About this activity

Discover Tuscany in one day from Florence. Begin in the hilltop UNESCO town of San Gimignano with about 2 hours of free time to explore towers, lanes, and artisan shops. Continue to Monteriggioni (seasonal; see note), a perfectly preserved walled village, with time to wander inside the walls. Cross the rolling Chianti hills to a cozy winery for a tasting of three wines and a three-course farm-to-table lunch, ending with cantucci. In the afternoon, enjoy a guided walking tour of Siena: stroll Piazza del Campo and see the Palazzo Pubblico, then admire the Cathedral (interior visit if option selected). Finish with free time before returning to Florence.
