The Best of Tuscany tour is the most popular of all the Tuscan tours. Your guided tour in Tuscany begins with a scenic stop in Florence at the breath taxingly beautiful Piazzale Michelangelo (Michelangelo Square.) Here you will be enthralled by this famous panoramic view of the City of Florence. The magnificent tableau from this observation has been photographed and reproduced on countless postcards.

Siena–Our excursion heads toward the south of Tuscany and the beautiful city of Sienna. This is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the nation, known for its medieval cityscape, its museums and art, its cuisine, and the world famous horse race, The Palio. The citizens of Sienna display their pride in their history in the days leading up to The Palio di Siena by performing a magnificent pageant, the Corteo Storico, throughout the city streets.  The twice yearly horse race, held on July 2nd and August 16th, attracts visitors and spectators from around the world.

As your private guide in Siena, I have obtained official permits that allow us to drive through the narrow, winding pedestrian streets right into the heart of the town to the extraordinary Cathedral of Sienna, one of Italy’s greatest examples of Romanesque-Gothic architecture. This Duomo is home to extraordinary works of art by Donatello, Bernini, and Michelangelo. Yourwalking tour in Siennacontinues as we walk about the incredibly beautiful shell-shaped town square, the Piazza del Campo. 

Sienna is also known for its centuries old rivalry with the city of Florence. We will see the imposing fortress of Monteriggioni which was built to protect Sienna’s northern boundaries. Its massive walls were raised in 1213, as you’ll see from the headstone on its main gate. 

Chianti - We’ll have some free time in Sienna prior to lunch and then in the early afternoon we will continue with a guided tour in Chianti, where we’ll visit one of the largest wine producers in the province of Chianti, the Organic Farm. Here we will enjoy delightful cuisinefor lunch and participate ina favorite Tuscan pastime: wine tasting. The world famous red wine produced in this region and known by the name Chiantiis from a recipe created in the mid- nineteenth century and is made predominantly from Sangiovese grapes.

San Gimignano – This ancient, walled town is famous for its medieval architecture, most notably its fourteen beautifully preserved towers that have survived centuries of wars and weather to become the international symbol of this small city. Our walking tour in San Gimignano will take us to the center of town to the Piazza della Cisterna (the Square of the Well.) You will enjoy the many fine shops here, where you can buy the local, smooth white wine called Vernaccia, as well as the best ice cream in the world!
