Florence Day Trip to Monteriggioni, Siena, San Gimignano and a Chianti Vineyard Tasting

This day trip from Florence strings four Tuscan stops along one route and ends at a Chianti vineyard. Monteriggioni comes first, a small town known for its intact walls and towers. Siena is the main stop. The guided tour lasts 1 hour and focuses on Gothic architecture and key sites: the Palazzo Pubblico, Piazza del Duomo and the cathedral. After that, time is free for lunch and for wandering on your own. San Gimignano follows, a walled town called the "Town of Fine Towers" and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990. The stop lasts approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. Fourteen of its towers still stand, built as a show of rivalry between wealthy medieval families. The last stop is in the Chianti region, wine country. A local vineyard hosts a tasting of wines, charcuterie and oils. The group is back in Florence approximately 10.5 to 11 hours after departure. Two booking options exist: Tour with a guide in Siena: a guided city tour and a tasting of local products. Tour without a guide in Siena: more free time in the city, and a tasting is included as well.
