This 11-hour coach tour departs from Florence and covers several Tuscan highlights including San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, the Chianti region, and Siena. The first stop is the historic center of San Gimignano, a walled hilltown known for its medieval towers and frescoed churches. Visitors have two hours to walk around on their own, visiting artisan shops, quiet streets, and viewpoints over the Val d’Elsa. Next is Monteriggioni, a small fortress village surrounded by intact 13th-century walls. Guests have 40 minutes to explore the piazza, gates, and ramparts. From November to March, this stop is skipped and the return to Florence is about 30 minutes earlier. The tour then follows the Chiantigiana road, traveling through vineyards and olive groves to reach a winery. Here, participants receive a guided tour of the cellars and vineyards, followed by a three-course lunch made with local ingredients. The meal includes a tasting of three Chianti wines plus extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and ends with cantucci biscuits and vin santo. After lunch, the coach continues to Siena where guests have two hours of free time to explore independently. They can walk through Gothic streets, visit artisan shops, and relax in wine bars. The itinerary also includes brief stops at Siena’s Duomo, with a short exterior and interior visit to the striped marble cathedral, and Piazza del Campo, known for its shell shape and the Palio horse race. These stops last 15 and 30 minutes respectively before returning to Florence by coach. The tour includes round-trip transport by air-conditioned coach, a licensed English-speaking escort throughout the day, and assistance at the meeting point. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not provided, and admission to Siena’s cathedral is not included. The order of visits may vary and comfortable walking shoes are recommended.
