Florence: Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa and Chianti Grand Tour – Florence, Italy

EXPERIENCE:

Starting from Florence, you will be taken to Siena by an English-speaking driver and tour leader. You will first enjoy a guided walking tour of the ancient town, which will also let you discover Piazza del Campo, the main central square where the famous Palio horse race takes place every year. You will also explore the quieter backstreets whilst learning everything about the “Contrade,” the 17 Medieval city districts that compete against each other in the Palio.

Your journey then continues to San Gimignano, which is renowned for its “Medieval skyscrapers”, high walls, and narrow streets that typify most peoples’ image of a Tuscan hill town. San Gimignano is unique in the preservation of about a dozen of its tower houses, which, with its hilltop setting and encircling walls, form an unforgettable skyline.

After some free time in San Gimignano, you will reach a prestigious Chianti boutique winery. This will be the ideal setting for a relaxing break during the day, letting you savor a delicious Tuscan lunch and taste some great Chianti wines while learning about wine production.

A stop in the square of the Medieval town of Impruneta will let you discover the ancient art of terracotta, this being the capital of the material and its multiple uses both in art and in construction. You can relax with beautiful views from the window as you reach Pisa and explore its famous Piazza dei Miracoli (Miracle Square).
This is a magnificent space with an incredible cathedral and baptistry, all dominated by the world-renowned Leaning Tower. Your final drive will take you back to Florence, leaving you with your eyes, mind, and heart filled by the infinite discoveries of your incredible journey.
