Budget tour to Pisa, Siena, San Gimignano and Chianti with lunch in a wine farm
See the best of Tuscany saving on the price of the guided tour, booking this excursion for independent travelers with round-trip transportation from Florence, hostess aboard, and commentary on the bus.
Depart from Florence to Siena, driving through the lovely Chianti vineyards. Upon arrival in Siena you will have free time to explore the city on your own. Don't miss the famous Piazza del Campo and the spectacular Cathedral.
A short journey then takes you to a family run wine-farm in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. Here you will have a delicious, traditional Tuscan lunch served with typical wines.
After lunch, departure for San Gimignano, a Unesco world heritage site, famous for the still intact mediaeval town planning. It is often nicknamed the “Manhattan of the Middle Ages” because its famous tall, narrow towers create a skyline that looks a bit like a modern city. Here you'll have free time to explore the town centre, the charming craftsmen’s shops along the cobbled stone streets and small squares.
From San Gimignano, you'll drive past hilltop hamlets, or little churches, scattered over some of the most beautiful and enchanting countryside. You'll finally wind down the hillsides towards the coast to Pisa, your last destination for the day. Getting off the coach, you'll have free time to reach the Square of Miracles, a green grass field dominated by the dazzling white buildings of the Cathedral, the famous Leaning Tower and the Baptistery. You are in one of the most renowned places in the world: revel in it, take creative photographs or wander off down the local streets!
