Start at San Gimignano, the world-famous walled town located on a hilltop, which has remained intact through the centuries and is known for its tall towers, frescoes, and many other works of art. Take around 2 hours of free time to explore the city center.

Stroll along the narrow medieval streets of the city, flanked by splendid palaces and historic shops. Pass through the Piazza del Campo and visit the cathedral, if you select the option. 

Take some free time in Siena before returning to Florence.

The lunch was probably the highlight of this trip, the food was delicious and the host very informative. There was enough time to enjoy but it didn’t go for too long. Roughly 3 hours free time in Siena, 40mins in Monteriggione (beautiful) and 1.5hr in San Gimignano (getting here early avoids some of the crowds we saw entering as we left). Overall beautiful towns and lovely food.

It was good however the guide we had in Sienna was not great. She talked a lot about the horse race, community flags, winners etc for way too long. In the cathedral she failed to give us adequate information, learned more by going on the internet. I’m sure members of our tour would have appreciated knowing there was a Michelangelo sculpture of St Peter on display!

Trip itself was great- a little confusing to get checked in for the bus in the morning- All the sites were excellent- A note to guides: please count guests as they re-enter the bus after every excursion- they almost left one behind- All in all, I would highly recommend this tour, very reasonable!
