About Tuscany Tour: Pisa, Chianti, San Gimignano & Siena
Tuscany is one of the world's most celebrated landscapes — a region of rolling hills, hilltop villages, ancient cities, and world-class wine that has inspired travellers, artists, and writers for centuries. This full-day guided tour from Florence covers the region's four greatest highlights in a single, seamlessly organised day — combining cultural sightseeing, medieval architecture, Tuscan cuisine, and one of the world's most famous landmarks into an experience that consistently ranks among the most popular day trips in all of Italy.
The tour begins with a drive south through the Tuscan hills to Siena — Florence's great historical rival for power, wealth, and artistic splendour, and one of the most beautifully preserved medieval cities in the world. A specialist local guide leads the walking tour through the UNESCO-listed historic centre, covering the extraordinary shell-shaped Piazza del Campo where the famous Palio horse race takes place twice a year, the magnificent Gothic Siena Cathedral with its extraordinary black and white striped marble facade and dazzling interior, and the Palazzo Comunale overlooking the piazza. Free time follows for a coffee, shopping, or simply soaking up the atmosphere of one of Italy's most atmospheric medieval squares.
From Siena, the route travels north through the Chianti wine region — the heartland of one of Italy's greatest wines, where a stop at a family-owned estate includes a traditional Tuscan lunch with wine tasting amid panoramic vineyard views. After lunch, the medieval hilltop village of San Gimignano awaits — sometimes called the medieval Manhattan for its skyline of ancient stone towers, its maze of cobbled streets and artisan shops filled with local saffron, ceramics, and Vernaccia wine, and the award-winning gelato of Gelateria Dondoli on the main piazza. The day concludes in Pisa, where the UNESCO-listed Piazza dei Miracoli delivers the full drama of the Leaning Tower alongside the magnificent Cathedral, Baptistery, and Monumental Cemetery — with free time to explore and the option to upgrade to climb the tower.

Insiders' Tips
Head to Gelateria Dondoli in San Gimignano's Piazza della Cisterna during your free time — it has won the World Gelato Championship multiple times and is genuinely unlike any gelato you will find elsewhere. In Pisa, walk all the way around the Leaning Tower before photographing it — the angle from the north side gives the most dramatic perspective of the lean. Bring layers as Siena Cathedral can be cool inside even in summer.

Entry to the Leaning Tower of Pisa is not included but can be upgraded on the day.
What is the Piazza del Campo in Siena?
The Piazza del Campo is the celebrated shell-shaped main square of Siena — one of the most beautiful medieval squares in Europe and the setting for the famous Palio horse race held twice a year. The guided walking tour covers the piazza alongside the Gothic Siena Cathedral and the Palazzo Comunale, giving visitors a comprehensive introduction to one of Italy's most atmospheric medieval cities.
What is San Gimignano and why is it famous?
San Gimignano is a perfectly preserved medieval hilltop village famous for its skyline of ancient stone towers — 13 of which are still intact today, earning it the nickname the medieval Manhattan. Free time in the village allows visitors to wander its cobbled streets, browse artisan shops selling local saffron, ceramics, and Vernaccia wine, and sample the award-winning gelato from Gelateria Dondoli, which has won the World Gelato Championship multiple times.
What is included in the Chianti winery lunch?
The Chianti lunch is a traditional Tuscan meal at a family-owned estate in the Chianti wine region, served with a tasting of regional Chianti wines amid panoramic vineyard views. Dietary requirements must be advised at the time of booking, and the lunch is one of the most consistently praised highlights of the tour by visitors who have taken it.
Is the Leaning Tower of Pisa included in the tour?
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is not included in the standard tour price — free time at the Piazza dei Miracoli allows visitors to admire and photograph the tower, and entry to climb it can be purchased as an optional upgrade on the day subject to queue length and availability. The Cathedral, Baptistery, and Monumental Cemetery surrounding the tower are visible from the piazza during free time.
What is the Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa?
The Piazza dei Miracoli — the Square of Miracles — is a UNESCO World Heritage Site containing four of the most significant buildings in medieval Italian architecture: the famous Leaning Tower, the Cathedral, the Baptistery, and the Monumental Cemetery. The dramatic concentration of extraordinary white marble buildings set on a perfectly manicured lawn creates one of the most visually striking public spaces in the world.
How long is the tour and when does it return to Florence?
The full-day tour runs for approximately 11 to 12 hours, departing at approximately 7:45 AM and returning to Florence at approximately 7:00 PM. The itinerary covers four distinct destinations across Tuscany with a blend of guided sightseeing, free time, and a sit-down winery lunch — making it one of the most comprehensive and satisfying full-day excursions available from Florence.
Is the Tuscany Full-Day Tour suitable for families with children?
Yes — the tour is suitable for families, and the combination of medieval towers, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the scenic Tuscan countryside, and the award-winning San Gimignano gelato consistently delights younger visitors. Parents should note that the tour involves significant walking on cobblestone streets, particularly in Siena and San Gimignano, and comfortable flat-soled shoes are strongly recommended for all participants.
What should I wear on the Tuscany Full-Day Tour?
Comfortable, flat-soled walking shoes are essential as the tour involves extended walking on cobblestone streets in Siena and San Gimignano. A scarf or light layer is recommended for the Siena Cathedral visit as a dress code requiring covered shoulders and knees is strictly enforced. Sunscreen, a hat, and a water bottle are advisable for the outdoor stops, particularly during summer months when temperatures across the Tuscan countryside can be very high.
Do I need to book the Tuscany Full-Day Tour from Florence in advance?
