Pisa, Siena, San Gimignano and Chianti Day Trip from Florence

The excursion begins in Florence and heads for Pisa, one of Tuscany’s great landmarks. There you’ll have time to explore Piazza dei Miracoli at your own pace, home to the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Monumental Cemetery and the famous Leaning Tower. On this tour, entry to the tower is included so you can climb to the top and admire Pisa from above.

After the visit, you’ll leave the city behind and head into the Chianti countryside, one of Italy’s best-known wine-growing regions. You’ll stop at a traditional estate surrounded by vineyards, where you’ll enjoy a light, Tuscan-inspired lunch accompanied by a tasting of local wines.

The next stop will be San Gimignano, famous for its skyline of medieval towers. You’ll have some free time to wander its cobbled streets, discover small squares, pop into craft shops or simply soak up the atmosphere of one of Tuscany’s most picturesque villages.

Later, you’ll travel to Siena, where you can explore at your own pace. Stroll through its historic streets, visit the Piazza del Campo – the setting for the famous Palio – and discover the medieval architecture that has made the city one of the region’s jewels.

After a day spent amongst historic towns, medieval towers, vineyards and Tuscan flavours, you’ll return to Florence at the end of the day. This is a particularly comprehensive option for those who want to experience several of Tuscany’s must-see attractions in a single excursion.
