Full-Day Tuscany Tour from Florence
Pisa, Siena and San Gimignano Day Trip with Optional Lunch and Wine Pairing
One day, four legendary destinations, and the rolling hills of Tuscany as your backdrop.
This Tuscany day trip from Florence brings together four of the region's most celebrated destinations into a single, expertly guided journey. From the shell-shaped piazza of Siena to the medieval towers of San Gimignano, the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa, and an optional wine lunch at a family estate, this tour is designed for travelers who want to experience Tuscany without compromise.
The route follows the scenic Chianti countryside, giving passengers a window onto the vineyards and olive groves that have defined this landscape for centuries. A professional guide accompanies the group throughout the day, providing historical context and local insight at each stop along the way.
For those who select the optional lunch and wine pairing, the experience extends to a rustic estate in the foothills of San Gimignano, where a three-course Tuscan meal is paired with high-quality local wines. The combination of guided culture, free exploration time, and a farm-to-table meal makes this one of the most complete introductions to Tuscany available from Florence.
Tour Highlights
Walk through Siena's UNESCO-listed historic center, including Piazza del Campo and the Gothic Cathedral, with a professional local guide.
Enjoy an optional three-course Tuscan lunch paired with quality local wines at a family-owned estate near San Gimignano.
Photograph the celebrated Leaning Tower of Pisa and the surrounding Square of Miracles, one of Italy's most recognized landmarks.
Explore the cobbled streets and medieval towers of San Gimignano, a hilltop village that has preserved its 13th-century skyline.
Take in panoramic views of the Tuscan countryside from a scenic viewpoint above San Gimignano before entering the ancient gates.
Return to Florence along scenic Tuscan roads as the sun sets over the vineyards, rounding off the day with a memorable evening vista.
