Introduction

Your day trip takes you through the picturesque countryside of the Chianti region, a magical landscape of cypress trees, vineyards and olive groves you'll recognize from Renaissance paintings. On your guided tour of the medieval walled city of Siena, you'll visit the cathedral and its museum, and admire Piazza del Campo, one of the most beautiful squares in Europe. There will be free time for you to enjoy lunch in Siena (not included).

After lunch, your tour continues to San Gimignano, a tiny city that has survived the centuries. Hilltop San Gimignano is famous for its numerous skyscraper-like towers, frescoes and other art treasures. You will have free time to explore this fascinating city.

On the way back, through the ample coach windows, you will be able to admire the ancient medieval village of Monteriggioni, enclosed by its famous still-intact walls.

Both Siena and San Gimignano were so beautiful and the guides helped us enjoy them even more. Siena has so much history to be shared with visitors and the guide was very able to explain stories of the city and made it so interesting to learn more about the people and the customs. San Gimignano was just so beautiful and we enjoyed the time to explore and shop!

Loved this tour. Only problem was not enough time in Sienna, if you decide to eat with the group. The restaurant suggested by the tour guide was excellent value and food was great. Coach was clean and comfortable and guide spoke good english. Would highly recommend this tour if you want to see the most beautiful Tuscan countryside.

THIS TOUR IS A MUST! We loved our day exploring the countryside. Siena was wonderful with our LOCAL guide Paolo. He was very informative and had a cute sense of humor. We got a real feel for what life was life centuries ago. On to San GImignano....a magical village tucked in the beautiful countryside. As we wandered around independently, we could totally imagine what life (in Medieval times) was like within the walls surrounded by stunning towers.

Although it rained, it was a terrific day. Siena was beautiful and San Gimignano certainly took one back in time. The history of the whole trip was outstanding.
