Description

From the Leaning Tower to medieval towers and stunning cathedrals, explore the best of Tuscany on an unforgettable guided day tour!
Your Tuscany discovery begins in Pisa, where the journey through this historic region starts with the world-renowned Field of Miracles. Upon disembarking the coach, you’ll be greeted by the lush green grass of the square, which is dominated by the dazzling Cathedral, the Baptistery, and, of course, the Leaning Tower of Pisa. These structures are quintessential examples of Pisan-Romanesque architecture, with the Leaning Tower standing at an impressive 56 meters (183 feet) tall. It’s famous for its tilt of about 4 degrees, making it one of the most iconic landmarks globally. This area offers you a chance to marvel at architectural greatness, capture stunning photographs, and immerse yourself in the history of one of the world’s most famous locations. You’ll have time to explore the surrounding streets, where local shops and charming corners add to the authentic Pisa experience.

Next, the tour continues as we leave Pisa behind and head through the stunning Tuscan countryside, passing hilltop hamlets and rolling hills that provide breathtaking views of vineyards, olive groves, and distant mountains. This scenic drive leads us to San Gimignano, often referred to as the “Manhattan of the Middle Ages” for its iconic skyline made up of tall, narrow towers. These structures, which date back to the Middle Ages, stand as a testament to the town’s history and wealth during that time. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, San Gimignano is a well-preserved medieval gem, offering a glimpse into the past. Upon arrival, you’ll have free time to wander through the picturesque cobbled streets, discover charming craftsmen’s shops, and enjoy the quaint squares that dot the town center. If you’ve selected the option, you’ll indulge in a traditional Tuscan lunch, complemented by a wine pairing showcasing the region’s finest local wines. It’s a perfect opportunity to relax, enjoy the flavors of Tuscany, and soak in the village's beauty.

After San Gimignano, the journey continues towards the enchanting town of Siena, traveling through the Chianti countryside. Known for its vineyards and rolling hills, Chianti offers some of the most scenic drives in Tuscany, giving you a chance to see the region’s stunning natural beauty before reaching your final destination. Siena, perched on a hilltop, is a city rich in art, history, and culture. The town is renowned for its preserved medieval layout, charming pedestrian-only streets, and picturesque views. When you arrive, you’ll take a walking tour (if selected) through the narrow medieval streets, where your guide will point out important historical sites, including the oldest bank in the world. One of Siena’s most famous spots is the Piazza del Campo, the site of the legendary Palio horse race, which has been held for over 600 years. As you explore, you’ll also be captivated by the beauty of Siena Cathedral, one of the most magnificent Gothic cathedrals in the world, known for its stunning architecture and impressive art collections.
