Private Tuscany Tour: Siena, Pisa and San Gimignano from Florence

Valentino our driver made the difference! He knew everything about the culture, history and helped a lot along the way. Our day was perfect! Beautiful cities and so much to explore! We started in Pisa and from there had lunch at Saint’Appiano - beautiful winery and I strongly recommend - then San Gimignano and Siena. This is a 10 hour tour but I could certainly spend hours in Siena! The cathedrals and duomos are one of a kind and a must see! Lots of things to do and shop = leather , coffee shops and the best gelato in the world. Thanks again Valentino for everything. You deserve a 1000 stars ;-) Um abraço brasileiro em você!

It is a long day, as you will be spending 12 hours visiting some stunning places in Tuscany, like Siena, San Gimignano, and Pisa. But it is totally worth it in my opinion. Fun fact: Italy has 61 UNESCO heritage sites and during this trip, we were able to already see 3! I opted for the all-in tour, including lunch and a guided tour in Siena. Constantino was our tour leader, and he was such an amazing guide! He was funny and shared some fun facts along the way. We started the day off by being driven to Siena by the bus driver who has more than 20 years of experience. Upon arriving in Siena we got some free time to explore the city on our own. Then we met our tour guide, who told us some interesting facts about the city, such as the horse competitions that take place in the main square of Siena. Together with her, we also visited the Duomo - which was so detailed and just stunning to see! Once inside, we got to know that this Duomo is a combination of 4 different styles, rather than one. In some way, it all merges so well together. We were also able to visit the attached library that was still in its original state and well preserved, which I did. It still had some vibrant colors. After the guided tour, we had some more free time and then hopped back on the bus and drove to "Il Ciliegio", where we had lunch and were able to taste some locally produced wines. There was an option for vegetarians - which I found really good. The lunch itself was simple, but really tasty. After our lunch, we were on our way to San Gimignano, which I found the most stunning town I have ever seen. The town is also called the New York of the Medieval time. It is small but so gorgeous. It has an ice cream shop called "Gelateria Dondoli", which was voted the best ice cream in the world in 2024. It is a must visit as it has some interesting flavors. Once we arrived in San Gimignano, Constantino showed us a good leather shop and also gave us some information about the town itself, such as the twin towers. After our free time, we were on our way to finish off the day by visiting Pisa and the leaning tower of Pisa, there was more to do if you wanted to. In my opinion, you would not have been in Pisa if you did not do the famous pose that every tourist does. After our time in Pisa, it was time to head back to Florence, where we arrived at around 19:30. After this long trip, I was tired but satisfied, as I have seen some amazingly beautiful places in Tuscany. Tip: bring anti-car sickness pills, if you get car sick easily.

We enjoyed a daylong private tour of the Tuscany region, visiting several towns and lunch at a wonderful Winery. The guide/driver was very knowledgeable and provided great insights on the history and present day life in Tuscany. This was a great introduction to Tuscany!
