Program details

Discover the rich history, glorious scenery and stunning art of Tuscany all in one day with this memorable tour of the region. Take in Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa and many more beautiful Tuscan villages as you explore the region’s splendid cities and picturesque countryside. Enjoy a delicious homemade lunch full of fresh local products in a traditional Tuscan farm and sample a selection of wines from the region’s many vineyards before returning to Florence.


Head for Siena, one of Italy’s prettiest cities, and admire its small medieval streets, tiled roofs and open courtyards. Your local guide will lead you through Siena’s winding pathways, taking in the oldest bank in the world, the intricate cathedral and the Piazza del Campo, home to the famous 600 year old Palio horse race.


From Siena drive into the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside to enjoy a delicious lunch at a local farm, including handmade pasta and cured meats, salad and typical local cheese, all served with plenty of wine from the region. Sample Vernaccia, Chianti and Vin Santo before moving on to one of Tuscany’s famous wine towns, San Gimignano.


Admire the tall, narrow towers of San Gimignano’s town center, often nicknamed the “Manhattan of the Middle Ages” due to its medieval skyline representing a modern city. Explore its cobbled stone streets, charming squares and browse the many local craftsmen’s shops along its charming streets.


Make your way past scattered hilltop hamlets and little churches on your way to the final stop of the tour, Pisa. Discover its “Field of Miracles” where the green grass contrasts with the majestic white of the Duomo, the Baptistery and of course the iconic Leaning Tower. Be sure to bring your camera to capture both the man-made and natural beauty of Tuscany.
