Description
Choose this private day trip to Siena and San Gimignano to discover the historical and architectural beauty of the Chianti countryside. Not just history! Later on you’ll be also able to admire a beautiful sunset from a prestigious boutique winery before ending the day with a dinner cooked according to traditional recipes and heading back to Florence in your comfortable minivan.
Explore Siena with an experienced and dedicated guide
History teaches us that the only city that could rival Florence in size and prosperity was Siena. It is therefore time to discover it in all its splendor. To begin the day, you will board a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan that will take you from downtown Florence to Siena. Once arrived, you will take a guided walking tour of the heart of the city, discovering Piazza del Campo, where the famous Palio with horses and jockeys takes place every year. Your expert guide will tell you about the long history of this event and the 17 contrade that regularly compete. Before leaving Siena, or arriving in San Gimignano, you will enjoy an extraordinary surprise tasting!
Be amazed by the medieval skyscrapers of San Gimignano
The next stop on your private day trip will be the magical San Gimignano. This medieval town has one of the most distinctive skylines in Italy. Nestled in the rolling hills in the heart of Tuscany San Gimignano is known worldwide for its many towers, a precursor to today's skyscrapers. During your tour you will have some free time to browse and wander around at your leisure, discovering its history, its traditional products and, if you are feeling brave, climb to the top of one of the towers. The view is a 100% worth it!
End the day with a sunset and a traditional tasty dinner
The wonder is not over yet: having finished the tour of San Gimignano you will re-board your comfortable and entirely dedicated minivan and continue in the direction of a winery in the Chianti countryside. Be enchanted by the sun setting behind the hills and cypress trees, an image you will never forget. Once you arrive, relax, it's time to enjoy a traditional dinner with strong flavors typical of the area paired with wines selected by an expert sommelier at the winery. And of course, you will also have the chance of visiting the cellars. A wonderful and complete experience!
