Overview
While Florence is famous as the birthplace of the Renaissance, Tuscany boasts many other destinations that make an easy and worthy day trip. Your full-day adventure begins with morning pickup at your Florence hotel in a private, air-conditioned minivan with room for up to eight passengers. Relax and enjoy the views as you set off through the gorgeous Tuscan countryside.
Your first stop is the city of Pisa, known around the world for its iconic leaning bell tower. In addition to this must-see landmark, you can explore other impressive highlights of the Piazza dei Miracoli like the cathedral, baptistery, and cemetery. Your driver cannot accompany you into the town center or any major sites, but he or she is happy to provide plenty of tips and guidance on where to go and what to do.
Continue on to the medieval hill town of San Gimignano, known as the ‘Town of Fine Towers’ thanks to its many well-preserved Gothic and Romanesque towers. Enjoy a stroll through the UNESCO-listed town center and soak up spectacular views of the surrounding countryside.
Finally, explore the beautiful city of Siena, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and famous as the home of the annual Palio horse race. Explore the magnificent town cathedral, the Piazza del Campo and other highlights at your leisure before relaxing on the return drive to your Florence accommodation.

Terrific tour of Tuscany
John_J, Jul 2018
My family thoroughly enjoyed this day excursion from Florence into the heart of Tuscany. Pisa was a must-see, but we really enjoyed San Gimignano an Siena. Lunch at Il Piccolo Castello in Monteriggioni was spectacular — try the Pici pasta! Guide Paola was outstanding, as was the driver. Bravo!
Our guide, Elena, was outstanding...

<p>Our guide, Elena, was outstanding. She gave enough history to keep everything interesting without it being so detailed that we’d forget everything. Our teens even listened to most of what she told us which was a sign she was terrific. She was personable, took interest in us, and knew her stuff!</p>
Best tour of the trip. Our driver...
Kathy M, Sept 2017
<p>Best tour of the trip. Our driver was extremely friendly and fun. We felt like we spent the day with our uncle. We did everything we could possibly ask for and more. He went above and beyond taking longer ways and down extra streets to show us bonus things and tell us fun stories about what we see. Pisa was magnificent. We took a horse and carriage ride around the town and climbed to the top of the tower. San Gimignano and Siena are beautiful villages that you never want to leave. The lunch was in a spectacular restaurant over looking a tuscan Viniard where the nona cooks all the food by herself with her own two hands. The food was delicious and the wine was fantastic. We even ordered a few bottles to ship home. Fantastic day!!</p>
