Itinerary

  • Florence

    Meet your fellow travelers and your tour leader at Piazzale Montelungo in Florence and find a comfortable spot on your bus.

    5 minutes

  • SS 222 Chiantigiana (Pass By)

    Let's start this amazing trip passing by one of the most iconic areas of Tuscany: the Chianti region. The area offers a unique landscape with gentle hills, rolling fields of vineyards and olive groves, small medieval towns and breathtaking sceneries.

  • Historic Centre of San Gimignano

    Even before arriving at your destination, you will be struck by the high ancient towers that define the skyline of San Gimignano. The bus will drop you off at the city gate and with a short walk you will easily reach the main street. Walk through the little narrow cobblestone streets to feel its genuine and unique medieval atmosphere and reach Piazza della Cisterna, once the market square used also as a stage for festivals and tournaments. Take the open passage and enter Piazza Duomo, home to the Municipal Palace, and climb up to the top of the Torre Grossa: the highest tower of the city that counts 218 steps. Once you reach the top, a 360-degree view of the surrounding hills will open just in front of you, making the effort of the climb definitely worth it.

    2 hours

  • San Gimignano

    To end the day in style, thereā€™s nothing better than a beautiful picnic in the Tuscan countryside, accompanied by a wine tasting where youā€™ll have the chance to try typical tuscan products and the famous Vernaccia di San Gimignano: a fresh and delicate white wine with floral and fruity aromas. The perfect opportunity to toast to the adventure just experienced before returning to Florence.

Family Trip through Tuscany

Published on Sep, 2024

Great tour to really interesting places in Tuscany. Our tour guide, Christian, was great at giving us relevant history and answering questions throughout the day. I highly recommend the trip, and would ask for Christian to host/guide it based on our great experience.

Our amazing guide, Christian

Published on Sep, 2024

Can't say enough wonderful things about Christian, our tour guide. He was knowledgeable and had unique facts about not only San Gimignano, but Florence as well (where we started from). He definitely made the experience amazing!

Chianti wine country

Published on Sep, 2023

Enjoyed our tour with Luigi as our tour guide. Though I love the wine tasting, I really enjoyed taking the time to stop by the little shops and experiencing authentic Italian shops.

Highlight of our trip to Florence

Published on Jun, 2023

The Bus was first class along with the driver. The tour guide Luigi was extremely personable and did a fantastic job. The drive through the Tuscan hills was breathtaking. The two wineries were great and the presentations and wine/food pairings were first class. We bought two bottles of wine at the first winery, it was that good. Would definitely recommend this 5 hour trip as it was the highlight of our trip to Florence.

Best driver ever!

Published on May, 2023

Our guide, Christian, took us through the Chianti region and to a wine tasting. Best part of our trip! During the drive, he shared history of wine making as well as history of the area. It was like traveling with a really smart friend! Thank you, Christian!
