Head for a winery located in the Chianti region. Soak in the atmosphere as you enjoy a typical Tuscan lunch and taste some of the winery's Chianti wines. Learn about how Chianti is made on a visit to their cellars.

Arrive in your final stop of the day, the city of Pisa, for a visit to the Piazza dei Miracoli where you can see the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Fantastic day! My mom and I had such a memorable experience. Brando was a phenomenal guide. Personable and informative, we learned so much about the Tuscan region. Highly recommend this company and their tour options! We loved the itinerary and felt like we saw all the main highlights. We also felt very safe with the precautions taken during the ongoing health crisis.

Absolutely must for Tuscany lovers

Mrunal_G, Apr 2024

San Gimignano. What a beautiful town. The whole tour was great except the driving in rain part. But worth the views and visit to Pisa tower.

Great sampling tour of Tuscany

Jeffrey_S, Dec 2023

Incredible full day exploring Tuscany with the family. The amount of time was perfect to explore each city and the sitghts. The lunch and wine tasting was very good as well. Well worth if it want a sampling of different sights with limited time.

Excellent day out, comfortable ride in minibus van

Julie_B, Oct 2023

Really excellent day out, although long, we did get to see so much. Excellent guides and very comfortable minibus van. Would definitely recommend this tour company again (Florencetown) and this tour to others who visit Florence. Loved it.

Well worth it!!

Gary_D, Oct 2023

Our guide, Antonella(?) was great! She was so passionate about Italy and really brought it to life. It was a lot of ground to cover, but gave a good overview of the area outside Florence. Tuscany is amazing!! Great way to see a lot! San Gimignano was my favorite. Great tour!

Wonderful day at Tuscany

Michelle_O, May 2023

Had the best day in Tuscany. Lorenzo and Veronica made it so easy for us. The tour was on time, the gave us the highlights of the places visited, had some time for every place to be by your own. Very knoledgeable, kind and patient tour guides, be sure to have the tour booked with them.

A great experience!!!!

Marni_G, Mar 2023

Brando our guide was fantastic! He shared so much history with us and was very personable anc knowledgeable. It was a lot to pack into one day, but worth it. We enjoyed each part of our tour and would like to spend more time in Tuscany on our next trip to Italy.

Excellent tour

Elias_K, Sep 2022

Guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Tour was plaisant and group people were nice. All stages were on time. Overall the tour was excellent.

Enjoy all of Italy

Arlene_D, Jul 2022

Our tour guide Rubina was wonderful. She had so much knowledge and gave us good tips on things to do. Was extremely pleasant to be with. Towns were great to see all the different ones.

MUST SEES IN TUSCANY, Be sure to ask for BRANDO as your driver/tour guide.

MATTHEW_B, Jun 2022

Our driver and guide BRANDO made this excursion particularly memorable. While driving from one historic and visually stunning site to the next, Brando charmed us, informed us and encouraged us to participate in the voyage. Oftentimes, strangers fall into silence as they travel between stops which results in a sleepy downtime from which you must rouse yourself at your next vista. However on our sojourn to Siena, Chianti Country and Pisa, Brando kept us engaged and entertained throughout our time and we all became a group of interactive, chatty and curious voyagers sharing photos and getting to know one another. The stops of this tour speak for themselves (they are 100% worth seeing) but you will be smart to book with FLORENCETOWN TOURS and be sure to ask for BRANDO as your guide!

Small-Group Tuscany Grand Tour: Siena, San Gimignano, Chianti and Pisa

Daniel_M, Nov 2021

Once again, we were lucky enough to visit during the slow season so we essentially had a private tour. Brando did an amazing job of juggling presenting the information with giving us space to enjoy an intimate tour. Would highly recommend!!

Great experience!

Beautiful trip into Tuscany

rtmarino129, Sep 2019

The tour guide was wonderful. She took us to Siena where we received a short tour of the town, the on to San Gimignano, the winery for a delicious lunch and on to Pisa. It was a long day but well worth it.

Lucca was our guide on this...

Susan S, Jun 2018

Lucca was our guide on this wonderful tour. He was so knowledgeable about the entire region and was full of fun and energy. We started in Siena and we were met by a separate expert tour guide for the city. My husband and I had visited Siena before but this time we really learned a lot and appreciated it much more. In San Gimignano we had an hour of free time to stroll through the city and sight see, shop or sit at an outdoor cafe. Unfortunately for us, when we arrived in Pisa the sky opened up and it was raining so hard no one wanted to get out of the van! I decided that I wanted to see the leaning tower enough to get drenched and so jumped out and snapped a few pictures and ran back! Everyone loved the pictures so we all went back - even though it was raining. Then it was on to Lucca where we stopped for a treat at a local cafe. All in all, it was a very nice day and we truly enjoyed it! The best part was just driving through Tuscany and looking out at the beautiful hills and fields. What a wonderful way to see the countryside!

Jaclyn C, Jan 2018

Except that it was a bit squuezy in the 9-pax vehicle, everything was great. Very relaxing and the guide was very patient, attentive, and enthusiastic in his work. Keep up the good work Ricardo!

Vicki_T, Sep 2017

Our tour leader was great! San Gimignano was great and I really enjoyed the time we spent in this village. However on this tour I would suggest less time be spent in Pisa and Luca.

Excellent tour, Highly recommended...

Brian C, May 2017

We absolutely loved this tour. 4 towns and a winery tour seems like a lot to do in one day, but the tour was so well organized that we were truly able to enjoy all these areas without feeling rushed. Our guide Chris was excellent - I can't recommend him highly enough. Wonderful!!

I was kind of skeptical in joining...

Urbano_B, Dec 2016

I was kind of skeptical in joining such a tour that would visit so many places in one day, as I usually prefer rather relaxed and slow-paced experiences. Well, thank god I joined it! Discovering the whole Tuscany would probably take you a lifetime, but I was staying in Florence only 3 days and this tour turned out to be the best opportunity to really have a sense of true Tuscany. From the most renowned and magnificent places, such as Siena and Pisa, to enchanting San Gimignano and charming Lucca, not to mention the wonderful winery we visited, you really can breathe the authentic Tuscan essence, feeling immersed in it for a full day. The transfers from one place to the other vary in length but I felt them as part of the adventure: the landscapes you drive through with the minivan are gorgeous! Vineyards, olive groves, gentle hills... well, in a word, Tuscany! And, by the way, even though at the end of the long day you might feel tired, it still felt like a relaxed journey. I think this is all due to the very small group and the professionality and passion of our guide. The wonderful memories - and hundreds of pictures! - from this tour will be the best souvenir we'll bring back home from this Italy vacation. Thank you!

Wow! Never seen so many beautiful...

Urbano_B, Nov 2016

Wow! Never seen so many beautiful places in one day before! Our group was only 8 persons so it felt almost like a private tour, and this does make the difference in a full day trip like this. All the locations are well worth a visit like this. Wonderful Siena, quaint San Gimignano and Pisa with its leaning tower are classic destinations in Tuscany, cannot miss them, and that's because they really can fill your eyes with beauty. But I had never heard about Lucca, before reading about it on a great Tuscany guidebook, and trust me, you'll be surprised by its history and charm, plus the fact that it's definitely less touristy. Add to this a wonderful ancient winery in a medieval villa and castle, with a nice lunch and great Chianti wines - that can inspire a little nap during the following transfer to Pisa - and a fun and knowledgeable guide like Cristian, and you've got the perfect Tuscan day!
