Rejseplan
Efterlader Firenze bag sig, begynder rejsen med en naturskøn køretur gennem det rullende toscanske landskab, indtil skylinen af Siena vises, en perfekt bevaret middelalderby beliggende på toppen af tre bakker. Siena er kendt for sine varme-tonede mursten bygninger og gotisk karakter, tilbyder en øjeblikkelig følelse af at træde tilbage i tiden.
Ved ankomsten fører en kort gåtur til Piazza Salimbeni, et raffineret og roligere torv indrammet af elegante paladser. I midten står en statue af Sallustio Bandini, omgivet af det historiske hovedkvarter for en af de ældste banker i verden, hvilket giver pladsen en udpræget ædel og intellektuel atmosfære.
Som turen fortsætter, vil du blive introduceret til det unikke koncept af "kontrade", Sienas historiske distrikter. Hver kontrada har sit eget emblem, traditioner og hård identitet, som alle kommer til live under det berømte Palio hestevæddeløb. Gå gennem disse kvarterer afslører flag, springvand og symboler, der fortæller historier om århundreders rivalisering og stolthed.
Sienas hjerte afslører sig i Piazza del Campo, et stort skallenformet torv, der skånsomt skråner mod Palazzo Pubblico. Dette er scenen for Palio og en af de mest unikke offentlige rum i Europa, hvor lokale og besøgende samles for at slappe af og suge i atmosfæren.
Ruten fører derefter opad til den storslåede Duomo di Siena, et mesterværk af italiensk gotisk arkitektur. Dens slående sort-hvide marmorfacade og rigt indrettede interiør - med indviklede gulve, skulpturer og værker af mestere som Michelangelo - gør det til en af de mest betagende kirker i Italien.
Dernæst besøger vi en økologisk, familiedrevet vingård - en af dagens sande højdepunkter. Her vil du nyde en afslappet og uformel smagsoplevelse, prøve regionale vine som Chianti, Vernaccia og den traditionelle toscanske dessertvin, Vin Santo. Dette efterfølges af en generøs frokost med autentiske lokale smagsstoffer, som alle serveres med en omfattende udsigt over det omkringliggende landskab. Det er det perfekte tidspunkt at slappe af, forbinde med andre rejsende og nyde friske, økologiske landbrugsprodukter, herunder hjemmelavet pasta, håndlavede hærdede kød som prosciutto og salami, lokale oste, en sprød havesalat og klassiske toscanske biscotti.
Forlader vingården, rejsen fortsætter gennem vinmarker og olivenlunde til San Gimignano, ofte kaldet "Middelalderlige Manhattan" for sin skyline af gamle tårne. Denne UNESCO-listede bjergby tilbyder en slående kontrast med sine lodrette silhuetter, der stiger over landskabet.
Når du kommer ind i byen, vil du finde dig selv i Piazza della Cisterna, en trekantet firkant, der er opkaldt efter brønden i dens centrum. Omgivet af tårne og middelalderlige huse, er det et malerisk og livligt sted, perfekt til pause og indtagelse i den tidløse atmosfære.
Få skridt væk ligger Piazza del Duomo, byens religiøse og borgerlige centrum. Her står Collegiate Kirken overfor Palazzo Comunale og skaber et harmonisk rum, der afspejler magtbalancen i middelalderlivet.
Besøget fortsætter til Rocca di Montestaffoli, en fæstning, der tilbyder panoramaudsigt over det omkringliggende landskab. Fra dette synspunkt skaber de rullende bakker, vinmarker og fjerne landsbyer et kvintessentielt toscansk landskab.
Om eftermiddagen kører ruten mod vest mod Pisa, en historisk maritim republik kendt over hele verden for sine arkitektoniske skatte. Byens atmosfære blander akademisk energi - takket være dets universitet - med århundreder af historie.
Når du ankommer til Pisa, træder du ind i den bemærkelsesværdige Piazza dei Miracoli, et stort grønt rum, hvor nogle af Italiens mest berømte monumenter står i slående harmoni. Dette UNESCO World Heritage Site viser en ekstraordinær samling af romansk arkitektur.
Besøget kulminerer naturligt i det ikoniske Leaning Tower, Pisas mest berømte landemærke. Denne elegante klokketårn i hvid marmor, der genkendes med det samme på grund af sin karakteristiske tilt, har fascineret besøgende i århundreder. Uanset om du bliver beundret på afstand eller tæt på, giver det den perfekte mulighed for uforglemmelige billeder og en passende afslutning på en dag rig på historie, kultur og uforglemmelige landskaber.
Du vil blive droppet i Firenze omkring 20.30 med et kamera fuld af billeder, en mave fuld af fyldig toscansk mad og en masse nye venner.

Noami was the best guide we’ve had all trip! She is such a genuinely kind person, she will ensure you have a great time.
This tour was very nice. Our tour guide Niomi was the best. She deserves a 5 star rating. Siena was very nice, and the tour guide there did a great job explaining everything. San Gimignano is a cute town, we were pretty much on our own there to explore. Linch at the winery was very nice, delicious food and wine. Pisa was a disappointment, it is very run down there, and there were lady pick pocketers at the entrance as we were leaving.
The tour guide was so good and explained everything thoroughly as well as being very interactive with the group
This trip was a little too long and too much walking..Started at 7:45 am and ended just before 9 pm.. after dark. City buses start shutting down at 10 pm and Metro at Midnight. We first had to walk about half a mile to get to bus from meeting point. The bus drove us to Sienna which was great, but bus parked over a mile away from city center. Town was incredible sight though. We had to walk another mile+ to get back to bus..A lot of elevation rises and drops. We then went to lunch which was nice. On to Gia something?? where the bus had to park at the bottom of the hill and we only walked halfway up and turned back with a couple others. We were getting tired and hot. The elevation from the parking lot to the entrance appeared to be around 70 feet guessing..Around walking steps of a 10 story building...We had to wait an hour for the bus to return to be able to get back on. In the meantime, our guide took off with the rest of the group and showed back an hour later when the bus reappeared. Two other passengers on another line had succumbed to the heat and were being treated in the lower parking lot by ambulances in the interim. No benches, little shade, and very little breezes..It was 100 degrees by then. When we left that parking lot, we drove past the entrance to the town where there was a parking lot right outside the entrance, a taxi waiting area, and benches for some other transportation holding area. We then drove off to Pisa..Even though we purchased everything offered by this tour including walking to the top of Pisa tower, we told our guide that we were tired of climbing and were not climbing the tower. We did walk over a mile from where the bus parked and to the tower though and walked the same distance on the return. When we arrived back in Florence, we had to walk another half mile to get back to the meeting point where it all started. My wife and I have traveled in Europe occasionally. We have walked up and down streets of Edinburgh Scotland which are hilly. We have toured Germany, Austria, France England, and others we are probably leaving out.We have walked the spiral staircase to the crown of the Statue of Liberty in NYC..This tour was too much for us. We do not recommend unless you are in very good shape.
A full day of experiencing Tuscany! All the most see destinations, Siena with its unique culture, a taste of Italy with 3 course lunch, exploring San Gimignano and of course Pisa! Our group enjoyed the day together, there is a lot of walking and of course lots of tourists and lots of repetitive souvenir shops. Mano our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the different sites, and provided all information with just the right Italian flare!
Trip was fantastic ! Our tour guide Giancarlo was amazing definitely the best tour guide out there ! If i had to be critical i wish pisa was not apart of the trip because out of all the amazing places we went to that had me in awe , that place in my opinion wasn’t great, but The entire day before that 10/10 ! Recommend!
Had a great time exploring Tuscany day trip. Our guide Miri was wonderful.
Giancarlo was an amazing guide, knowledgeable, funny, enthusiastic. The day was incredible, a fantastic meal at a vineyard, a guided tour in Siena, a stop at the leaning tour of Pisa, and a medieval tour nearby. A fabulous way to see lots of Tuscany in a full 12 hour day.

Superb tour! We had such a great day with Manolo! Everything was really well organized, and we got to see some of the best places in Tuscany in just one day. Siena was beautiful, the lunch at the winery was delicious, and San Gimignano was absolutely charming. Ending the day in Pisa was the perfect finish. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip enjoyable without overwhelming us with information. We never felt rushed and had enough time to enjoy each stop. If you’re looking for a fun and stress-free day trip through Tuscany, I definitely recommend this tour!
