Full description
This tour ticks off two must-sees in Tuscany's collection, Siena and San Gimignano. You'll be picked up from your accommodation in Florence and taken for a full-day tour of these two cultural hotspots.
You'll start with a walking tour of the old town of Siena. Siena Cathedral, one of Italy's most popular Romanesque-meets-Gothic churches is here, too, and you'll head inside it before heading into the city centre. In this part of Siena, the Piazza del Campo is the biggest draw. Shaped like a seashell, you'll find everything from a big water fountain to City Hall here.
Then you'll hop back on your transport and make your way to San Gimignano, which is often known as the Manhattan of the Middle Ages because of its line-up of ancient towers. You'll head to a gelateria for a chance to try some ice-cream made by a master whose creations have won international championships. When you've had your fill and looked around San Gimignano, you'll be taken back to your accommodation in Florence.

Reviews
The tour was very interesting and informative. It was good to learn about the history of the palace. We took the tour that included the shuttle bus. This was a life saver in the heat as there is 2 hours of walking through the palace itself before getting to go through the gardens. Our guide was fabulous! Thank you
exelente guia Rosa
il tempo messo a disposizione di 1 ora è troppo poco. per visitare bene la cattedrale e spiegare il resto sarebbero necessarie 1,5/2 ore. Tutto molto bello. affreschi campo Santo superlativi. L,'eco ogni mezz'ora nel tabernacolo emozionante
