Siena & San Gimignano: Trip from Florence + Optional Wine Tasting & Audio Guide

Additional Information & Description

Siena and San Gimignano give this day trip from Florence its focus: two Tuscan towns to explore at your own pace, with roundtrip transport connecting them. The journey also takes you through the Tuscan countryside, where rolling hills and vineyards form part of the day rather than a separate excursion.

Free time in two Tuscan towns

In Siena, free time leaves you to decide how to spend your visit. Walk through the streets, seek out the main sights, and pause to take in the city’s local atmosphere without following a live guided sightseeing tour. In the afternoon, continue to San Gimignano, known for its medieval towers. Here, too, you have time to walk around independently and explore the town. Both stops leave the sightseeing choices to you; the trip provides transport between destinations rather than a fixed sequence of landmark visits.

Transport-only and optional extras

The transport-only option covers the journey while leaving you to explore both towns on your own. A further option adds a tour leader and a Tuscan wine tasting, bringing a tasting component to the day alongside the town visits. An upgraded option includes an audio guide for Siena, adding details about its history and landmarks as you explore. The tour leader, wine tasting and Siena audio guide are included only when selected. A tour leader is distinct from a live guide, which is not included in this trip.

Travel by air-conditioned coach

Roundtrip transport from Florence takes place in a private, air-conditioned coach, with the return journey after your visit to San Gimignano. WiFi onboard and water are included. The full excursion lasts approximately 10 hours, covering the travel and time in both towns, so this is a full-day outing rather than a short visit outside Florence.

Arrival and ticket access

Arrive at Piazzale Montelungo 15 minutes before departure. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so the journey begins at this departure location. Tickets are delivered instantly and can be presented on a smartphone.

What remains outside the ticket

Entry to landmarks is not included. The free time in each town does not therefore include admission to its attractions. Food and additional drinks are also excluded.
