Siena and San Gimignano Day trip from Florence Tickets at Piazzale Montelungo

Siena and San Gimignano Day Trip from Florence

This full-day tour takes you through three of Tuscany's most celebrated destinations, combining medieval history with countryside flavours. You'll explore the Gothic splendour of Siena, savour wines in the Chianti hills, and discover the tower-studded skyline of San Gimignano, all with comfortable transport and a three-course lunch included.

Your journey begins in Siena, where you'll wander the winding medieval streets leading to Piazza del Campo, one of Europe's most beautiful squares. With a local guide, you'll visit landmarks like the Basilica of San Domenico and Siena Cathedral, marvelling at its intricate marble facade and the artistic treasures within, including the vibrant frescoes of the Piccolomini Library.

The route continues through Chianti's rolling hills to a family-run winery, where a three-course lunch featuring local Tuscan specialities awaits. You'll sample regional wines, including the famous Chianti, and taste sweet vin santo while learning about traditional production methods against panoramic vineyard views. The final stop is San Gimignano, known as medieval Manhattan for its impressive towers, where you'll have free time to stroll cobblestone streets and capture the skyline against the Tuscan horizon.
