Tour description

Discover three stunning destinations on a perfectly planned Tuscany day trip from Florence.

In just one day, you'll see, taste, and experience the best of Tuscany, complete with a homemade locally sourced lunch and expert-led wine tasting at a family-run farm in Chianti. We'll whisk you away to Siena and San Gimignano, two of the most stunning towns in Tuscany, helping you experience as much of this storied region as possible without you having to worry about the logistics. With a local tour leader to lead the way as well as an experienced driver to get you from place to place, we've got all the details handled for an unforgettable Tuscany day trip from Florence.

Explore the UNESCO World Heritage town of San Gimignano.

Our day trip to Tuscany starts in the center of Florence, where you'll meet your tour leader, dedicated driver, and small group before boarding a comfortable, air-conditioned luxury vehicle. But before we set off into the rolling hills of Tuscany, we'll make a stop at Florence's best panoramic viewpoint for photos.

Your next stop is the picturesque town of San Gimignano—so visually stunning and architecturally significant that it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You'll have free time to shop for local Italian specialties or climb the city’s campanile for one of the best views in Tuscany.

Enjoy a gourmet lunch paired with impeccable wine on an authentic Chianti farm.

Of course, no Tuscany day trip from Florence is complete without a visit to the wine region! Chianti is a postcard-perfect area full of rolling hills and quaint farmhouses. As the lunch hour draws near, you'll take a tour of a family-run farm and winery, complete with sprawling vineyards and full wine cellars.

Time for lunch—and trust us, it won't disappoint. The menu varies seasonally, as Tuscan cuisine is famously linked to produce and uses only the freshest ingredients for the heartiest, most delicious dishes. Paired with a selection of the vineyard's very own wines, this is Italian food at its finest—and it's all included in the price of your tour.

See the best of Siena with free time to wander at your pace.

With full bellies, we'll move on to eclectic, iconic Siena, which was miraculously spared from bombing during WWII—making it a pristine medieval gem in the midst of the Tuscan region. After a brief introduction to the city by your tour leader, stroll through the historic streets of the city center on your own. During your free time, you'll be able to see the famed Siena Cathedral and the location of the biannual Palio horserace.

From start to finish, the emphasis of our Tuscany day trip from Florence is on indulgence. Indulge in stunning scenery, delicious wines, and lazy strolls on our all-inclusive Tuscan adventure. We’ve taken care of all the details so all you have to worry about is how much Chianti wine you can fit in your suitcase.

Please note that this description is an example and your experience may vary depending on the season, day of the week, and group size. Regardless of where your tour goes, you always have an excellent experience.

Brett

This tour was a real highlight of our Florence visit. Christina/Maria was so knowledgeable and engaging (made a good day great). Both Siena and San Gimignano are much bigger than I expected so research where you would like to see in the approx hour you will be in each location. The visit to Chianti with wine tasting was very well done also. Would highly recommend.
