Private Day Tour from Florence
Private Tuscany Tour from Florence Including Siena, San Gimignano and Chianti Wine Region
A full-day chauffeur-driven journey through the timeless landscapes and historic towns of Tuscany
This private Tuscany tour from Florence offers a curated full-day experience through three of the region's most celebrated destinations, travelling at your own pace with a dedicated chauffeur and no large crowds to navigate.
Tuscany's countryside, medieval hill towns and wine culture represent some of Italy's most enduring travel experiences. This tour brings together the best of all three in a single, well-paced day, moving from the grandeur of Siena to the intimate towers of San Gimignano and finally into the rolling vineyard landscapes of Chianti.
The private format means your group sets the tone. Whether you prefer longer stops for photography, leisurely lunches or spontaneous detours through the countryside, the itinerary adapts to your interests rather than a fixed group schedule.
An optional wine tasting at a family-run winery rounds out the day with a genuine introduction to local production methods and regional flavours, offering something beyond standard sightseeing.
Tour Highlights
Explore Siena's Piazza del Campo, Palazzo Pubblico and the Gothic Cathedral, three of Italy's most significant medieval monuments.
Walk beneath the 13 surviving towers of San Gimignano, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that defines the skyline of medieval Tuscany.
Travel through the Chianti wine region and take in iconic views of vineyards, cypress trees and olive groves across rolling hills.
Enjoy an optional wine tasting at a family-run winery with an introduction to traditional Tuscan wine-making and local produce.
Travel in comfort with a private chauffeur-driven vehicle throughout the entire day, with no shared coaches or fixed group schedules.
Stop for photographs at scenic viewpoints across the Tuscan countryside, timed around your group's preferences.

Departure from Florence
Your private vehicle departs from Florence and heads south through the Tuscan countryside toward Siena. The drive itself offers an early introduction to the region's characteristic landscape of vineyards and forested hills.

Siena — Medieval City and Cathedral

This private tour departs from Florence, the regional capital of Tuscany in central Italy, and travels south through the Chianti wine corridor before reaching Siena, a UNESCO-listed medieval city approximately 75 kilometres from Florence. The route continues northwest to San Gimignano, a hilltop town in the Province of Siena renowned for its 14th-century tower houses and designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
