The first stop of our trip is Siena, one of the most iconic and fascinating cities in Tuscany. Its narrow stone streets, elegant squares and medieval towers will make you breathe a unique atmosphere, suspended in time.
Here you can explore Piazza del Campo, famous all over the world for the Palio di Siena, the historic horse race that embodies the passion and pride of Siena. Walking through alleys and shops, you will feel the living soul of the city, made of tradition, art and authentic hospitality.

Thanks to the entrance fees included in the tour, you will also have the opportunity to visit the magnificent Cathedral of Siena, one of the masterpieces of Italian Gothic.
Inside, polychrome marbles, sculptures and extraordinary frescoes will take you on a journey into beauty, among masterpieces by artists such as Donatello, Michelangelo and Bernini.

After the visit, you will have some free time to explore the old town, take pictures and enjoy the lively atmosphere of this timeless city.

3

After saying goodbye to Siena, the journey continues among the rolling Tuscan hills, among vineyards, cypresses and picturesque villages, until you reach San Gimignano, one of the most suggestive pearls of the region.

Known as the “City of Towers” for its imposing towers that soar into the sky, San Gimignano will welcome you with a fairytale atmosphere and views that look like paintings.
Walking through its ancient streets, you can discover craft shops, shops selling typical products and small squares where time seems to stand still.
You will have free time to have lunch in one of the many restaurants in the center, perhaps accompanying the flavors of Tuscan cuisine with a glass of Vernaccia, the local white wine famous throughout the world.
And of course, you can’t miss a stop at the award-winning artisan ice cream parlor, to indulge in a moment of sweetness overlooking the hills.

An experience of pure beauty, perfect for breathing the true essence of the most authentic and relaxed Tuscany.

The day ends with a refined experience in a beautiful Villa nestled in the Tuscan hills, where elegance and tradition meet in a timeless atmosphere.

You will be welcomed in an exclusive setting for a visit to the suggestive panoramic viewpoint and the Italian garden, a place of harmony and beauty that contains all the charm of Tuscany.

The experience continues with a private tasting in an elegant room, where you can enjoy a plate of selected tastings and participate in a presentation with tasting of 3 or more fine wines. Villa experts will accompany you on a sensory journey through authentic scents, colors and flavors.

A moment of pleasure and relaxation, ideal for toasting at the end of the day immersed in the quiet and splendor of the Tuscan countryside.
