Two charming medieval cities
You can not say that you have been to Tuscany if you haven't visited at least Siena and San Gimignano!
We have organized the perfect tour for you, so you can have the morning at your disposal and comfortably leave Florence in the afternoon.
With our Minivan you will reach one of the most beautiful cities of this region: Siena. Here you will find a local guide waiting to tell you about the fascinating historical events of this medieval city, a true jewel of art and architecture; you will pass by the famous Piazza del Campo where every year during summer the various districts of the city called Contrade compete with the famous horse race that takes the name of Palio from the final prize.
At the end of the guided tour you will delight your palate with a surprise tasting of typical local products!
Let yourself then be lead to San Gimignano, the town that best preserves its walls and its unmistakable medieval towers that rise above the horizon. Here you will have free time to let yourself be surprised by the charm of the town streets, or to buy souvenirs in its shops of typical products and local craft.
With the sunset on the surrounding hills, you will then reach a small but charming Boutique winery where you end the day with a dinner of Tuscan specialties and taste the excellent local wines.

Duration
Sometimes, I crave 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. I find it hard to focus on tasks when I am deprived of those essential hours. In fact, it feels like my body does not function well, and I become agitated.
