Morning in Siena
After meeting your tour leader and taking the scenic drive from Florence, we arrive in Siena. While the town is still quiet, this is the perfect time to wander around this beautiful town that is rich in history. Siena's attraction lies in its hilltop cityscape of ochre colored buildings with red clay roofs and green shutters, its narrow medieval streets and proud traditions.
Experience Siena as you walk through its gothic streets and squares, passing the oldest bank in the world, the site of the famous 600-year-old Palio horse race and to the Cathedral with its treasure chest of numerous works of art, including the unique inlaid marble floor.
During your free time, wander through Siena at your own pace, enjoy a drink (not included) in the beautiful Piazza del Campo while soaking up the sun or window shop.
Visit of San Gimignano
After lunch (on your own) it is on to San Gimignano, only minutes away. Considered one of the most beautiful medieval hilltop villages in Italy, this Unesco World Heritage site is often nicknamed the "Manhattan of the Middle Ages" because of its famously tall and narrow towers creating a skyline that looks a bit like a modern city.
You will have free time to roam the artisan shops along the cobblestone streets and small squares, try an award-winning gelato and walk among the towns famous medieval towers. Venture into centuries of rich and tumultuous history while climbing to the ancient fortress "La Rocca" to discover the town's defensive strategy and experience the most spectacular views of the surrounding Tuscan landscape. Visit the Collegiata (or Duomo) of the town to see some of the most beautiful artworks by Benozzo Gozzoli and Domenico Ghirlandaio, Michelangelo's master.
Chianti Countryside Drive
From San Gimignano, we travel across some of the most beautiful and enchanting countryside, providing a patchwork of different panoramas scattered with hilltop hamlets and little churches. The landscape of Chianti is featured in many Tuscan art pieces of the Renaissance and it hasn't changed much since then.
The gentle slopes are still clad with vineyards and olive groves. In July and some of August, there are bursts of yellow from the fields of sunflowers. In May, see brilliant red poppy fields. In autumn the woodland is populated with mushroom-hunters and vineyards coloring the landscape in red, orange and yellow.
