Siena and San Gimignano – Day Trip from Florence

Ride into San Gimignano in a luxury vehicle, taking in the breathtaking countryside views as you make your way towards one of the most well-preserved pieces of medieval Italian history. The town of San Gimignano is known for its tower houses and unforgettable skyline, as well as its immaculate mixture of Roman and Gothic architecture.

You’ll walk through the town on foot, experiencing everything it has to offer from an up-close, immersive perspective. By the end of the tour, your perspective will shift to something much grander, realizing how far up you’ve climbed and taking the opportunity for a panoramic view. As you look back from the town’s highest point, you’ll be in awe – overlooking both San Gimignano’s history and the history of your own exploration, witnessing the town’s incredible structures from an entirely new perspective.

After this, you’ll find yourself in Siena: a town famous for its Gothic architecture and its incredible impact on renaissance-era art and culture, among so much more.

Here, Piazza del Campo will be a major fixture in your journey. Often ranked as a premiere example of beautiful town squares, it contains some of the best architectural splendor Siena has to offer, including the “Joyous Fountain” – built of white marble and fed by water from across the region, over 15 miles away.

Once you’ve had your fill, you will have time to yourself. You’ll explore Siena’s cobblestoned streets at your leisure, taking in the exquisite Italian air. The atmosphere and soul of Siena represents an incredible experience – one best lived through on a ground level, rather than merely studied.

The entire adventure offers 9 hours of unforgettable sights and sounds. Through it all, your expert guide will teach you all about each place you visit – pointing out all the greatest features that many tourists would otherwise miss.
