Your Itinerary

Florence

Begin your journey through the heart of Tuscany in absolute comfort… A private driver will pick you up directly from your accommodation in a luxury Mercedes vehicle. Then, you will be on your way, driving through the spellbinding scenery of Tuscany with its vibrant greenery, hilltop towns, and countless vineyards. You will arrive in Siena in about an hour.

Siena

Your driver will drop you off very close to the Siena Cathedral, a major perk of arriving in a private vehicle! Siena is a hidden gem of medieval glory in the Tuscany region. With a rich history of architecture, art, and culture, Siena itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enjoy two hours of exploration throughout the beautiful buildings, artisanal shops, award winning restaurants, and picturesque alleyways.

Piazza del Campo

While discovering Siena, you will inevitably find your way to the most famous square in the city - Piazza del Campo. Not only is this piazza a popular place for locals to gather, but it is also home to an annual palio horse race, which is an epic competition between the different neighborhoods of Siena! After admiring the panoramic views of this large, shell shaped square, you will have free time to grab a cappuccino at one of the many cafes lining Piazza del Campo, experiencing Siena as the locals do.

Torre del Mangia

Rising above Piazza del Campo, you can find Torre del Mangia, the intriguing clock tower of Siena. This incredible tower dominates the city's skyline and is the third tallest tower in all of Italy! Interestingly, the tower was built to be the exact same height as the Siena Cathedral. If you are looking for unique views of the city and Cathedral, climbing the tower is a great way to discover the beauty of Siena. Entrance is not included in this tour.

Duomo di Siena

Make your way to the beating heart of Siena - the Siena Cathedral. At first sight, you will notice the breathtaking facade and its various colored marbles and a unique example of Romanesque-Gothic architecture. Inside, you will immediately be amazed by the incredible marble, mosaic floors, which depict biblical stories on 56 different scenes. As you look up, you will see masterpieces throughout the church from Renaissance masters including Donatello, Pisano, Pinturicchio, and Michelangelo. Walk through the breathtaking atmosphere inside, and don't forget to stop in the striking Piccolomini Library on your way out! Entrance is included in the price of this tour.

Admission Not Included

Chianti Road

After a captivating morning of exploration in Siena, you can relax in the backseat of the air conditioned, luxury vehicle. Your driver will take you to San Gimignano along some of the most picturesque streets in Italy. Scenes that you have only seen in postcards will truly come to life! On this private tour, you have the perk of being able to ask your driver to stop as you prefer, so you can take incredible photos that will remain in your memory forever.

San Gimignano

From a distance, you will begin to see San Gimignano, with its unmistakable medieval “skyscrapers.” Sometimes called a medieval Manhattan, there are still thirteen towers intact in this perfectly preserved hilltop town. Your driver will drop you off outside the ancient gate of the city, and where you can find a famous panoramic viewpoint of the Tuscan countryside. You will have an hour to explore the lovely town of San Gimignano as you please.

Piazza della Cisterna

As you wander through the characteristic alleyways of San Gimignano, the streets will lead you to Piazza della Cisterna. This is the main square of the city, and where you can find the Cathedral, Duomo, and striking medieval architecture! You can grab a gelato or a coffee during your free time while enjoying the lovely views of this Renaissance city.

Collegiata di Santa Maria Assunta - Duomo di San Gimignano

During your free time in San Gimignano, discover the historic Cathedral and Duomo. Inside, you can find ancient and beautiful frescoes colorfully decorating the walls of the Cathedral. Many tourists skip entering this sacred church, and it is truly a hidden gem in the center of the town.

Admission Not Included

Pisa

After exploring the timeless beauty of San Gimignano, it will be time to depart for a great symbol of Italy - Pisa! The drive will last about an hour, as you travel in complete comfort.

Leaning Tower of Pisa

With the Leaning Tower right in front of you, a visit inside will be irresistible! Enhance your experience in Pisa by making your way to the top of the Leaning Tower. From the peak, you can admire the stunning and diverse views of Pisa from above the rooftops of these ancient buildings. Enjoy the breeze on your skin, and then take some fun photos before heading back down! Admission fee is not included.

Admission Not Included

Duomo di Pisa

In the center of Piazza dei Miracoli, you will find the Cathedral of Pisa. Often overlooked by the Leaning Tower, this church is a hidden gem of pure beauty in Tuscany. The Cathedral is one of the first examples of “Pisan Romanesque” architecture, a form of design only found in Pisa and towns nearby. Discover the intricate carvings on the facade of the building, so precise it is almost unbelievable this was completed over almost a thousand years ago. Enter the Cathedral for truly heavenly views: Cimabue’s iconic fresches, Giovanni Pisano’s pulpit, and golden ceilings.

Florence

After grabbing some last minute souvenirs from Pisa, hop into the backseat of your comfortable, private vehicle, and you will be on your way. Enjoy the return drive in the comfort of a private, luxury vehicle. The drive will take about one hour, and you will be dropped off at your accommodation in Florence.

Cristian was our driver guide for our day in Tuscany. It was a lovely day and we were able to see Pisa, San Gimignano and Siena. Additionally, Cristian arranged for us to have a lunch with wine pairings at a vineyard. This was a last minute add on that my husband and I greatly enjoyed, and even our children, who are too young to drink, enjoyed! Then, at the end of the day, he took us to Piazza Michelangelo for incredible evening views of Florence. I would highly recommend this tour - it was a long and full day that was truly memorable!

BEATRIZ_J

My family and I had a wonderful time with this tour. I read the description, inclusion and exclusion so I asked CIAO FLORENCE to help me book all the tour tickets and lunch (at this wonderful winery with wine pairings) that we wanted to do for additional costs. It’s all worth it. Our driver VALENTINO was the best!. He was on time and always communicating on where and when we would meet for every stops. He was very informative on historical sites and great insights on them. He pointed to us what we must see on our stops. We also had random conversations that made our commute fun! I totally would recommend this tour. WE like paying for comfort and if you have a kid / kids, I highly recommend this tour. I highly recommend Valentino as the driver as well. To make this successful, you have to communicate your needs ahead of time and CIAO FLORENCE made it easy, they started a WhatApp channel right away after booking.

Valentin was very professional. Everything was perfect Informative and on time Will do it again Great for families

Cheryl_N

Probably my favorite tour of the entire trip. Our tour guide customized the tour for a perfect trip for the three of us. I would take this tour again and recommend it for anyone visiting the Tuscany region.

This tour was absolutely amazing! Constantino, Martina, and Mario were great guides. We had a large group of almost 80, and they managed the group super well! The tour was super informative and interactive. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

marlaa901

Placido, our driver, was an excellent guide! We enjoyed the Tuscany countryside and of course some good wine. Bella

Amy_R

Cristian is the most passionate and knowledgeable tour guide in Tuscany. We had a memorable private tour of Pisa, San Gimignano, and Siena. Highly recommended.

Bill W

Very nice tour. Daniella was an excellent guide. Nathan the other American guide seemed to be lost all day. The lunch and wine tour was great

Tina_T

This tour was fantastic and made even better than we could have imagined due to our excellent driver PLACIDO. There is only one Placido! He gave us so much background and history of the entire Florence/Tuscany area and tailored our trip to what we most wanted to do. We spent just enough time in Siena and Pisa to see the sights and experience the difference from the city and then he took us to the most spectacular area of San Gimignano to a wine luncheon at Corbucci winery. Everything was top notch and I would recommend this trip and especially request PLACIDO to anyone who goes.

Let me start off by saying we do not blame the driver at all for this experience. It's totally on the tour operators. I felt bad for the driver that he was dropped into this English speaking experience he did not seem at all familiar with. This was supposed to be an English language tour, but the driver spoke almost no English and didn't seem familiar with the tour. We gave up after asking a few simple questions about our surroundings or things we saw on the drive that he didn't comprehend. We are giving this two stars because we did see most of what we wanted by fumbling around on our own with Google Maps after being dumped off with no suggestions, recommendations or guidance. Unlike some others, we were aware that there would be no tour guide, but the reviews are filled with glowing accounts of great drivers who spoke English, imparted knowledge, and even assisted in getting them a lovely lunch and wine tasting at a winery. There was none of that in this tour for us. We asked about the possible winery lunch, and he was clueless and didn't understand what we were asking. We finally grabbed a bad pizza on our own in Siena because we had no clue where to eat. We'd never been to any of these places before. I don't think the driver was very familiar either since he came in for this tour from Rome. Obviously, the value in this tour is all about the driver's knowledge of previous tours and the ability to communicate well in English. It sounds like he got zero information on the basic tour before he was tossed in to drive it. Unfortunately, we didn't get a driver who could answer any questions. This also wasn't a door to door pickup and dropoff. We were dumped before Piazza Della Signora and had to walk back to Piazza Del Pesce at the end of the tour. I do not think we got what we paid for with this tour. It was specified as an English language tour. Unforunately, I'm now terrified about the other private driver tours we booked on Viator in the next few weeks. I'm really hoping they are better for the money we paid. At the very least, I'm hoping the drivers speak enough English to answer basic questions. Tour operators...please do better. Your customers deserve the tour they were promised in the description. Please stop using drivers who don't speak English for a tour that was specifically billed as an English tour. It's very uncomfortable to spend 8 hours with someone who can't answer simple questions. Kudos to the driver for trying, but it wasn't fair to him, either.
