Full description

Spend the day discovering many of the main highlights of the Tuscan countryside on this guided tour with a traditional Italian lunch included. Make your way through the rolling hills as you discover the charm of Pisa, San Gimignano, and Siena.

Your first stop will be Pisa and the Square of Miracles. See the cathedral, baptistery, and, of course, the famous Leaning Tower. The Leaning Tower is almost 56 meters tall, about 183 feet, and leans at about 4 degrees, making it one of the most famous and iconic buildings in the world. 

From Pisa, drive past hilltop hamlets scattered across some of the most beautiful and enchanting areas of the countryside. Arrive at a family-run wine farm where a traditional Tuscan lunch and wine tasting will be served, if the option is selected.

Continue to the preserved medieval village of San Gimignano, a UNESCO World Heritage site often nicknamed the “Manhattan of the Middle Ages” because of its famous tall, narrow towers. Explore the town center and the charming craftsmen shops along the cobbled stone streets and small squares.

End the tour in Siena, a hilltop town rich in art and traditions. Stroll the pedestrian historical center and visit the beautiful local cathedral. Take a guided walking tour along the small medieval streets and squares, passing the oldest bank in the world, and the Piazza del Campo.

Sandro provided an excellent overview of the trip and was an awesome tour guide. He was accommodating when we needed to go find a toilet when we missed to find the one in Pisa. And he was nice in finding a chocolate candy store that gave us sample treats in our short time in San Guiminiano.
