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
Tour perfetto. La nostra guida Alessia è stata lineare e piacevole, adatta anche ad un pubblico di più “piccoli”. Tour di 3 ore ma che scorrono velocemente grazie alla bravura della guida ma anche alla bellezza del palazzo, dei giardini e della storia che raccontano.
Mario was very nice and personable. He told us about the different neighborhoods and some of the history. It was a great ride because it wasn't the "tourist trap" type of ride. And when the ambulance boat passed us, he quickly turned us into the wake, keeping us safe and dry.
Alyssa was wonderful and very accommodating , her English is excellent and the way she explains feels it’s coming form the heart. God bless her and thank you for such a great experience
