- Hotel pickup
About this experience
During this private tour, you will travel in the comfort of an air-conditioned minivan to explore three of Tuscany’s most enchanting gems: Siena, Monteriggioni, and San Gimignano. Each destination carries the magic of the Middle Ages, with stone walls, Gothic palaces, and narrow streets that tell stories from centuries past.
Your first stop is Siena, a city of art and elegance. Here you will spend about two hours, including a one-hour guided walking tour with a local expert. Strolling through its winding alleys, you’ll reach the stunning Piazza del Campo, one of the most beautiful squares in Europe and stage of the Palio horse race. The guide will lead you through highlights and hidden corners, immersing you in Siena’s unique charm.
Next, you’ll head to Monteriggioni, a perfectly preserved medieval fortress perched on a hill. Its intact walls and towers make it look like something out of a fairy tale. Take a short stroll, capture unforgettable photos, and enjoy its authentic atmosphere.
The final stop is San Gimignano, known as the “Medieval Manhattan” for its iconic towers dominating the skyline. Here, you’ll have about one hour of free time to explore at your leisure: sip a glass of Vernaccia, browse artisan shops, or enjoy an award-winning gelato.
To complete the day, a light lunch is included, either in a Tuscan restaurant or a farmhouse, where you’ll taste local specialties such as handmade pici pasta or panforte.
This 8-hour tour blends history, beauty, and flavors into one unforgettable Tuscan experience.
