Buckle up for an unforgettable journey through some of Tuscany’s most iconic towns with your own private guide. Start the morning in Siena, a city steeped in medieval charm and famed for its thrilling “Palio” horse race. Wander through narrow cobblestone streets, marvel at the stunning Duomo, and explore Piazza del Campo, the beating heart of the city. Your guide will share fascinating stories and historical insights that bring Siena’s rich heritage to life, offering a unique perspective that goes beyond the typical tourist experience.
After soaking in Siena, travel to Monteriggioni, a fortified village that feels like stepping back in time. Enjoy a delicious lunch at a local wine estate, sampling regional specialties and savoring local wines. The adventure continues to San Gimignano, the “Manhattan of the Middle Ages,” where medieval tower-houses rise dramatically against the Tuscan skyline. A UNESCO World Heritage site, San Gimignano offers a perfect blend of history, architecture, and breathtaking scenery. This full-day tour combines culture, cuisine, and unforgettable vistas, making for a truly immersive Tuscan experience.

Patti

We thoroughly enjoyed the Taste of Siena food tour with Claudia. She is a charming and very knowledgeable guide, who taught us so much about Siena. She provided great background on each of the delicious bites of foods we tried, as well as the history of this beautiful city. When the sunshine turned to thunder, lightning and hail, Claudia rearranged our itinerary, switching our dessert location to keep us sheltered and dry. It was a lovely day and we highly recommend! Niccolo is great to work with, prompt and knowledgeable about Tuscany. He kept us well-informed about the tour, meeting places, times, etc. A great experience!

Robyn

Niccolo arranged a fun and informative tour of Sienna for us followed by a wine tasting in Montelcino. It was a perfect day and I would highly recommend working with Tours of Tuscany to plan your Tuscan excursion.
Stefania

A wonderful tour of Siena, we sampled eight typical local dishes and saw the city's best attractions. I definitely recommend it if you're in Tuscany!
