IntroductionFamous for a wealth of art, history, striking landscapes and outstanding produce, Tuscany really does have the best of all worlds! With only a day to spare, see the best Tuscany has to offer on this full-day guided coach trip from Florence. Meet your local guide before heading for the hills on a scenic drive through the Tuscan countryside. Your first stop for the day is gothic Siena, famous for its medieval streets.

Or, alternatively, you're free to marvel the sights of Siena at your own pace, enjoy a drink in an open air cafe and meet the locals.
Enjoy a stroll among Chianti vineyards, olive groves and wine cellars before indulging in a traditional Tuscan lunch amongst the Sienese hills where Chianti wine is produced. Surrounded by grapes vines you'll have the opportunity to meet fellow travelers while feasting on local foods including cold meats, salads, pasta and bread. A wine-tasting class will be held during lunch including free samples of wine and olive oil (which are also available for purchase). After lunch you will visit San Gimignano where you can roam the maze of cobbled streets and small squares, grab a gelato and walk between San Gimignano's famous 14 towers. Your final stop is Pisa, where you can take an up-close inspection of The Leaning Tower, view the Cathedral, the Baptistery and monumental Cemetery in Pisa before venturing back to Florence where your full-day tour concludes.

Sandra is definitely the best tour-guide. 2012-01-24 Susan , Fantastic tour, the tour guide was informative, friendly and funny. We got more than we expected from this trip and every moment was great. Free time allowed us to explore at our pace and enjoy the towns visited. 2012-01-22 Mai , After over 20 different Viator tours across Europe, this was the absolute best!!! Greatest and most efficient way to see Tuscany if you only have a day. They took us to the beautiful town of Siena, followed by the smaller town of San Gimignano, a wonderful lunch at a farm in Chianti with the most beautiful views of Tuscany, and ended with climbing the Leaning Tower of Pisa (all in one day!). A day I will never forget. And our guide, Becky, was excellent! 2012-01-22 merlinrnr , This tour is a must-go! It brings you to many places in the Tuscany. Sandra was organized and detailed and very kind hearted. She was so helpful even when the trip has come to an end, she was always there to provide you advice on your enquiries to other places in Florence and Italy. Great tour!!! It also helps that the tour group members were very enthusiastic. We had a great time! 2012-01-19 raaraana , Singapore This was a great trip at a great price.

Becky was our guide and she did a great job and new the answer to every question as well as was very informative of every part of the journey.
