Meet your driver at your Florence hotel and create the perfect itinerary for your needs, with plenty of time to explore the things that interest you most. Get insider tips on planning the day, then enjoy views of picture-perfect farms and forest during the one-hour drive to Siena, where you can stretch your legs on a walking tour of the city.
Take in the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo and visit the city’s medieval cathedral, whose black and white façade echoes Siena’s symbolic colors. Hear about the dramatic horse race that tears through the heart of the city each summer, and take time to browse local boutiques on historic boulevards.
Pause for lunch in a nearby restaurant—with advance notice, you can sit down to a traditional meal on a family-owned vineyard—then continue into the scenic hills of Chianti. Visit vineyards to learn how Chianti wines go from grape to glass, and discover the distinctions between Chianti Classico, Reserve and Tuscan dessert wines. If you prefer, visit a local tasting room to sample traditional olive oils and balsamic vinegars.
