Prepare for a day of absolute bliss as you discover the best of Tuscany… A private driver will pick you up directly from your accommodation in the comfort of a luxury Mercedes vehicle. Simply relax and enjoy the beautiful rolling hills throughout your journey from Florence to Siena. You will arrive there in about an hour.
60 minutes
Siena

Enjoy two hours of independent exploration throughout the medieval-style buildings, artisanal shops, local restaurants, and picturesque alleyways.
120 minutes
Piazza del Campo
As you follow the picturesque streets of Siena, it is impossible to miss the most famous square in the city - Piazza del Campo. This (very) large, oval shaped piazza is a popular place for locals to gather with family, friends, and classmates. You will find plenty of Sienese locals resting on the wide slopes, which lead to Palazzo Comunale and Torre del Mangia. 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, re-energize yourself with a cappuccino at one of the many cafes lining Piazza del Campo, experiencing Siena as the locals do.
30 minutes
Duomo di Siena
After spending some time leisurely exploring the city, it will be time to visit the beating heart of Siena - the Siena Cathedral. The breathtaking facade is decorated in pink, green, white, and black marble. Constructed in the 1200’s, this is a marvelous example of Romanesque-Gothic architecture. After entering, admire the uniquely carved marble 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. Stroll through the grandiose atmosphere inside, and before exiting, don't miss the hidden gem of the Cathedral - the vividly painted Piccolomini Library!
15 minutes
San Gimignano
Then, hop back in your luxury, private vehicle, and you will be on your way to the nearby town of San Gimignano. As you get closer to the hilltop town, your driver will gladly point out 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. Here, you can find a famous panoramic viewpoint of the Tuscan countryside and its rolling, green hills filled with olive groves and vineyards. You will have an hour to explore the lovely, Renaissance town of San Gimignano as you please.
60 minutes
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! Indulge in a local a gelato or coffee, and enjoy the lovely views of this ancient city.
