Description
Enjoy a day in Tuscany, including a typical Tuscan lunch in the countryside of Florence. You will travel from Florence to visit Pisa, the city of the Leaning Tower, and will pass through San Gimignano, the hills of Val D’Elsa, and Siena.
Your excursion begins at the Santa Maria Novella, as your guide briefs you on the planned schedule and safety instructions before your tour departure. From there, your first stop will be to the heart to the Tuscan countryside, Siena, one of the most beautiful Medieval cities in Italy.
Your guide will show you through the enchanting architectural styles, including the cathedral (exterior only) on the top of the hill, the Palazzo Comunale (exterior only), and more. Next, your tour continues to San Gimignano, another stunning town of the Tuscan countryside. Here you will enjoy some free time to stroll through the town on your own and explore its beautiful squares, architecture, churches, and side streets, while also enjoying the wonderful hillside scenery.
Following this, you will head out to a rustic wine estate in the foothills of San Gimignano, where you can enjoy a typical Tuscan lunch enriched by precious wines. The final leg of your tour will be Pisa, where your guide will take you on a thorough guided walking tour of Piazza dei Miracoli and its monuments, a wonderful urban space with immaculate walled lawns watched over by white marble buildings. Finally, you will visit the most famous landmark of Pisa on your own: the Leaning Tower. Following a long and satisfying day, you'll be safely escorted back to Florence.
