain the village’s historic defenses as you view the town from outside the walls. From April to October, you will have about 40 minutes to walk inside the intact walls of Monteriggioni and browse shops; note that this stop is not included from November to March. The group then crosses the Chianti countryside by coach, arriving at a winery where you will enjoy a guided cellar and vineyard visit. This includes tasting three Chianti wines and vin santo, accompanied by a three-course farm-to-table Tuscan lunch. In the afternoon, you arrive in Siena for a guided walking tour (if selected). The guide will show you the contrade banners, artisan shops, and main sights such as Piazza del Campo and Palazzo Pubblico. The tour includes a stop to admire Renaissance architecture and the Palio horse race square. If the cathedral visit option is chosen, you will enter Siena Cathedral and the Piccolomini Library, seeing the polychrome floors and frescoes. After the guided portion, you have free time to explore or relax before the return coach ride to Florence. The entire trip uses a comfortable, air-conditioned coach, includes a licensed tour escort, and offers bilingual guides in certain months. The itinerary may change depending on the season, and the return time is about 30 minutes earlier when Monteriggioni is not visited. Hotel pickup is not included.
