Private Full-Day Tour from Florence

Siena, Monteriggioni, San Gimignano & Chianti Wine Tasting

A private journey through Tuscany's medieval towns, hilltop fortresses, and celebrated wine country


This private Tuscany day tour from Florence takes you through four of the region's most celebrated destinations in a single, well-paced itinerary. Travel in comfort across rolling hills, ancient stone streets, and sun-drenched vineyards without the distraction of a large group.

The day moves between Monteriggioni's intact medieval walls, Siena's UNESCO-listed historic center, and the vine-covered landscapes of the Chianti Classico zone. Each stop offers a distinct character — military architecture, Gothic urban planning, and centuries-old winemaking tradition side by side.

San Gimignano rounds out the experience with its cluster of medieval towers and one of Italy's most recognized gelaterias. The pace is relaxed, the route is private, and the setting is consistently Tuscan at its most photogenic.

Tour Highlights

Walk the ancient walls of Monteriggioni, one of Italy's best-preserved medieval fortified villages.

Explore Siena's UNESCO-listed historic center, including the iconic Piazza del Campo and the Gothic Cathedral.

Enjoy a guided wine tasting at a Chianti winery, featuring local varieties including Chianti Classico.

Sit down to a traditional Tuscan lunch prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients at the winery.

Discover San Gimignano's medieval towers and the lively Piazza della Cisterna, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Travel the scenic Chianti countryside in a private vehicle with no shared itinerary constraints.
