Stop At: Florence, Florence, Tuscany

For those of you looking for a breathtaking tour of Tuscany during the golden hours of the afternoon, this tour is perfect for you! Meet your friendly tour guide at Piazzale Montelungo Bus Terminal. Piazzale Montelungo is located 5-10 minutes walking distance from Santa Maria Novella train station. Grab a seat on the comfortable coach bus, and prepare to depart! During your journey to Siena, your guide will dive into the fascinating history of the city, with some interesting facts and information. The drive will take about one hour.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Siena, Siena, Tuscany

Your guide will walk you through the perfectly-preserved medieval streets to the center of the city - Piazza del Campo. In a city that seems frozen in the Renaissance, it truly exemplifies medieval glory throughout the Tuscany region. With a rich history of architecture, art, and culture, the city of Siena itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site! Enjoy plenty of free time for independent exploration throughout the medieval-style buildings, artisanal shops, local cafes, and picturesque alleyways.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Piazza del Campo, 53100, Siena Italy

Piazza del Campo is a must-see in Siena. This (very) large, oval shaped “piazza” is a popular gathering place for locals to meet with family, friends, and classmates. You will probably notice Sienese locals resting on the wide slopes, which lead to Palazzo Comunale and Torre del Mangia. The vibrant square is also home to an annual palio horse race, an epic competition between the different neighborhoods of Siena!

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Duomo di Siena, Piazza del Duomo 8, 53100, Siena Italy

exploring Siena as you please, it is recommended you take some time to visit the heart of the city - the Siena Cathedral. As you walk up to the church, you will immediately notice the breathtaking facade decorated colorfully in pink, green, white, and black marble. Constructed in the 1200’s, this is a perfect example of Romanesque-Gothic architecture. Inside the Cathedral, take some time to admire the unique floors filled with marbled mosaics, depicting biblical stories on 56 different scenes. As you look up, you will see masterpieces throughout the church from Renaissance masters including Donatello, Pisano, Pinturicchio, and Michelangelo. Stroll through the grandiose atmosphere inside, and before exiting, don't forget to stop in the hidden gem of the Cathedral - the deep-colored frescoes of the Piccolomini Library!

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Chianti Road, Italy

A truly unforgettable evening awaits you… You will be brought to a rustic wine estate in the heart of the Chianti wine region. The estate overlooks the rolling hills and lush land. You will be seated at a prepared table among the vineyards of the estate. Does it get much better than this? One of the local wine producers will serve the appetizers of local, seasonal products such as bruschette, salami, and fresh cheese. Then, indulge in a home cooked pasta dish, all made with local products from the region. And the best part - your dinner will include a tasting of various high-quality wines, including Chianti Classico. Enjoy this fantastic meal under the glowing, colorful sky of Tuscany as the sun falls into the horizon.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Florence, Florence, Tuscany

After your delicious (and picture-perfect!) dinner under the Tuscan sunset, it will be time to head back to Florence. You will arrive back in the early evening.

Very disappointed with the tour. Maybe I should have booked a different one. The tour guide was very nice, but didn’t have to do much. She led us from the bus into Siena, and then told us to meet back in 2 hours. The wine experience was poor at best. The staff showed a total lack of interest - didn’t walk us thru the meals and wine. Very little commentary from them. They missed a great opportunity as their place is beautiful. But the execution was awful. I’ve had great luck with La Vacanza Travel but this one was clearly the worst.

Lisa was fantastic! We learned much about Sienna and wine.🍷 The country side was beautiful! despite the rain. Loved the winery, its vineyards were huge really some thing. The winery inside and outside was very impressive. Loved the family and the wine was outstanding really! And the accompanying food was very delicious! Highly Recommended! Would do it again!!!

I should have listen to the other review that rated it poorly, as this was a horrible experience. Was not worth the money. Should have spent the money on something else.
