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.

Der Startpunkt Fondamenta Cossetti, draußen zwischen Bahnhof und Busbahnhof, ist nicht gut. In dieser Gegend gibt es keine engen Kanäle - eine halbwegs idyllische Fahrt darf man sich nicht erwarten.

Esperienza nel complesso positiva, simpatico e coinvolgente il gondoliere. peccato aver percorso canali periferici di per sè non così suggestivi.
