Rejseplan
Mød din guide foran kirken San Domenico i Siena kl. 9.30, let at finde, selvom du ankommer ud af byen med din egen bil, da der er parkering i nærheden.
Rej nordover i de første Chianti-bakker og gå en tur omkring Monteriggioni, en middelalderlig og perfekt bevaret fæstning med en komplet ring af bymure og tårne bygget i det 13. århundrede og nævnt af Dante i sin guddommelige komedie: dette var engang Sienas hovedbastion af forsvar mod hæren fra Firenze. Nyd den rolige og charmerende atmosfære, når du gennemser gader og butikker med lokalt håndværk og produkter, eller tænd et lys i den lokale kirke, som pilgrimens engang gjorde.
Fortsæt til den fascinerende by San Gimignano, en af de mest karakteristiske bjergtopbyer i Toscana med sine mange stramme middelaldertårne, der trodsigt overlevede århundrederne og stadig er stolte af i dag. Anerkendt som et UNESCO-sted med verdensarv, er denne by et vidnesbyrd om middelalderens arkitektur. Gå ad den gamle rute på Via Francigena, den vigtigste rute, der tog alle rejsende og pilgrimme i Europa til Rom og Holy Holy. Den travle San Gimignano blomstrer med kunsthåndværkelige butikker i lokale handel og butikker, der sælger byerne berømte 'rødt guld' eller safran krydderi samt Vernaccia hvidvin, så traditionel og gammel, at Dante nævner det i det 13. århundrede.
Kort besøg på miniatyrmuseet og undre dig over, hvordan San Gimignano så ud i middelalderen
Efter at have oparbejdet en appetit og gennemsøgt pladser, gader, kirker og butikker i San Gimignano, kan du besøge en lille familiedrevet gård og nyde en traditionel toscansk frokost tilberedt ved hjælp af gårdens egne sæsonprodukter. Under frokosten vil du smage retter tilberedt med safran ledsaget af den forfriskende hvidvin fra Vernaccia. Fortsæt efter frokosten på de panoramiske veje mod Volterra, den gamle Velathri, en by, der harmonisk kombinerer etruskiske og romerske ruiner med middelalderlig og renæssancearkitektur med de uundgåelige moderne bygninger og møbler. Besøg et lille kunsthåndværksted og møde de håndværkere, der har arbejdet med den lokale alabaster i årtier. Vidne til denne gamle kunst med at skulpturere denne sten til dyrebare mesterværker.
Nyd fritiden med at gå langs gaderne i det historiske centrum af Volterra, besøge byens berømte etruskiske museum eller blot forbløffe den tusindårs gamle etruskiske bue, det romerske teater eller de mere moderne monumenter og butikker i byen. I nogle tilfælde kan rejseplanen variere lidt. I dette tilfælde kunne turen ændres let, men vil opretholde et lignende generelt aftryk, af samme varighed og med alle de samme indeslutninger.

Ceco was an amazing guide for the day. The right amount of interesting history and facts delivered with passion and interest, balanced with sufficient time for self-exploration. Comfortable and safe vehicle to travel in. Small group made this souch more enjoyable and accessible. The lunch at Carmela's property was superb and just added to an already great day. Highly recommend Tuscan Escapes for the care they take and the passion they have for the Tuscan region (as evidenced by the high quality of their guides).
This was a fabulous experience. We particularly enjoyed the lunch at the Tuscan farm. Georgia, our tour guide, was lovely and hugely informative. We would highly recommend the tour.
We had a lovely day trip to San Gimiano and Voltera. Our guide was called Georgia and she made the day very interesting from start to finish. Her English was excellent. She began quickly by giving us explanations of the local area the towns and where we will be visiting. This made the whole thing easy to understand and made it a great day. We were dropped off at places that made walking into the places we were visiting very easy. She gave good suggestions on what to see and do. We had a lovely lunch at a winery. We were not rushed anywhere and even got back overtime without any issues. Really good.
This tour was the highlight of my trip! Our guide, Guglielmo / William was very knowledgeable, courteous and gave us plenty of time to explore San Gimignano and Volterra. My favourite parts of the day were actually the side trips. At the artisanal farmlandfwe had an incredibly delicious lunch.. I also loved meeting and watching the alabaster craftman work. He is truly gifted and I will treasure two of his pieces I am taking home. I had such a wonderful day that I could not stop smiling.

We had a great tour to SanGimignano and Volterra that also included a farm lunch with wine tasting We had a great group of people and our tour guide was very informative. We had time to see a little of both cities I wish we could have had a little more time on our own We liked Volterra but absolutely loved San gimignano .
Juliana was an amazing guide and a fabulous driver on the twisty roads. She was warm and shared her passion for the area. Would have helped to have a map of each stop with a list of what to see in each town. Highlights were lunch stop which bonded our group and the spot and food was great. Also loved the stop at the alabaster craftsman.
Juliana was an excellent driver and guide. Visit to Il Palagione was a pleasure with great wine tasting and tour of the winery. We enjoyed our visit to San Gimignano and Volterra
It was an expensive tour for what was included. The driver dropped us at the gate to each place with no map and limited directions. The tour would be so much better if they could walk us for at least 10 minutes as an orientation and give us a map circling key things to see. Some suggestions required a fee and there was insufficient time for them anyway. Lunch was just okay. The alabaster demonstration was not a highlight. Our driver was informative in the vehicle.
Giovanni gave us a wonderful tour. He is warm and very informative. A true gentleman and good driver. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
