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.

Guter Zeitplan (Einschränkung siehe unten), nette Guide, zwei sehr gute und nette Fahrer. Gruppengröße okay. Sehr enttäuschend war leider die Weinverkostung. Erinnerte mehr an eine Kaffeefahrt, ständig wurde darauf hingewiesen, was man im Bestellzettel ankreuzen soll. Olivenöl, Balsamico und Wein waren durchschnittlich, die Pasta auch. Es gab keine Weinkellerbesichtigung, oder Blick in die Weinberge oder irgendetwas anderes, was man nicht auch in einem durchschnittlichen Restaurant hätte haben können. Auf dem Rückweg ist die traumhafte toskanische Landschaft an uns vorbeigerauscht, ohne jegliche Möglichkeit, sie zu genießen. Ja, wir waren alle platt, aber ein kurzer Stopp an einem Aussichtspunkt hätte noch sehr gut in den Zeitplan passen können. Insgesamt war das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis für einen "ultimativen Toscana-Tagesausflug" nicht angemessen. Leider waren wir etwas enttäuscht.

This tour was a great way to get out of Florence for a day and experience more of what the Tuscan region has to offer. Anna was our guide. She was personable, knowledgeable, and spoke great English. There were only eight of us on this tour, and we rode in two separate comfortable vans with very capable drivers (Marco was ours). Stops in both San Gimignano and Sienna were lovely, with plenty of time to explore on our own after Anna got us started and gave us some helpful background information. The lunch at the winery was very nice. Not the beautiful view of rolling vineyards that I was expecting, although we did see that as part of our drive as well as a bit from the towns. Lunch included several wines and three courses in a cute little refurbished barn in a quiet part of the country, which was so peaceful after the hubbub of Florence. I highly recommend this tour as a great way to see Tuscany outside of the city.

I had a wonderful time on this day trip in Tuscany! Ezgi was our guide and she was amazing. I traveled with my two sisters, all of us retirement aged. Ezgi was so personable and made sure that each member of the tour was looked out for. She was knowledgeable about the areas and the wines and wine regions. Plus, she had great information about the best ways to access certain things and what might suit our specific needs. We really enjoyed visiting with her and appreciated all she did for us. Our driver was great and I appreciated how hard he had to work to get us to all the places safely. The winery we visited was so charming and we had a great education about the wines they produced. We tasted several and were fed some amazing food as we did our tasting. It was a chance to relax and enjoy the tastes of Tuscany. I would recommend this trip to anyone, young or old!

Anna was very knowledgeable. One thing when walking with older people, it would help to make sure everyone is keeping pace.
