Itinerary

Your tour begins in central Florence

Meet your tour leader in central Florence (look for the exact location on your booking voucher). Here, you’ll board a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and embark on a scenic journey through Italy's most famous food and wine region.

Make a stop in historic Siena

Your first stop is the beautiful city of Siena, home to the famous Palio horse race held in the central Piazza del Campo since the Middle Ages. You'll explore this iconic square and see the world's oldest bank with your guide. Afterward, enjoy free time to wander the city and visit the stunning Siena Cathedral on your own.

Take a Chianti winery tour and enjoy a tasting

Next, visit a family-run winery that has perfected Tuscan wine for 13 generations. You'll tour their vineyards, wine cellar, and fermentation areas before enjoying a curated tasting of six wines, including Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG, Rosé, Chianti, Super Tuscan Riserva, and Morellino di Scansano, paired with artisanal olive oils and Gold Reserve balsamic vinegar.

Indulge in a traditional Tuscan lunch

Savor a three-course feast featuring Tuscan cheeses, cured meats, bruschetta, and salad, followed by Lasagne al Tartufo and hearty ribollita. Finish with cantucci, almond biscotti, paired with Vin Santo dessert wine for a true taste of Tuscany's culinary heritage.

Explore medieval San Gimignano

After lunch, explore San Gimignano, a UNESCO World Heritage site nicknamed "Medieval Manhattan" for its iconic tower skyline. You'll have free time to wander inside the city walls and discover this fairy-tale town.

Your tour finishes in central Florence

After a wonderful day exploring historic Tuscan cities and savoring the region's food and wine, relax as your driver takes you back to Florence. The exact ending point can be found on your booking voucher.

Our guide Fabi was extremely nice and accommodating. The tour was fantastic and covered everything they mentioned in the itinerary. The winery was really good with loads of good wines for tasting. So we came for the wine but ended up loving the olive oil and buying those! Highly recommend this!

We booked a wine and city tour with The Tour Guys this week while in Florence. The experience was relaxing and great!! Our tour guide, Scirin, was super sweet and informative about all the places we visited! My husband left a personal item on the shuttle and we reached out to customer service and they went above and beyond to get it back to us!! We were so impressed and will definitely book with them in the future!

Great tour of Tuscany - Siena, wine tasting, lunch, San Gimignano

Our sons and we had a very enjoyable day trip through Tuscany. Shirin served as our guide and shared just the right amount of information while also allowing our group to rest between sites (which we appreciated, especially due to the high temperatures). Our tour bus was nice as well. Alessandro safely shuttled us across the countryside in comfort. We would recommend without hesitation and will join future Tour Guy tours based on this tour.

We had a wonderful day trip from Florence to Siena and San Gimignano. The wine tastings and lunch at the vineyard were excellent, and our tour guide was very informative. We enjoyed visiting Siena Cathedral, exploring the beautiful towers of San Gimignano, and tasting some of the best gelato. There was also plenty of time for shopping and enjoying the charming atmosphere. A fantastic experience and highly recommended!

Tour guide Schirin to Tuscany

Schirin was an excellent tour guide and helped make our Tuscany day trip one of the highlights of our visit to Italy. She was knowledgeable, friendly, organized, and provided great recommendations at each stop along the way. We especially appreciated her approach to guiding the tour. Rather than overwhelming us with information, she gave us useful background on each destination, pointed out the highlights, suggested places to visit, and then allowed us enough free time to explore on our own. The small-group format and comfortable mini-bus made the experience much more enjoyable than traveling on a large tour bus. The medieval towns we visited were beautiful and full of character, and the Tuscany wine tasting was outstanding. The winery experience was well organized, the wines were excellent, and it was a wonderful way to experience the region. The only minor issue was that the tour took place on a Sunday. A few of the shops and attractions Sharon recommended were either closed or opened later than expected, which unfortunately prevented us from enjoying some of her suggestions. This was a relatively small inconvenience and may have been due to changing local business hours rather than anything within her control. Overall, Schirin did a fantastic job, and we would highly recommend both her and this tour to anyone looking to experience Tuscany and its charming medieval towns. The combination of beautiful scenery, great wine, a comfortable small-group experience, and an excellent guide made for a memorable day.
