Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Embark on a Tuscan adventure with our driver, who will pick you up from your hotel or chosen location, be it a B&B or private flat. The first stop is in Pisa, allowing for a self-guided visit of 1 hour near "Piazza dei Miracoli."

Here, take in the marvels of the iconic Leaning Tower, capturing its beauty through photographs. Explore the other remarkable buildings that grace the Field of Miracles, including the breathtaking Baptistery and splendid Cathedral. The Leaning Tower, with its intriguing history, began its lean during construction in the 12th century due to soft ground, a challenge that persisted through the completion of construction in the 14th century. Stabilization efforts between 1993 and 2001 reduced the tilt to 3.97 degrees.

Departing from Pisa, our journey continues as we drive through one of the most enchanting "Tuscan wine roads." Winding through the sweet hills of Siena, you'll be surrounded by the picturesque landscape adorned with olive groves, cypress trees, and sprawling vineyards. The route leads us to a typical Tuscan farm, where you can immerse yourself in the authentic charm of the region.

For lunch, we visit a family-run organic farm in Tuscany, offering an authentic, sustainable experience. Savor traditional dishes like bruschetta, homemade pasta, cured meats, hams, pecorino cheese, and dessert, all paired with a selection of wines. Enjoy a wine tasting featuring Chianti, Chianti Riserva, Sangiovese, and Vernaccia. Taste the farm's extra virgin olive oil, including pepper and truffle varieties, as well as balsamic vinegar and truffle oil. Discover Tuscan winemaking and olive oil production while indulging in a feast of local flavors that capture the essence of Tuscany.

In the afternoon, our journey continues to the historic city of Siena, where you'll embark on a self-guided tour lasting 1.5 hours. Siena, a captivating city in the region of Tuscany and the capital of the province, is renowned for its splendid architecture and the enchanting main square – the Piazza del Campo. The historic city center of Siena has earned the prestigious designation of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Siena is further distinguished by the legendary Palio horse race, a biannual event that attracts hundreds of spectators. Explore the cultural richness and architectural wonders of Siena during your self-guided tour.
